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.

Most of Laura’s career has been spent working with individuals with eating disorders. She has worked at the intensive outpatient level of care in addition to the outpatient level.

She likes to bring puzzles and games into session and meets clients where they are in their recovery journey.
