Allison ~ 17 weeks pregnant
I’m Allison Hesberg, a registered dietitian specializing in grief informed, functional nutrition care. After experiencing three pregnancy losses, the death of my father at age 28, and recovery from an eating disorder, I realized how few spaces exist for others to feel supported — not just emotionally, but physically — during times of profound change.
My practice was born from that need: to help others restore their hormonal and metabolic health after loss or life transitions, and to feel safe and whole in their bodies again. I use a blend of functional nutrition, therapeutic rituals, and emotionally attuned support to guide men and women through their healing process and life transitions.
Whether you’re navigating a miscarriage, the loss of a loved one, or a shift in identity that’s left you feeling unmoored — you deserve care that honors both your biochemistry and your lived experience. That’s what I’m here for.
If parts of my story resonate with you, I’d be honored to support you.
