Hi, I’m Larissa
I am a Registered Dietitian and Certified Diabetes Educator. I have been working in the area of diabetes since 2017, and my time working within the conventional system was the primary driver for my to shift to a weight-inclusive approach. Evidence supports a link between living with diabetes and an increased risk of disordered eating or eating disorders, and I have seen this firsthand. Unfortunately it is challenging to find providers who have experience in both diabetes and eating disorder support, which is where the motivation to start Homebody Nutrition began.
My hope is to create a supportive environment for my clients to explore their relationship with food and their body while holding space for the complexities that come alongside living with a chronic condition. I encourage clients to get curious about different approaches to diabetes with the goal of feeling empowered and connected. I consider myself extremely lucky to be a part of this journey!
Outside of my time with Homebody Nutrition I am usually cozy at home with my family, trying out new recipes in the kitchen or crafting a new project.
Areas of Focus
Food Relationship
How we relate to food and our body is complicated and shaped by our experiences, identities and the
Type 1 Diabetes
It is nearly impossible to live with type 1 diabetes and not have some disruption in your relationship with food. I work with folks to feel neutral with food and explore diabetes management options that allow flexibility without fear.
Type 2 Diabetes
This service is crafted to deliver exceptional value and reliability.
Prediabetes
I recognize that a diagnosis of prediabetes can come with a multitude of emotions. Our work will explore the root of those emotions, and support you in managing your concerns without restriction or food rules.
