Francesca Marchiafava, MS, RD

Francesca brings extensive experience in eating disorder treatment from her work in residential settings as a Counselor and Dietetic Technician. She is deeply committed to a weight-inclusive Health At Every Size (HAES) model and champions Mindful Eating, “All Foods Fit,” and Intuitive Eating approaches. Francesca believes that food is not something to be feared or controlled but rather a way to celebrate culture and nourish the body. As an “anti-diet” dietitian, Francesca is passionate about body liberation, advocating for a life free from diet culture and restrictive food rules. She views her work as a journey of establishing safety, trust, and helping clients reconnect with their bodies. With a background in both Nutrition and Sociology, Francesca’s approach emphasizes the dignity of every person and the importance of living authentically. A North Shore native, she enjoys dance, swimming, volunteering, hiking, and spending time at the Lake with friends and family.
