Your relationship with food and your body should be supportive, not stressful.

No food rules.
No prescribed weight loss.
No one-size-fits-all plans.

Hi! We’re Kathy Kimbrough and Corey Romeo. We are an Austin-based nutrition therapy practice built on one core belief: that your relationship with food should feel supportive, not stressful.

We are two registered dietitians who work from an anti-diet, weight-inclusive, Health At Every Size® framework which means no food rules, no prescribed weight loss, and no one-size-fits-all plans. Just collaborative, compassionate support that meets you where you are.

What makes this practice a little different, beyond the philosophy, is that creativity is part of the work. Kathy has long believed that process-based practices like art journaling can offer a surprising way into the harder conversations: the ones about perfectionism, self-criticism, and what it means to truly make peace with your body.

You don't need to be an artist. You just need to be open to a different kind of entry point.

Who is this for?

We work with women and women-identified folks of all ages who want to accept themselves and have a calmer relationship with food.

We love working with folks who want to ditch diet culture and come to a peaceful place with food and their body. We use low-pressure art-making as a way to challenge perfectionism and remind yourself that you’re a full human with a wide range of interests that aren’t just tracking macros or working out. You are so much more than that!

Trusted, knowledgeable resource

"Kathy was a trusted, knowledgeable resource who helped me understand what my test results meant in a grounded, non-sensationalized way. She looked at me as a holistic human, and she respected what my goals were for myself."
I felt safe & unjudged

“Kathy created a space where I felt safe, unjudged, and able to explore nutrition in a way that valued and honored my body as it was at the time. I was able to work on uncoupling the moral associations I had created with certain foods and start listening more to what my body needed.”
Freer in my relationship with food

“I am freer in my relationship with food, allowing myself to eat what I want without judgment (mostly) while ensuring that my body gets what it needs to be nourished.”
What I actually needed to learn

“She was able to take my goal of ‘stop worrying about my weight’ and change it to ‘develop a healthy relationship with food.’ Which is what I actually needed to learn.”
She always makes me feel heard

“Corey is particularly good about opening up the discussion to consider topics that are adjacent to diet, digestion, exercise, and wellness. This holistic approach makes our sessions so meaningful and help me make way more connections and discoveries. She always makes me feel heard no matter what I want to talk about.”
Integral part of my recovery

“Very positive! Would return in the future if needed. I feel like Kathy was an integral part of my recovery team.”

My philosophy

I believe a healthy relationship with food has more to do with what's happening in your head and heart than what's on your plate. I work from an anti-diet, all-foods-fit, Health At Every Size® framework and I see myself as a collaborator and guide, not an authority handing down rules. Together, we look at the food beliefs and behaviors that aren't serving you anymore, use science to separate facts from myths, and (often) bring a little creativity into the mix. All folks are welcome here.

My story

I grew up in Austin and didn't take a straight path to becoming a dietitian. For several years I worked as a licensed esthetician and when the salon eventually closed, I took it as a sign. I went back to school, drawn by a love of science and biology, and graduated from UT Austin with a degree in nutrition in 2008.

Like many people who end up in this field, my own relationship with food and my body was complicated. At the time, learning about nutrition felt like a way to gain control, something we don't talk about enough in dietetics, even though it's incredibly common. After years working in long-term care settings, I joined a group practice specializing in disordered eating, and two things became clear at once: I had found work that truly felt like home, and I had my own healing to do.

What does art & creativity have to do with body image?

For a long stretch of my adult life, I wasn't making art. I wasn't especially unhappy, just a little bored and disconnected. When I finally came back to it, I started simply: watercolors at my kitchen table, then art journaling. Something small, just for me.

What I found was that making art helped me feel more like myself. I also noticed how naturally it pushed back against perfectionism: there's no right outcome to control, no single way to do it right. (There's plenty of stuff I've made that I don't love, and that's fine.) This turns out to be a pretty useful thing to sit with when you're also trying to make peace with food and your body.

Over time, I started bringing that same energy into my work with clients. Many people are already doing thoughtful work around food and body, but still struggling with rigidity or self-criticism. Art offers another way in: gentle, flexible, and more accessible than it might seem. I offer workshops alongside individual sessions for exactly this reason.
