nourishED Dietitian Nutritionists

I’m Melanie Beers, the lead dietitian and director of the NourishED program. I have years of experience working with individuals struggling with eating disorders of all types, disordered eating, body image issues, and sports nutrition.

I use a non-diet, intuitive eating, mindfulness and Health At Every Size approach. I help athletes to optimize performance and fuel their bodies healthfully.

Whether this is your first step on your road to recovery, or if you are stepping down from an eating disorder treatment facility, I am happy to discuss how I can help on your recovery journey.

Katrina’s Bio:
Katrina is a Registered Dietitian and Licensed Nutritionist with a strong background in both nutrition and exercise physiology. She uses a weight-inclusive, non-diet approach, focusing on intuitive eating and movement with clients of all ages and sizes.

Her clients include those with eating disorders and disordered eating, as well as adults who want a Health At Every Size (HAES) approach to improving their relationship with food and overall well being. This involves rejecting external dieting and weight loss rules, and instead, tuning in to our own body’s cues for what it needs, whether it’s a certain food or a physical movement. Together, she works with her clients to develop a practice of trusting and respecting their own body, regardless of weight, with kindness, gentle nutrition, and joyful movement.

At each session, Katrina strives to provide a non-judgemental and safe space that encourages her clients to be curious as she joins with them on their journey to healing, recovery, and lasting physical and mental health. Katrina also uses these approaches to help athletes reach their performance goals.

When she is not working at Nourish, you will find Katrina either at the gym lifting weights or practicing yoga, or cooking up tasty meals for her family of five. Her favorite foods are pizza and fried cauliflower.

I’m Rebecca Rhine. I work with adults and adolescents who struggle with disordered eating, eating disorders of every type and body image issues. I also work with athletes on sports nutrition.

Rebecca’s Bio:
Rebecca is a Registered dietitian and has been a certified diabetes educator since 2012. Rebecca has most recently worked closely on an inpatient level with eating disorders

including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, as well as unspecified eating disorders. She sees clients of all ages for disordered eating as part of our nourishED program. She enjoys working with all ages, and specifically the adolescent population.

Rebecca believes in a non diet approach, as well as health at every size. She feels it is important to question traditional “diet culture” and learn what works for you, and she is ready to help you along that journey. No matter where someone is along that journey, they deserve treatment. She is passionate about clients learning to have a healthy relationship with food, as well as a healthy relationship with physical activity.

Rebecca also has experience working with clients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes; including modifying eating habits, importance of physical activity, insulin injections and titration, as well as glucose monitoring. Rebecca has provided education within group and classroom settings, as well as one on one.

While Rebecca is not at Nourish, you can find her spending time with her family, being outdoors, or trying out some new recipes. Like most dietitians, Rebecca loves food and the joy it can create. She also has a passion for running and traveling with friends and family to races throughout the Northeast!
