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.
