Jacklyn Roberts, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist in Ottawa, Ontario, standing in front of blossoms, smiling.

Hi! I’m Jacklyn. I’m a registered dietitian in Ottawa, Ontario and really really really love to talk to people.

I got my dietetics degree from McGill University, then moved back to Ottawa and started practicing in 2018. I have been seeing clients in individual and group settings since that time and began my private practice in 2024. I feel deeply lucky that I found my passion for working with people living with eating disorders and disordered eating early on in my career.

When I’m not busy having heart-to-hearts about food, you might find me playing with my beloved toddler, visiting as many coffee shops as possible, or out walking somewhere beautiful with a podcast.

A few of my core beliefs about nutrition, bodies, and eating disorders

  • Opening up to someone about your relationship with food or eating disorder can be one of the most vulnerable, difficult experiences imaginable  

  • No one asks for, or causes, their relationship with food to be complicated

  • A person’s eating disorder serves an important purpose in their life - AND everyone deserves to experience a life where eating feels more peaceful

  • I cannot deduce anything about you, your lifestyle, your eating habits, the severity of your eating disorder, or your health based on your body shape or size

A bit about my practice philosophy:

My practice is built on the principles of Health At Every Size® and Intuitive Eating. In the same way that my clients are often doing the very hard work of unlearning deeply-engrained beliefs, I am continually doing my best to understand the origins and repercussions of anti-fatness and diet culture in hopes of disentangling it from my work as much as possible.
