ABOUT KAREN

Hello! I’m glad you’re here.

I’m Karen Schwartz (previously Neunzig). I’m a Registered Dietitian, Certified Eating Disorder Specialist (CEDS), and yoga teacher. I provide behavioral nutrition counseling to those struggling with eating disorders, depression, anxiety, OCD, chronic disease, neurodivergence, and more.

I practice using a weight-inclusive, non-diet approach. I focus on nutrient-dense foods to promote physical wellbeing while providing space for you to explore and improve your relationship with food, movement, and your body.

I welcome clients of all ages, genders, and backgrounds.

Testimonials

  • “Karen is such a powerhouse - she’s smart, kind, and has such amazing advice. I will always cherish the conversations we had.”

  • “Karen was fantastic! We needed to get creative to work with both my ED and several health conditions, but Karen was able to make that happen!”

  • “Upon disclosing that she too had been diagnosed with celiac disease, she filled me with comfort and hope, feelings I hadn't felt in the months after my recent diagnosis. In addition to being an incredibly skilled dietitian, she's like a genuine friend in that she cares deeply about you *and* calls you on your sh*t. Karen is real and honest and pragmatic, and I trusted her completely--even when my ED didn't want to.”
