About Us
Nutrition Studio is a private group nutrition practice located in Portland Oregon that provides compassionate nutrition counseling to a wide variety of clients.

We are looking for an equally compassionate and skilled Registered Dietitian (RD/RDN) to join our growing team! We are either looking for a dietitian who specializes in eating disorders but who can also treat other common health conditions, such as diabetes or menopause, or a dietitian who specializes in treating complex health conditions but is eating disorder informed.

Our values include being HAES aligned, weight inclusive, and very person centered and collaborative. We truly meet our clients where they are, and provide a space where they can be vulnerable in asking for help to manage complex health conditions.

We provide functional and integrative nutrition counseling, movement coaching, eating disorder treatment and more.
