Nutrition Counseling Services by Piper Kandt
Hello again, I'm Piper!
I’ve been a practicing dietitian for the past three years, starting my career in Division I athletics where I provided dietitian services to help student-athletes fuel for performance, recovery, and long-term health. That experience showed me just how powerful food can be in supporting both physical goals and overall well-being. Now, I’m passionate about helping people at every stage of life — whether you’re competing, managing a chronic condition, or simply wanting to feel better day to day.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me moving in some way. I love going for a run, teaching a fitness class, or spending time with my dogs. I also enjoy cooking and baking, and I am always looking for creative ways to make food both nourishing and enjoyable. I look forward to working with you!
I believe nutrition is so much more than just what’s on your plate. For me, it’s about building a relationship with food that feels sustainable, supportive, and flexible. I think it is so important to take the time to listen to and understand each client’s unique story so I can tailor my health education recommendations to feel realistic and personalized for them and their lifestyle. My goal is to provide you with accountability and guidance while also leaving room for joy, balance, and the bigger picture of health.
Can't wait to meet you soon!
