Support for your relationship with food, body, and wellbeing.

Our dietitians help clients move away from shame, rigidity, and all-or-nothing thinking and toward nourishment that feels more sustainable, flexible, and humane. Whether you are navigating a medical diagnosis, healing your relationship with food, supporting athletic performance, or simply feeling overwhelmed by nutrition advice, we will meet you where you are.

Rooted in compassion and clinical expertise

Our Non-Diet Approach

We know that wellness is deeply personal. There is no one-size-fits-all path, and lasting change rarely comes from shame. Our care is grounded in a weight-inclusive, non-diet philosophy that honors your lived experience, your body, and your goals. What you can expect from our team:

Weight-Inclusive Care

that does not center weight loss as the measure of health

Individualized Approach

tailored to your history, needs, preferences, and access

Evidence-based Nutrition

grounded in current science and clinical care

Compassionate Counseling

that respects your autonomy and pace

CV Wellbeing is a welcoming and affirming space for humans of all races, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, abilities, body sizes, and backgrounds. We believe respectful, inclusive care matters, and everyone deserves support that feels safe, compassionate, and free from judgment.

Our Empathetic, Encouraging Team

Our team brings a wide range of specialties, lived perspectives, and clinical experience to the work. What connects us is a shared commitment to compassionate, weight-inclusive care.

  • "There are no words to express my gratitude towards this group of women."

    “If you are even just considering recovery from an eating disorder or just darn sick of diet culture and silly food ‘rules’ you hear about in the media, these women have got your back. I work with Carolyn, who is one of the sweetest and strongest humans on this earth. After 15 years of struggle, she has been the only healthcare provider that has been able to help me put my whole heart into recovery.”

  • "Carolyn, Kristin, and the CV Wellbeing team are lifesavers!"

    “Their kindness, gentleness, and caring are unmatched. They are Health at Every Size, Trauma, and Eating Disorder informed, and their collective knowledge abounds. As providers, they go the extra mile while also empowering the individual. They provide the full supportive experience. Don't look any further - you have found the right place!”

  • "This program was very helpful."

    “I’m learning to love myself and make healthier and more positive changes in order to feel better.”

  • "Their philosophy has become a key component of our family's wellbeing."

    “The CV Wellbeing team has been an invaluable source of support for my family over the last several years, ranging from a teenager's eating disorder diagnosis, treatment, and recovery to an adult's pre-diabetes diagnosis. Carolyn, Alison, and the rest of the team are kind, direct, and clear, and their Health-at-Every-Size philosophy has become a key component of our family's wellbeing. It's hard to imagine the last few years without them!”
