Fun night out in Portland with our Portland Team. Celebrating Kayci before she leaves on Maternity leave, meeting our new team member Tessa. A little friendly competition of miniature gollf birdietimepubpdx . (Sorry Andrea, I didn’t realize I was blocking you in this pic 😬). Wishing Kayci a happy maternity leave for baby bonding, we will be happy to have you back.

✨ This week marks 10 years since I officially stepped into private practice as a dietitian. What started back in 2015 as a solo practice (right after my oldest started kindergarten—she’s now 16! 😳) has grown into something far bigger than I ever imagined.
For the first several years, it was just me learning the ropes of being an entrepreneur. In 2020, I welcomed my first team members, and today we’re a group of 9 incredible dietitians, 2 rockstar admins, and a biller I couldn’t do without. 💚
This past year especially has been full of growth—publishing my children’s book, opening our Tualatin office (now 4 locations!), and welcoming new team members. Most importantly, I’m so proud of how our team supports families in raising confident eaters and walks alongside clients in eating disorder recovery.
I’m filled with gratitude for every step of this journey and the community we’ve built. Here’s to the next chapter. 💫

🌟 Meet Lori Brizee, MS, RDN, CDCES 🌟
We’re thrilled to welcome Lori to the NW Pediatric & Family Nutrition team! With over 40 years of experience in pediatric and family nutrition, Lori brings a wealth of expertise and a passion for supporting children and families.

Lori’s career has spanned public health, pediatric hospitals, and private practice. She has worked extensively with children and teens with special healthcare needs, diabetes, and eating disorders—including ARFID, Anorexia, Bulimia, and Binge Eating Disorder. She is also the author of Healthy Choices, Healthy Children, a practical guide to raising fit, happy kids without the pressure to be perfect.

Her philosophy? The “how” of eating is just as important as the “what.” Lori helps families create mindful mealtime habits and a positive relationship with food.

📍 Lori is now accepting new clients in our Bend office for in-person appointments and virtually throughout Oregon and Washington.

We’re grateful to have Lori on the team!

📦 They’re here!! My books have officially arrived and I’m now shipping them out! 🎉📚

I’m so excited to share that my children’s book, Maeve the Junior Food Scientist: From Yuck to Yum, is now officially in print and ready to be in your hands!

This has been a true passion project — inspired by my experience working with picky eaters, raising my own children, and realizing there weren’t many books out there that approached food in a fun and neutral way.

So… I wrote one! 💛

Maeve the Junior Food Scientist encourages children to explore food using their senses — with curiosity, not pressure. It’s all about bringing science to the table and helping kids feel empowered to try new things in a low-stress, no-shame way.

If you have a child in your life between the ages of 5 and 8, they’re the perfect age to enjoy this book — especially with the Junior Food Scientist Worksheet included inside!

📬 You can grab your copy here: https://keap.page/xdk857/maeve-the-jr-food-scientist.html

I’m so grateful for the support already — and I can’t wait to hear what your little ones think of it! 🧪🍓
Thank you for being part of this journey with me!

✨ Meet Shelby Hazel, RDN, LD—-Our Newest Dietitian! ✨

We’re thrilled to welcome Shelby Hazel to our team at NW Pediatric & Family Nutrition!

Shelby brings a compassionate and inclusive approach to nutrition care. She specializes in supporting teens and adults recovering from eating disorders, as well as kids over 10 navigating ADHD, picky eating, and high BMI concerns. She also works with clients managing chronic health conditions like diabetes, cardiovascular issues, and GI disorders – all through a weight-neutral, non-restrictive lens.

With three years of experience as a dietitian, Shelby began her career in a group practice alongside eating disorder therapists and recently spent two years in primary care, helping clients of all ages with a wide range of nutrition needs.

When she’s not working, you can find Shelby reading, drawing, or playing cozy video games with her two pet birds 🐦. And in true Portland fashion, she loves to bike around town and soak up the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

Please help us give Shelby a warm welcome! 💚

Team picnic vibes! ☀️
I was so excited to bring our growing team together this past weekend for a summer family picnic at a Portland park. For the first time, we invited partners and kids to join—and it was such a joy to connect beyond our work lives and meet each other’s families.

We try to gather in person at least twice a year, and this one was extra special. We took the opportunity to snap a fresh team photo (swipe to see!)—including several new faces!

💫 Kayci will soon be heading out on maternity leave in September.
👋 Shelby just started with us this week—more on her soon!
🤝 And I finally got to meet our newest admin assistant, Sara Thomas, in person!

Grateful for this dedicated, compassionate, and talented team of dietitians and admin support. These ladies make it all happen—and I couldn’t be more thankful. 💚

Wishing all the Fathers, Dads, Grandads, Step-Dads, Expectant Dads, and Hopeful Dads a Happy Father’s Day!⁠

Maeve the Junior Food Scientist: From Yuck to Yum! has been a true passion project — inspired by my youngest daughter Maeve when she was just 6 (she’s now 11!).
⠀
As a pediatric dietitian, I wanted to write a story that helps kids feel curious and confident around food — not shamed or pressured. A book where they become the scientist, using their senses to explore food in a fun, no-pressure way.
⠀
My hope is that kids everywhere will feel empowered to try something new — and maybe even start singing the jinglefrom the book as they do:
🎶
Smell it! Touch it! Taste it!
I use my senses to explore
Trying foods is fun!
Can I have some more?
🎶
⠀
Parents — this book is for you too. I hope it offers a gentle approach to mealtimes, especially if you’re supporting a picky eater.
⠀
PLUS: The book includes a free Junior Food Scientist Worksheet (via QR code) so your child can keep exploring at home!
⠀
📚 Pre-order now and let’s spark curiosity — one bite at a time. Link in bio! Expected book arrival in August. Thank you for this fun photo of Maeve. Thank you .arts for your illustrations that brought life to this vision.
