Empowering you to fuel your body and reach your goals.
About Me
Hi, I’m Mikayla! I became a registered dietitian because while growing up, nutrition advice always felt so confusing and contradictory. Was it low carb? Low fat? How do you actually fuel for sports? I wanted real answers - not fads, not quick fixes. That search led me to study nutrition in college.
I received my bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from Brigham Young University. I completed my master’s degree in Nutrition and Dietetics and my Dietetic Internship at Idaho State University.
My Philosophy
I believe nutrition should be practical and enjoyable. No guilt and no restriction of entire food groups (unless medically necessary). I work with research-based evidence to provide not only food related advice but also behavior change advice. Developing healthy habits and changing behavior can often be the most difficult and overlooked part of a health journey. I work with people and provide resources to help them develop healthy habits without ‘punishing’ themselves or creating an unhealthy relationship with food.
Outside of Work
I love mountain biking and lifting weights - I find movement keeps me grounded and energized (as most people do!) My husband and I work together on raising our family with a healthy relationship with food and a love for all food groups. Food is one of my greatest passions - cooking and sharing meals brings me a lot of joy.
Why work with a dietitian?
