My Practice — Hannah Kirtley, RD

My Practice

Approach

I help clients of all ages and stages see that “all foods can fit” — even as we work to manage weight, improve heart health, reduce diabetes risk, and so much more. My heart holds a special place for family nutrition: pregnancy, postpartum, infancy, toddlerhood, and childhood. I love helping families get a healthy start. I follow research-based nutrition practices and apply my creativity, too. I offer "straightforward" tips and equip clients to eat healthfully on any budget.

My Background

My heart holds a special place for family nutrition: pregnancy, postpartum, infancy, toddlerhood, and childhood. As a mom of two, I understand how each stage holds unique challenges. My passion is to journey alongside families, teaching simple habit changes that can transform health and give a healthy start to all.

Aside from family nutrition, I love counseling every age and stage, teaching how “all foods can fit” – even as we work to manage weight, improve heart health, reduce diabetes risk, and more. I enjoy communicating that nutrition can be simple and fit every budget. My sessions also include counseling on beginning exercise because I believe it holds an important role in a healthy lifestyle.

As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist in Nebraska, I am a Licensed Medical Nutrition Therapist. I achieved my Master of Medical Nutrition Degree at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. My primary experience has been in public health as a WIC dietitian and certified lactation counselor. I also work at my local YMCA as a group fitness instructor, weight loss program facilitator, and dietitian.

As a dietitian, I believe that nutrition is a science, and I hope to help my clients discern fact from fiction. My approach is to follow simple, research-based nutrition practices to improve my clients’ lives and health. Clients drive my work, as their concerns and goals drive our conversations. I love to sprinkle in creativity as I work with clients to personalize their nutrition plans, sharing recipes and more. I am responsive via messaging in between appointments, as I truly enjoy helping my clients find success.

Nutrition and exercise are my hobbies-turned-career, and I love to share my expertise with clients. It is a privilege to serve my community as a dietitian and I would love to meet with you!
