Professional statement

Mackenzie Blair is a registered dietitian based in East Providence, Rhode Island. Her mission is to empower individuals on their journey towards an improved relationship with food and overall well being. Frequently, individuals under Mackenzie's care encounter inner conflicts when it comes to nurturing themselves through food. This dilemma may stem from a past marked by disordered thoughts and beliefs surrounding food and body image, the introduction of a new medical condition affecting their eating habits, or a blend of these factors. Mackenzie employs her expertise in medical nutrition therapy, drawing insights from the latest research on weight, diet, body image, and overall health to guide and shape her practice.

Mackenzie counsels with an inclusive and curious lens drawing from intuitive eating principles, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and a Health at Every Size (HAES) perspective. Using a weight-neutral lens, Mackenzie helps her clients learn to feed and take care of their bodies with respect. She strives to create a supportive environment that allows clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and habits around food, and how this may be affecting them day to day. Her goal is to help clients develop a mindful and intuitive connection with their bodies, promote self-acceptance, and establish sustainable habits for long-term well-being.
