Chelsea Martin Straight MS, RD, LD, CEDRD-S

Chelsea earned her Bachelors degree from the University of Wisconsin- Madison.  She went on to complete her Dietetic Internship at Saint Louis University.  Chelsea was trained as an Eating Disorder Dietitian at a local ED treatment center where she focused on treating clients from a Health At Every Size and Anti-Diet approach. She went on to complete her Masters degree at the University of Wisconsin- Madison. 

Chelsea is highly trained in treating clients struggling with Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating.  Throughout her decade of working in the field, Chelsea has been awarded the CEDRD-S, distinguishing her as an expert in the field and offering supervision to those Dietitians wanting to learn.  Chelsea uses a variety of approaches to help clients heal their relationships with food, body and exercise. Chelsea's training in Motivational Interviewing and Internal Family Systems allows her to help clients create true behavioral shifts and new beliefs around food, body and exercise.  

Chelsea has completed her Phase 1 training as an Embodied Recovery clinician.  Embodied Recovery is an approach that helps clients begin to see how their body is a tool and resource in their recovery process rather than something to fight against.  She has also completed her Beginner Level training in Somatic Experiencing.  These approaches allow Chelsea to help clients heal and connect to their bodies as they heal their relationship with food.  These techniques are highly valuable for clients that have experienced trauma, as they invite the client to begin to feel safe within their body and find value in taking care of themselves nutritionally.  

Intuitive Eating and Health At Every Size apply to all medical diagnosis.  Clients do not have to have an active eating disorder to meet with Chelsea.  If you are struggling with Gestational Diabetes, Celiac Disease, Diabetes, or Cardiovascular disease.  We do not support Intentional Weight Loss.  We believe that Health is based on more than the size of your clothes or the number on the scale.  Chelsea focuses on helping clients find health by assessing all areas of their health including mental, emotional, physical and social.
