Hi, I’m Ally!

I am an anti-diet and intuitive eating aligned registered dietitian (RD) working with clients to improve their relationship with food, heal from disordered eating, and support digestive health concerns.

My love for food began in my grandma’s kitchen learning how to cook Italian dishes and has since been instilled by gardening, paging through cookbooks, and eating local cuisine while traveling.

Growing up, I felt the pressures of diet culture and when I was introduced to intuitive eating, my past experiences with food felt validating. With intuitive eating, I was able to explore my own relationship with food, rediscover listening to my body, and incorporate mindfulness.

While completing my dietetic internship at Beth Israel Hospital in Boston, MA, I gained valuable experience in digestive health and saw firsthand the overlap between eating disorders and gastrointestinal disorders. I have been able to utilize my own experience with IBS and GI disorders to work effectively with clients and similar diagnoses.

I began my professional career as an inpatient clinical dietitian where I developed my skills in medical nutrition therapy and nutrition support. To follow my interest in eating disorders, I became the lead dietitian for Monte Nido Eating Disorder Center of Boston in addition to working in private practice. I actively participate in weekly eating disorder and GI supervision; a space to share, learn and grow in my skills.

In my free time, you will most likely catch me reading a good book, hiking with my husband, walking my dog Tumi, or traveling to see family, friends or a new country!
