About Hannah Allen
About Hannah Allen, PhD, RDN, LDN
Preferred Pronouns: She/Her
Dr. Hannah Allen is a Registered and Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist who has a B.S. and Ph.D. in nutritional sciences from the University of Florida. Her specialty is in working with those with eating and body image issues, including those with eating disorders. Hannah's focus is to help clients feel better about themselves and their lives by helping them heal eating issues and improve body image. With these changes, her clients find taking care of themselves and eating healthfully much easier to do.
She has over 10 years of experience practicing medical nutrition therapy in a clinical research setting where she spent much of her time helping children with epilepsy. During this time she specialized in using food as medicine for children who did not respond to traditional treatment.
She became interested in alternative approaches to eating and weight when what she had learned in college was just not working and she realized that regimented eating practices are not sustainable and cause feelings of failure.
Her search for an approach that works brought her to intuitive eating. She saw how clients no longer felt controlled by food, and are able to achieve a sense of peace around food and weight, and was hooked. Since 2017, she has dedicated her on-going training to intuitive eating, treatment of disordered eating and eating disorders, and Health At Every Size (HAES).
She also is focused on the psychology of eating, and to enhance her work with clients, is trained in the Enneagram personality typing system.
Dr. Hannah is passionate about helping clients tune in to their internal signals and embrace the intuitive eater within, as well helping clients embrace body positivity and body acceptance. She works with clients of all ages, and especially loves working with teens, as well as LGBTQ and neurodivergent populations.
She is a member of the American Nutrition and Dietetic Association, American Academy of Nutrition, and the American Society of Enteral and Parenteral Nutrition.
