About Us
I’m glad you’re here.
Who We Are and Who We Serve
I love my location in downtown Littleton, Colorado, serving the residents of Colorado and of select states in the US — please reach out for details if you are unsure about the licensing requirements of your state. I work primarily with adults 18+ of all genders and identities pursuing healing from eating disorders, disordered eating, and related food and body concerns. I strive to create a compassionate, open, inclusive, non-judgemental space.
I’m available to meet you in person in Denver and Littleton, Colorado and I also see clients in greater Colorado virtually.
Meet the Founder
Katie Barylski, RD
Hello! I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with the Commission on Dietetic Registration, and I happily live in Denver, Colorado. My true loves include mornings and mountains, music, love!, and traveling.
I have over ten years of experience as a dietitian working with adults with eating disorders & disordered eating in Denver. My approach is weight-inclusive and I often use the principles of intuitive eating in & throughout my work with clients.
I am committed to lifelong learning and unlearning and strive to create a space that feels safe for people of all backgrounds and identities.
I would be happy to talk with you more about your nutrition care needs to see if I would be a good fit to walk alongside you as your dietitian.

“Your relationship with food is one of your earliest and most meaningful relationships. It’s also a relationship you will have for the rest of your life. It might as well be the best relationship that it can be.”
Core Values
Guiding our business decisions and counseling practices
Love
The reason for it all! My hope is that this work will contribute to your capacity to experience more love in your life and carry more love into the world.
Justice
I hold justice a core value, knowing that fighting for equity & equality for all people will only benefit each and every one of us. I believe the opportunity to heal, and to access spaces in which it’s safe to explore and challenge biases and stigma, with an emphasis on those related to diet-and-weight in this context, will only support your ability to value and move closer to others in the world at large. I hold hope for a more compassionate, kind, and connected world.
Adventure
When possible, I love working with clients to create more space for fun, play, and adventure. The constant hustle to feel ‘good enough’ according to the values of our culture threatens to keep our worlds and focus small. Adventure can be a beautiful antidote to this mode of survival and create room for perspective, joy, discomfort, and growth.
