Meet The Team

Taryn Pospisil MS, RD (she/her)

Registered Dietitian

I am a master's-level dietitian with specialized expertise in gastrointestinal disorders, substance abuse, women's health, and eating disorder treatment. As an individual living in a larger body with a late diagnosis of PCOS, I personally understand the challenges of not fitting society's narrow ideals of body standards. I've navigated the complexities of advocating for my health in various medical settings, and I know how frustrating it can be! This lived experience fuels my passion for providing inclusive and comprehensive care to all individuals, regardless of size, gender, sexual orientation, or ethnicity.

From an early age, many of us are exposed to the pervasive influence of diet culture—whether it's from our immediate environment or the media. The constant barrage of new diets, quick fixes, and "magic pills" can feel overwhelming and disheartening. It's easy to become lost in a sea of conflicting information and wonder, "What should I believe when there's so much uncertainty online?". The fear and anxiety surrounding certain foods, often fueled by sensationalized media headlines, can leave us second-guessing our choices. If you've ever experienced fear, anxiety, or shame around food, know that you are not alone. I am here to guide you through the overwhelming landscape of media misinformation and help you rebuild a positive, sustainable relationship with food and your body, grounded in an anti-diet, Health at Every Size (HAES) approach.

On a lighter note, I proudly identify as an “elder emo/goth,” and you’ll almost always find me in all black or experimenting with new makeup styles (I've even dabbled in special effects makeup!). I find joy in gardening, traveling, attending concerts, and painting. While I’m a die-hard metal fan (you’ll likely spot a few band references in my tattoos), I’m always up for attending any show, no matter the genre. I’m constantly planning my next adventure—my ultimate escapade is to trek the Himalayan Mountains and explore the world’s tallest peaks (don't worry, I won’t be summiting Mount Everest or visiting any “death zones”—where there’s not enough oxygen for humans). And of course, you’ll likely meet my two cats, Pork and Beans, who love to make appearances—especially Beans, who’s always ready to be the center of attention!

Hannah Gassman, RD, CD (she/they)

Registered Dietitian

I am a registered dietitian with specialized experience in the treatment of eating disorders. I practice through an anti-diet, Health at Every Size lens. I work with ages 13+ providing virtual nutrition counseling.

I believe dieting disconnects us from our bodies' innate wisdom. Diet culture has an extensive history with deep roots in oppression which has both impacted healthcare systems and instilled a great deal of anxiety and shame into our understanding of health, weight, and nutrition. While dieting and weight loss pursuits are super common, they are also the greatest risk factor for developing an eating disorder.

If you experience stress, guilt, or anxiety about food, you are not alone- and you don't need to keep suffering! I'm here to help you discover a more peaceful relationship with food, body image, and movement.

I am passionate about helping all individuals to think more critically about diet rhetoric, and I am dedicated to hearing your lived experience with compassion and non-judgment. Let's collaborate and find a plan that best meets your individual needs and goals.

When I'm not working, I regularly adventure to the mountains. I love bikepacking, backpacking, gardening, searching for cool rocks- anything that gets me outside. When I need to take shelter, I pass the time by practicing yoga, puzzling, and making cute candles.

Abbey Roberts, MS, RD, CD (she/her)

Owner and Registered Dietitian

I am a master's level registered dietitian and exercise physiologist with a background in clinical nutrition therapy. I'm also neurodivergent (late diagnosed ADHD) and love my other neurodivergent clients and their cool brains!

I specialize in size-inclusive nutrition therapy for disordered eating and eating disorders. I am also passionate about intuitive eating, digestive issues, and sports nutrition. I work with ages 13+.

Let's be less serious: In my free time I find joy in reading thriller novels (I really liked The Silent Patient), taking care of my plants (even though I typically forget to water them), coffee (love a good vanilla latte), watching reality dating shows (because duh), exploring all the fun restaurants Seattle has to offer (too many to name), and cuddling with my two cats, Griff and Ralph (pictures upon request:)). 

Disclosure: I am aware of my privileges as a white, cis-gendered, straight-sized, and able-bodied person. I understand allyship is an ongoing and lifelong process that requires continuous work. I engage in analysis, education, and action on anti-racism and anti-fat bias to challenge my own internal biases, creating a space where all feel safe and heard.
