MEET OUR DIETITIANS
JORDAN OUELLETTE, MS, RDN, LD
I'm Jordan, a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist who's passionate about helping people heal their relationship with food, increase energy, and let go of the restrictions of dieting! In my free time you can find me biking, hiking, sipping wine or chilling outside with a book in hand. Food Freedom has meant spending more time doing things that bring me joy, instead of stressing about squeezing in a workout or the sugar in my ice cream. Changing my relationship to food has transformed my life, and I want to help you reach this same freedom too!
I'm originally from Akron, OH and have been living in what I now consider my home of Columbus, OH since August 2020. I completed my undergraduate at The College of Wooster in Integrative Physiology, my Master's in Food & Nutrition Science at Ohio University and my dietetic internship at The Ohio State University. I specialize in PCOS to help women balance their hormones, regain a regular cycle, or try to conceive. I have a Certification in PCOS Nutrition as well as a certification in Binge Eating Disorder from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
COLLEEN BAILEY,

Hey there! I'm Colleen, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and co-owner of Nutrition Empowered. I'm super passionate about all things Intuitive Eating, food freedom, joyful movement, and sustainable practices.

I'm originally from Buffalo, NY (go Bills), but moved to Ohio for school 7 years ago and never left. I went to John Carroll University in Cleveland, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology. I received my Master of Science in Nutrition from Case Western Reserve University, and found myself in Columbus where I completed my dietetic internship at The Ohio State University. After graduating, I worked as a Health Coach, where I helped clients with the nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress managements, pre- and post-natal health, and became a Certified Tobacco Treatment Specialist.
HOW WE MET
You may have noticed that our histories only started to align during our internship at THE Ohio State University. We were complete strangers until we moved into our 3-bedroom apartment, in the middle of the pandemic, and one week before the start of our internship. As intimidating as it was to move in with people we'd never met before, this feeling faded quickly as we realized our mutual love for cooking, joyful movement, and intuitive eating. Strangers soon turned roomies, roomies soon became great friends, and great friends morphed into business partners.
​
We both had dreams of one day opening our own practice, and because of our common passions and values, we decided to start one together. A couple months later, and Nutrition Empowered was born.
