About Me
Colene Stoernell, MS, RDN, LD, is a registered dietitian with over 20 years of experience helping individuals and families build a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food. She specializes in eating disorders across the lifespan, including ARFID, as well as pediatric feeding challenges, sensory-based eating, and mealtime struggles. Colene is passionate about supporting neurodivergent children and their families, and brings a compassionate, weight-inclusive approach to every session.
Her practice is rooted in the principles of Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size®, while also providing evidence-based medical nutrition therapy. Colene believes that healing your relationship with food is just as important as understanding what your body needs—and she works alongside her clients to reduce shame, empower choice, and restore trust in eating.
Colene offers virtual nutrition therapy for infants, children, teens, and adults, and often partners with caregivers to reduce mealtime stress and support progress at home. In addition to her clinical work, she has taught nutrition at the college level and developed online programs for parents and professionals.
Whether you're seeking support for your child’s selective eating, looking for guidance in eating disorder recovery, or wanting to feel more at ease with food and your body, Colene brings warmth, clinical expertise, and real-life tools to help you move forward.
