Before we introduce you, we want you to know
Here's what you can expect when meeting with an Attune Nutrition dietitian...
We trust that nobody knows your body better than you do and that your lived experiences are sources of wisdom.
We advocate that all bodies should be treated equally and are worthy of respect, love, and acceptance.
We wholeheartedly believe that radical self-love is an essential element of body image healing.
We believe that consent, transparency, and freedom of choice are all parts of compassionate care.
We strive to create a warm and welcoming environment where people in all bodies can feel accepted.
We acknowledge that each person’s healing is their choice and has their own timeline.
We recognize that mainstream diet culture demonstrates systemic racism, oppression, and discrimination toward people in marginalized bodies including but not limited to black, indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC), LGBTQIA+, fat, and disabled.
We are committed to practicing nutrition counseling from a place that is trauma-informed, anti-racist, and in alignment with Body Trust®, Intuitive Eating and Health at Every Size® principles.
We love our clients and we celebrate their journey on becoming their own nutrition experts!

*Rachel is currently accepting new clients for January 2025*
Rachel is a masters-level registered dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. She practices with a fat positive, Health at Every Size, and trauma-informed approach to care. She has significant skills in supporting clients through a wide range of emotions around eating and their bodies. Her previous experiences as a military and outpatient dietitian also gave Rachel the opportunity to work with clients with a wide range of ages, genders, sexualities, neurodiversity, trauma-histories, disabilities, races, and ethnicities.
Specializing in treating all eating disorders and disordered eating, Rachel is also experienced at working with diabetes, IBS, IBD, celiac, pregnancy, and provides general nutrition information from a weight-neutral, anti-diet perspective. She is passionate about using her own experience at navigating the healthcare system as a fat person to support and coach her fat clients through their interactions with healthcare providers. She particularly enjoys helping patients sit with and work through the impact systems of oppression have on their personal beliefs and behaviors around food, eating, and bodies (both their own bodies and others). She works with adults and adolescents 13 years and older.
When Rachel is not ranting about how important carbs are, she can be found gushing over her three cats, rooting for failing sports teams, practicing tarot, reading queer books, and hanging out in Tacoma coffee shops with her friends.

Sara Mussa
RDN, CD
she/her | Registered dietitian
Read bio →
Sara is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor with experience in all levels of nutrition care since 2016. Her professional mission is to help clients deconstruct harmful black-or-white thinking surrounding food choice, body movement, body weight, body image, and self-talk in order to cultivate a vibrant life led by trust in one’s own bodily cues, intuition, and knowledge. Sara utilizes the principles of Intuitive Eating, Health at Every Size (HAES), and radical self-love to guide her clients on the rewarding journey of finding peace with food and body.
Sara provides nutrition counseling for individuals ages 13 years or older. She is passionate about working with people of color, the LGBTQIA+ community, and those who don’t meet the clinical criteria for an eating disorder diagnosis due to the lack of size-inclusivity in the making of the criteria.
Sara specializes in nutrition counseling for disordered eating, compulsive exercise, sports nutrition, orthorexia, binge eating disorder, bulimia, anorexia, ARFID, and other eating disorders.
When Sara is not working to take down diet culture she enjoys running, baking, watching A24 films, cuddling with her cat, reading memoirs/self-help books, and taking an obnoxious amount of photos of the food she orders at restaurants prior to digging in.

Sami Kingry | MA, RDN, CD, LD
Sami is a masters-level registered dietitian who is passionate about providing size-inclusive and gender-affirming care to individuals healing from eating disorders and disordered eating. Challenging societal norms and choosing to change your relationship with food and your body is an act of rebellion in itself, and Sami acknowledges the multitude of emotions that recovery can bring- all of which are valid. Sami practices from a Health at Every Size (HAES) and All Foods Fit lens and focuses on centering her client’s experiences and needs. Having worked at higher levels of eating disorder care for several years, Sami specializes in nutrition counseling for ARFID, anorexia nervosa, bulimia, binge eating disorder, as well as the wide range of disordered eating behaviors that do not fit diagnostic criteria. She also has a special interest in sports nutrition and working with LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent individuals. She aims to partner with her clients to find unique solutions that fit their personal goals of recovery.
Sami works with adults and adolescents ages 13 and older and particularly enjoys working with young adults and college-aged individuals going through life transitions.
As a neurodivergent dietitian, Sami holds privilege as a white, cis-gendered, straight-sized, and able-bodied person. She is passionate about providing care rooted in social justice, equity, and respect, and aims to support individuals as they explore their lived experiences and determine what healing looks like for them. Sami approaches difficult topics with humor, compassion, and kindness, and is humbled to be able to hold space for her clients’ healing.
When Sami is not fighting the good fight against diet culture, you can find her curled up with a good book, doing paint-by-numbers, or wandering aimlessly by the water with her sweet pup Ziva. Sami loves to cook and explore different cultures through food, and her favorite way to show affection is to feed others a delicious meal.
