My Story
“I know what it’s like to feel dismissed and misunderstood by a system built for standardization, not personalization.”
Hi, I’m Kiersten Coates, MS, RD, LDN, a registered dietitian nutritionist and herbalist with a deep commitment to helping women find answers where they’ve been told there are none.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed by doctors, lost in a maze of conflicting advice, or told that ‘everything looks normal’ when you know something isn’t right—you’re not alone. My mission is to be the guide I wish I had: someone who listens, connects the dots, and empowers women to reclaim ownership of their health.
My journey began long before I entered the world of nutrition. With a background in biology and a lifetime of dedication to wellness as an athlete, I’ve always believed in the body’s incredible ability to self-heal. But personal experiences taught me how easily that truth can be forgotten in a medical system that prioritizes standardization over individuality. Feeling dismissed and misunderstood became my turning point—one that shaped the practitioner I am today.
Pursuing my Master’s in Professional Nutrition Practice allowed me to combine my scientific foundation with my passion for holistic healing. Through advanced training in integrative and herbal medicine, I’ve learned to bridge the gap between conventional science and traditional wisdom—crafting personalized, sustainable care plans that meet women where they are.
I understand the exhaustion of endless testing, the frustration of “normal” lab results, and the quiet worry that maybe this is just how life has to be. I’m here to remind you: your body isn’t broken—it’s communicating. Together, we’ll learn its language and chart a clear, compassionate path toward healing.
Whether you’re navigating hormonal chaos, chronic fatigue, or an unshakable sense that something’s off, I’ll help you get clear on what your body needs—so you can move from confusion to confidence and from surviving to thriving.
Outside of my work, I love running, crafting, curling up with a good book, and spending time with my favorite people. Balance, curiosity, and joy are my personal pillars of wellness—and I bring that same energy to my care for every woman I work with.
There is a way through this maze—and you don’t have to walk it alone.
Your story deserves to be heard.
