Hi! I’m Kristin Schaefer, a queer-friendly nutritionist. I’m a cisgender, nonbinary person with a deep passion for creating inclusive, affirming spaces within the health and wellness world. I have a Master’s degree in Integrative Health and Nutrition from the Maryland University of Integrative Health. I'm a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS), a Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist (LDN), and I am currently pursuing my PhD in Clinical Nutrition at Notre Dame if Maryland.

​

My work is rooted in challenging the binary narratives we see in the nutrition field. I specialize in hormone balance and gut health, and I particularly work with individuals navigating hormone therapy, those using nutrition and lifestyle interventions to obtain their desired body, and those preparing, going through, or recovering from gender-affirming surgery. Whether someone is beginning their journey or simply seeking to feel more at home in their body, I use nutrition and herbal support to ease side effects and guide people toward feeling aligned and more comfortable in their bodies.

​

Rather than promoting body-positivity, I advocate for body-neutrality with a goal of meeting ourselves where we are daily. My hope is to support each person in feeling nourished, empowered, and seen. I work on a sliding scale and with insurance companies. If you're interested in working together, please use the button below to sign up for a consultation!
