Dana Notte, MS, RD, CD, CEDS-C
Registered Dietitian & Practice Owner
Dana is an experienced non-diet dietitian, Certified Eating Disorder Specialist, and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor who is passionate about helping people cultivate a balanced, peaceful, and healthful relationship to food and body. She specializes in working with young adults and adults seeking support to heal from chronic dieting, disordered eating, and eating disorders.
In our weight and diet obsessed culture it can be hard to cut through all the noise and figure out how to nourish our bodies in a way that is truly health supportive. Dana works with you to do just that. Together you’ll explore the roots of your eating behavior and relationship to food, begin to understand your unique challenges and barriers to change, and create an individualized plan for moving you forward on your journey to better health and well-being.
Dana’s practice philosophy is informed by principles of weight inclusivity, Health at Every Size®, and mindful and intuitive eating. Her practice style is compassionate, encouraging, and collaborative. She believes that all bodies deserve nourishment and by helping her clients shift their focus from weight to well-being, she helps them reconnect to their internal wisdom, rebuild trust in themselves, and reclaim authority over their food decisions.
In addition to private practice, she has also taught at the University of Vermont in the Nutrition and Food Sciences Department, presents at professional conferences and trainings on topics related to embracing a non-diet approach to care, mindful eating, binge eating disorder, and weight stigma, and has previously served on the Board of Directors for The Center for Mindful Eating. Recognized as an expert in the field, Dana has been quoted in Time, Health, EatingWell, and Reader’s Digest.
Outside of her professional work, you can find Dana in her kitchen experimenting with new ingredients and creating new recipes, with her nose in a Lonely Planet book planning her next international adventure, enjoying all that the outdoors in Vermont has to offer, or snuggling a sweet foster pet as a volunteer for a local animal rescue.
“Dana is a skilled, empathetic, knowledgeable clinician. Her ability to hone in on a client’s needs and be able to directly address them thoroughly is powerful. Her skills far surpass that of a traditional dietitian, offering compassionate counsel, meeting clients where they are at and helping them make positive progress towards their goals.”

Molly Root, MS, RD, CD
Registered Dietitian
Molly is a registered dietitian who brings a non-diet, weight-inclusive approach to her nutrition counseling. One of Molly’s favorite aspects of her job is empowering others to heal their relationship with food and their bodies, and she believes practicing self-compassion is an important part of this work. Molly’s practice is informed by Health at Every Size (HAES®) and intuitive eating, and through this lens she works to help others move towards a more neutral and health-supportive approach to food, nutrition, and body image.
In addition to private practice, since 2019 Molly has been working with clients struggling with eating disorders at the partial hospitalization and intensive outpatient levels of care. This experience informs Molly’s practice in the outpatient setting when working with clients who have a history of, or are currently struggling with, an eating disorder or disordered eating behaviors.
Molly completed her undergraduate degree and coordinated dietetics internship and master’s program at the University of Vermont. When Molly isn’t working, she enjoys frequenting local restaurants and coffee shops, seeing her favorite musicians live, getting outdoors, and attending to her many house plants.
