About me:
Hi, I'm Nick Hamdi (they/he) - I'm a fat/fat-positive, queer and nonbinary, and neurodivergent dietitian based in Rhode Island.
I enjoy working with clients across the lifespan to redefine and understand their health, connect with their bodies, and find enjoyment and balance in the ways that they eat and live.
I leverage my lived experience to really connect and advocate for my clients, and especially love working with LGBTQIA+ and neurodiverse folx using a size-affirming lens.
