Meet Laura

(She/Her)

Hi, My name is Laura Bradfield. I am a non-diet focused registered dietitian practicing from an Intuitive Eating and Health At Every Size (HAES) approach.

In sessions, I focus on sustainable and health promoting behaviors rather than weight changes. I passionately believe that it is possible to honor our body’s needs and practice compassionate self-care. My goal is to meet you where you are at now in your food and body journey and help you discover and cultivate a relationship that is compassionate, nourishing, pleasurable, adventurous, and satisfying.

I have a diverse background working with clients in mental/behavioral health, sports nutrition, disordered eating and eating disorders. I utilize skills and techniques including active listening, motivational interviewing, and acceptance and commitment therapy to help you live a more nourishing and joyful life.

I reside in St. Louis MO and only see clients over video. I am in network with certain commercial insurance plans including UHC, UMR, Cigna, Aetna, BCBS, and Humana. If your insurance is not one that I accept, I can provide you with a superbill for you to submit for reimbursement. For more information, please visit our Rates & Insurance page.

Laura’s Nutrition Philosophy

All foods can fit into a healthy diet, it’s the balance of meeting nutritional, social, emotional, and physical needs that make up a healthful lifestyle…and this does not need to be difficult.
