Virtual Non-diet Nutrition Counseling in Virginia
My work is grounded in a non-diet, weight-inclusive approach. I support adults navigating eating disorders, chronic dieting, body image concerns, and complicated relationships with food. Together, we focus on nourishment, attunement, and building trust with your body at a pace that feels sustainable and respectful.
Whether you are in Richmond, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Arlington, Alexandria, Charlottesville, Roanoke, or a smaller rural or suburban community, care is available to you wherever you are in Virginia.
All sessions are provided through secure telehealth, making it possible to access thoughtful, compassionate care without the stress of travel or rigid clinical environments.

WHO YOU’LL BE SITTING WITH
Hi, I’m Alison
I’m Alison Swiggard, MS, RDN, LD, a non-diet registered dietitian and eating disorder dietitian. I believe nutrition counseling should feel like a place where you can exhale.
I especially love supporting adults who feel like traditional nutrition advice has never quite fit, including people navigating eating disorder recovery, disordered eating, body image distress, ADHD, anxiety around food, chronic dieting, or a long history of feeling “too much” or “not enough” in their bodies.
