    I highly recommend working with Lainey! She was incredibly positive, encouraging and knowledgeable. Her coaching led to great results. Not only did I transform physically but I transformed mentally. She helped change my lifestyle without a strict diet mentality and harsh guidelines. She was so fantastic to work with!!

    I highly recommend Lainey! I'm so glad I found her as my RD. She's very supportive and has fun and delicious ideas. I used to obsess about my food choices, but Lainey's helped me have a more holistic view of eating. I follow my natural hunger cues and I'm trusting myself and feeling great! My primary objective was to lose weight, but with Lainey I'm getting an even healthier viewpoint.

    I cannot say enough good things about Lainey! She's warm, knowledgeable, realistic, and always accessible. I worked with Lainey one-on-one for about a year with live sessions and through the Rise app in between meetings. ... If you're looking for a nutritionist or dietitian in Boston and you want to make sure your results last long after your sessions are over, you need Lainey.

    Lainey is the absolute best! I have a very sensitive stomach but I LOVE food! She had tons of healthy recipes to share with me and new things to try. I also stopped drinking milk and red meat in the past couple years and she knew exactly what I needed to eat in order to make up for that. Lainey is personable, educated, and nonjudgemental. Do not wait any longer to meet with Lainey because a change in your diet could be the best change you make for yourself!

The teens have do have health knowledge; however, some of that knowledge is tainted wit...
