Registered Dietitian Position
About MEND
MEND is a nutrition counseling and physical therapy practice on the South Shore of Massachusetts offering weight-inclusive, identity-affirming care.
Our work involves supporting people navigating eating disorders, disordered eating, body image distress, and health concerns where weight loss is often treated as the default solution. Many of our clients come to us after feeling blamed, dismissed, or oversimplified in healthcare spaces.
At MEND, care is collaborative and grounded in lived experience. We strive to provide inclusive, identity-affirming support that respects gender diversity and neurodivergence. We work with clients to explore what actually supports their health and build care that aligns with their values.
