Erin Nelson
(She/Her/Hers)
Registered Dietician
Erin started her career as a Dietitian in Chronic Disease Management, providing one-on-one counselling and group education to people living with Diabetes. She has been in private practice since 2019 to allow her the flexibility to practice in a weight inclusive, non-diet environment. In 2022 Erin completed the training required and is now a Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor.
Weight is not a good indicator of health and Erin has whole-heartedly adopted this as one of her core values. Erin finds the best way to support her clients on their journey, is to meet them where they are at and walk alongside them. Both the client and practitioner have valuable information to bring to the table and changes can only be made in collaboration.
When not supporting clients at AWCED, Erin can usually be found curled up with a good book and a cup of coffee or camping with her wonderful partner and 2 amazing kids.
