Associate Dietitian

Hi, I’m Danielle Kauffman
I am passionate about helping people make peace with food and their bodies in order to make space for the joys life has to offer beyond food and body preoccupation.
I strongly believe that ALL foods are meant to be enjoyed, even though we have been conditioned to feel guilty enjoying it. I believe we are all different, so health looks different on everybody. And, I believe that no one’s life experiences are the same, so no one’s recovery will be the same.
