Anna Bartholemy, RD

My interest in food and wellness began when I was a young teenager. I used food and fitness as a means to an end—to achieve the “perfect” body. What I truly wanted was to be free from the compulsion to eat or drink alcohol as a form of relief. I wanted to be able to trust my body instead of feeling at war with it.

​

I pursued a career as a registered dietitian- believing more education was power. It started off with books, lectures, and memorizing complicated formulas in chemistry. While I had obtained so much knowledge in dietetics and completed a graduate program, I still struggled with my own relationship to food and my body.

​

I worked in a diabetes clinic for years helping underserved populations in Harlem, New York. I became burnt out and decided to leave the city. I began hiking on the Appalachian trail. For years I lived out of a backpack and journeyed around the world, mostly by foot, experiencing different cultures. I studied Eastern medicine, yoga and meditation, art, and language. During this time I questioned what I believed to be true and finally reached a point of peace and clarity that felt like permanence.

​

It was only after I healed my relationship to my body and self that I felt I could truly help others reach a similar place of clarity. For the past 3 years I have worked with clients providing nutrition counseling. I specialize in weight management, hormone imbalance, and diabetes care. My counseling methods utilize intuitive eating principles, mindfulness/somatic practices, and sound nutrition based evidence. I would love to help guide you in your journey however big or small your goal is!
