Johanna is phenomenal; both as a person and as a nutritionist. I came to her unsure of what I needed exactly, all I knew then is I really wanted help. Having PCOS & dealing with postpartum, she was the best person I could have found. If you want to have a life long shift with your relationship to food, health, nutrition, and your body then get in contact with Johanna. There is no 90 day meal plan, there is no goal for your scale to reach, this is real *actual health and well-being*. Ive been with her for 6 months and the change in me has been drastic. Her effect on my life has been extremely

I'm super grateful for having worked with Johanna. I started using intuitive eating for about 6 months before I reached out to her. I had read the book and completed a lot of the workbook but I felt like I was really struggling with the balance I had hit (might have done a bit of a 180 from trying not to eat "junk food" to deciding that anything that might have been delicious but also diet friendly was off the table). Our sessions really helped me see these patterns, find some balance, and get to a place where no foods were off limits.

I cannot put into words how much Johanna helped me through my nutrition journey. I started seeing Johanna over a year ago, and the amount of changes and improvements throughout those months have been incredible. She pays great attention to detail and is eager to help with your individual needs. She's not only a great nutritionist, she's also one of the kindest people I've ever met. I'm truly thankful to Johanna for all the coaching and help that she has provided. I recommend her 100%.

I had an IBS flair up at the beginning of quarantine and put myself on the FODMAP diet. Problem was, I didn't know how to get myself off of it. Johanna walked me through re-introducing foods and provided me with sound, evidence-based information along the way.

Johanna is so incredibly sweet, talented, and educated. Shes very trauma informed and I can just tell she treats everyone individually from a strengths based approach! She makes things seem normal instead of abnormal. 10/10 would recommend everyone to see her

Johanna Richter has been a huge help with my relationship with food and my body. I have been seeing her for less than one year and I have grown so much! I look back on how life was for me before seeing her, and I can see how much she has helped coach me through some really difficult stuff. I recommend Johanna to everyone! I cannot say enough about how much she has done for me.
