Natalie Beattie, RDN, LD
Hi! I’m Natalie Beattie, Registered Dietitian. I recently moved from the sunny shores of Southern California to the snowy mountains of the Reno/Tahoe area. I am excited to be providing telehealth care as part of the Synergy nutrition team.
Philosophy:
I believe that you are the expert of your body. I like to come alongside clients and support them in tuning into their bodies: from hunger cues to cravings and everything in between. From gentle nutrition guidance to Intuitive Eating education, I love supporting clients in healing their relationship with food from a HAES® perspective. I hope to leave clients feeling empowered in their ability to nourish themselves.
As I specialize in working with eating disorders, I love helping clients: overcome feared foods, gain knowledge and tools to nourish their body more consistently, feel more at peace with eating, decrease compensatory and binge behaviors, and improve their body image. I am so proud of my clients and the bravery they show as they fight their eating disorders!
I also love supporting clients with a wide variety of disease states through medical nutrition therapy, those who feel that diets have failed them and aren’t sure what to do next, and those just looking to improve their overall health and relationship to food.
Education & Background:
I started my journey earning an Associate’s in Psychology at San Diego Mesa Community College. I then combined my interest in mental health, science, and food by pursuing my Bachelor’ in Foods and Nutrition with a minor in Social & Personality Psychology at San Diego State University. I then moved to Memphis, Tennessee and had the opportunity to complete my dietetic internship serving those who have served at the VA hospital, in addition to a variety of other rotations and clinics around town.
After becoming a Registered Dietitian, I worked at an eating disorder treatment center in Southern California for several years supporting patients at the residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient levels of care.
When I’m not with clients, some of my favorite things to do include: walks in nature with my dog and husband, playing games with friends, and trying new restaurants.
