Sustainable, balanced, nutrition for life.

Virtual Nutrition Counseling with Virginia Everett MS, RDN, CD

Softly Nourished helps clients build a peaceful relationship with food through evidence-based nutrition care and education for eating disorder recovery, weight management, and overall wellness.

Who I work with

Clients I commonly support include:

  • Individuals recovering from eating disorders or disordered eating

  • Individuals wanting to improve their relationship with food and body image

  • People seeking balanced nutrition to support health, energy, and long-term wellbeing

If you feel stuck in cycles of restriction, overeating, or confusion around food, nutrition counseling can help create a more sustainable and supportive path forward.

About me

Hi, I’m Virginia Everett, Registered Dietitian and founder of Softly Nourished.

I work with adolescents and adults who want to feel calmer, stronger, and more confident in their relationship with food. My specialties include eating disorder recovery and sustainable weight management.

My approach is compassionate, practical, and grounded in real life. Nutrition shouldn’t feel overwhelming or restrictive, it should support your energy, health, and daily routines.

My background includes clinical, community, and private practice experience, and I earned my Master of Science in Dietetics through Eastern Michigan University’s coordinated program. Through my training and work, I’ve developed a deep respect for how complex food and body image can be, and how powerful supportive guidance can be.

Outside of work, I enjoy running, hiking, Pilates, cooking, traveling, and spending time with my family.

My goal is simple: to help you build steady, balanced nutrition habits that support long-term wellbeing.
