Hi, McKel here!

As a mindfulness-based Dietitian, I've worked with thousands of women for over a decade who went from feeling out of control with food to feeling fully confident and empowered by their food choices.

That's why I created the Mindful Nutrition Method™ — my signature program where clients find balance with food, for life.

It is possible for you to overcome these same struggles and create balanced eating habits! You deserve to be free from food and diet obsession, maintain a balanced weight, cultivate a positive relationship with food and your body, and enjoy food fully without guilt.

I'd be honored to help you get there.

— McKel Hill Kooienga, MS RDN LDN Founder of Nutrition Stripped and the Mindful Nutrition Method™

“Food was the enemy I fought most of my life. Now Food is my friend and ally. I am free finally of dieting. I enjoy food again.” — Karen C.
“Before I was constantly swinging from all in to all out, consumed with food guilt and frustration that I was stuck. Now I feel I understand my body better, and that I have better tools to determine what I need while still enjoying food. It's life changing, no joke! It's a perfect blend of habit change and compassion building to truly find your balance and enjoy life.” — Sara L.
“Before MNM, I was at war with my body and food. Now, I am working with my body and happy to have food as a tool for nourishment and enjoyment instead of the enemy.” — Autumn T.
“Before this MNM course I was completely chaotic in my food choices. I am still not perfect but McKel helped me remember that it’s actually not about perfection at all. It’s about knowing what right for my own body and my life. Thank you thank you thank you!” — Alissa W.
“There is no one-size-fits-all to health. Having someone guide me as I figure out what works for ME has been invaluable." - Alyssa
“I was feeling overwhelmed about food and the best way to nourish myself, a bit stuck and worn out with it all, now I feel much clearer, calmer and at ease around food and I’m much more in tune with what works for me. There are so many diet programs out there but this is totally different, it delves so much deeper and helps you to take the time to really reflect on what is right for you as an individual and gives you so many tools to help.” — Emma S.
