Hi, I'm Lindsay! And I'm so glad you found your way here.Registered Dietitian Nutritionist · Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor · SHE Recovers®️ Professional
If you're here, chances are you're tired.
Tired of the rules. Tired of starting over. Tired of feeling like your relationship with food, your body, or even your evening glass of wine has slowly become something you try to control or manage instead of something you truly enjoy.
I want you to know: you're in the right place. And you don't have to keep doing this alone.
My StoryHow I got here…
My interest in nutrition started young—sparked by going vegan as a teenager (nearly seven years, for the record—though I'm no longer vegan) and years spent working in health food stores. Funny enough, I didn't set out to do this work at all. I first went to college to study art. But after some twists and turns, I found myself back in a health food store, where I first learned what dietitians do. I had a deep desire to help people — and, if I'm honest, a subclinical disordered relationship with food and my own body that I was still carrying.
That part started young, too. Thanks to the pressures of diet culture and impossible beauty ideals, I spent years secretly hating my body, always chasing "discipline," swinging between restriction and bingeing. It wasn't until early in my dietetics career that I discovered the intuitive eating framework and everything changed. It transformed my own relationship with food, my body, and movement. And it transformed how I was able to help my clients, too.
But intuitive eating revealed something else, something I wasn't ready for: just how un-intuitive my relationship with alcohol had become (and had been, for much of my life).
The part I didn't see coming…
For over a decade after healing my relationship with food and body, I tried to "moderate” my alcohol intake. From the outside, I'm sure I looked like a totally “normal” drinker to some. But inside, I was drowning in shame, anxiety, and suffering around how much, how often and WHY I drank.
When motherhood arrived, the truth got harder to ignore. Alcohol wasn't simply for "fun" anymore—it had become a major coping mechanism, and the shame only dug deeper. I was struggling not to drink on weeknights and found myself too often nursing hangovers all weekend instead of being the present mom I wanted to be. My body was hurting, too. I'd stopped moving the way I used to pre-kids, my gut health was a wreck, and at one point I was sitting in a surgeon's office discussing whether to remove my gallbladder (when I knew deep down my drinking habits were likely a big driver to it’s dysfunction).
My turning point came after a weekend girls' trip, when I broke a promise I'd made to myself about how much I'd drink. The next morning, July 30th, 2023 — I decided to take a break from alcohol.
I threw myself into recovery communities and started learning everything I could about alcohol's impact on mental and physical health—and about the "grey area" so many of us live in. That space where you haven't hit society’s idea of a "rock bottom," but you also can't quite believe full sobriety is "meant for you."
Two weeks in, I started feeling better. I honestly hadn't thought my health was "that bad" —but I had no idea just how much alcohol had been stealing my sleep, my gut health, and my vibrancy. Thirty days came. Then ninety. Then one hundred eighty. I just kept going.
And the more I kept going, the more I saw it: the parallels between diet culture and alcohol culture were everywhere. My disordered eating and my drinking were the same coping patterns wearing different costumes. The intuitive eating skills I'd used to heal my relationship with food crossed right over into my recovery from alcohol.
Where my passion lives now…
Today, my work lives at the intersection of those two worlds — disordered eating and alcohol use — and the grey area so many highly sensitive women like me inhabit. The place where you think it's "not that bad," or that you're not "sick enough" to deserve support, with no idea just how full, vibrant, and rich life could actually feel without food noise, constant body image distress and alcohol weighing you down.
I became a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor to help women find their way home to themselves — and I built Feed Your Spark for the woman I used to be: capable, driven, and exhausted by the pressure to be anything other than herself.

I believe your worth has nothing to do with the number on a scale, the size of your jeans, or how "good" you were this week — with food or anything else.
I believe real nourishment is about so much more than nutrients. It's about how you feel in your body, your mind, and your life.
I believe healing your relationship with food and your relationship with alcohol can come from the same place: compassion, curiosity, and the willingness to listen to yourself again.
And I believe the spark you feel like you've lost is still in there. It just needs tending.

I'm a proud mom to two girls and married to the love of my life — my partner of nearly twenty years.
I love strength training, dilly dallying, and being creative — embroidery, writing, photography, drawing, you name it — and I'm always, always reading. One physical book and one audiobook going at all times!
I reside in Southwest Missouri and offer virtual appointments only at this time (in-person availability to Springfield, MO coming Fall of 2026).

02
I'm proudly neurodivergent. Late-diagnosed ADHD, and I love nothing more than helping fellow ADHD'ers find their stride with nourishment.

This is what others say about working with me
"The most valuable part was learning that food is not the enemy. I'm not spiraling or having a 'food hangover' the next day; if I want a cookie, I eat the cookie and move on. I'm fueling to get stronger, not to shrink. It's brought joy back where I was lacking, and I'm a better mom and wife for it. I'm almost seven months sober, and this program has given me even more reasons to stay that way."
- TAYLOR
"Lindsay creates a space where you can be honest about your relationship with food without ever feeling uncomfortable. I've felt seen and heard the entire time. I've learned to fuel my body instead of micromanaging it, to step away from the scale, and to stop dictating my worth by a number. The food noise is a fraction of what it used to be. I feel the most content and peaceful internally that I ever have."

You don't have to have it all figured out. You don't have to know exactly what you need, or which "label" fits, or whether you're "bad enough" to deserve support. You just have to be ready for something different.
