Hi there! I’m Kaylee, one of the dietitians here at Synergy Health and Wellness, and I’m so glad our paths have crossed!
My passion lies in all things nutrition and wellbeing related, which is just one of the many reasons I’m so happy to be part of the Synergy team here in Bend, Oregon. I provide nutrition therapy services regarding eating disorder recovery and medical nutrition therapy (i.e. exploration of eating patterns beneficial to health conditions such as heart disease, kidney failure, diabetes, gut health, etc.).
The nutrition philosophy I follow can be summed up in one sentence: It’s ok to eat. Health conditions, social determinants, and a diet-centered culture can make nourishing ourselves difficult to navigate. Through understanding how each of these things impact how we nourish ourselves, we can begin to identify what our individual bodies may require and how best to address those needs. I enjoy supporting clients in their individual journeys toward pinpointing these things, and ultimately optimizing the relationship they have with their body and food.
Beginning my career as a dietitian, I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from Oregon State University in 2020. From here, I went on to complete a 10.5 month dietetic internship with Medical City Healthcare in Dallas, Texas. Both of these experiences expanded my nutrition related knowledge while simultaneously strengthening my desire to help others build healthful relationships with food. I look forward to continuing to learn in this field as it’s always evolving, and how I can best support others in their health and wellbeing journeys!
Outside of the office I can be found turning pages of a sci-fi/fantasy novel, traveling, or hiking in search of waterfalls!
