My Story
Kiersten Coates, MS, RD, LDN
Registered Dietitian Nutritionist & Herbalist Specialized in Women's Health
“I know what it’s like to feel dismissed & misunderstood by a system built for standardization, not personalization.”
Hi there, I’m Kiersten! I’m a deep listener, lifelong learner, and passionate advocate for women’s health.
If you’ve ever felt dismissed by doctors, lost in a maze of conflicting advice, or frustrated by feeling “not quite right” with no answers, you’re not alone. As a registered dietitian and herbalist on the Precision Women’s Care team, my mission is to be the guide & voice you never had. To be there for the women who’ve been caught in the frustrating cycles of unanswered symptoms and unclear guidance—women who are ready to stop settling for surface-level care and start uncovering true solutions. With my past background as a biologist and a lifetime of dedication to health as an athlete, I’ve always firmly believed in the body’s innate ability to self-heal. I know what it’s like to feel dismissed and misunderstood by a system built for standardization, not personalization. That experience became my turning point—and my motivation to be the kind of practitioner who empowers women to take control of their health.
I also love lacing up for a run, getting a little crafty, curling up with a good book, or spending time with my favorite people. From the outside, it probably looked like I had it all together. But despite all that, I faced the same ongoing struggle so many women know all too well. You show up seemingly “fine”, but things are far from fine underneath the surface. I understand the exhaustion of bouncing from specialist to specialist, the doubt that creeps in when you’re told “everything looks normal,” and the quiet voice wondering if this is just how it has to be.
That journey led me to pursue my MS in Professional Nutrition Practice, become a registered dietitian, and specialize in integrative nutrition and herbal medicine. Now, I enjoy in crafting personalized, sustainable care plans that combine the best of science and traditional wisdom—care that listens deeply, connects the dots, and walks beside you on your path to true healing.
Your body isn’t broken; it’s speaking. With curiosity and compassion, we’ll learn its language together.
Whether you’re navigating hormonal chaos, chronic fatigue, or an unshakable sense that something’s off, I’m here to help you get clear on what your body needs and take meaningful steps toward your health goals with confidence.
There is a way through this maze—and you don’t have to walk it alone. Your story deserves to be heard.
Let’s take that first step together.
