I’ve been there too—as a professional, a mom, and a human just trying to live in a body in this culture.

I believe that all people of all shapes, sizes, ages, and walks of life are deserving of respect, dignity, and care. The work I do is grounded in the individual and unique needs and preferences of each of the clients I see.

The work I do and services I provide are not for crash dieters or someone looking for quick fixes no matter the cost to their health.

There are many quick fix “solutions” out there promoting the promise of weight loss, but they are unsustainable for most. If you are looking for a quick fix or restrictive way of eating that will surely result in a rebound, I am probably not the provider for you. If, however, you are interested in learning about a different path to creating long-lasting health and well-being we are definitely a good fit.

Working as a team with my clients I help them make changes in their eating, sleep, stress, movement, and their mindset, not in a restrictive, weight loss at all cost way, but instead by helping them find better balance and typically adding in versus taking away.

I am devoted to inspiring and empowering people to make decisions around food, movement, and other aspects of their physical and mental health that meet their needs.

I provide a safe, nonjudgemental, caring and respectful space to guide clients in navigating food and being in their bodies using the framework and principles of mindful and intuitive eating.

Education

I received my Bachelor and Master Degree of Science in Health and Nutrition from the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, Florida. I completed a dietetic internship as part of that Master’s degree program. I sat for the RD exam and became a Registered Dietitian (RD) in 2000. I have worked in many different areas of nutrition throughout my career including cardiac rehab, weight management, diabetes education, long term care, and employee health and wellness. I am now in private practice and offer one-on-one and group counseling services either in-person or virtually. I also enjoy presenting to groups on various subjects of interest.

Experience

As a licensed and registered professional, I perform continuing education to maintain my certification and licensure. I am a life-long student and constantly reading and researching the latest trends, theories and research. Nutrition is a science that is constantly evolving and changing and I feel it is my duty and responsibility to be knowledgable on current trends while providing evidence-based, real information to clients. As part of this continued learning, I became a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor.

What my clients are saying

Anna provided great insight

It provided a safe place to discuss personal issues and to obtain guidance regarding mindfulness and food. Anna provided great insight along with resources available to take steps towards becoming more mindful and educated not only about common myths but medical information regarding food and nutrition.I am more mindful of eating and feel kinder towards myself and body image. I spent a lot of time feeling like a failure with regards to my eating habits. I now am more mindful of choices and feel more confident. While Anna is a consummate professional she is also very compassionate- terrific combination!

Your enthusiasm for what you do shows through and the way you treat your clients

Your enthusiasm for what you do shows through and the way you treat your clients. And it is so encouraging that you are your clients cheerleaders. All the information and emails that contain resources and are open conversations about health. It is life-changing because you have taught me how to not focus on the scales. Not focus on number values. To foods, but to listen to my body and the way God created it And it works. I have more energy and that feels amazing. And hopefully my cholesterol will be much lower when I go back to the Doctor. I’m sure it will be. I stopped focusing on point values assigned to food. I started focusing on educating myself around food. Anyone who struggles with body image and doesn’t feel like they’re doing enough. Should come talk to you period you have really helped redirect my thoughts on what is healthy body.

She helped me let go of the guilt and shame associated with food and allowed me to be more comfortable in my own skin

I’m so thankful for Anna Jones, my intuitive eating coach. She helped me let go of the guilt and shame associated with food and allowed me to be more comfortable in my own skin. Before I started working with her, I felt like I was constantly battling against myself when it came to food decisions and body image. Now, thanks to her patient guidance and kind coaching, I have a much healthier relationship with food and my body. Anna has helped me learn to trust my body again, without judgment or guilt. I’m so grateful for her help in allowing me to be more confident and happy. Anna is truly an amazing coach and intuitive eating expert. Her knowledge of how to help people break free from food guilt and body shame is unparalleled. She has helped me understand how to honor my hunger, trust my cravings, and live a life free of food stress. Thank you Anna!

I highly recommend working with Anna!

For many weeks, I considered working with a nutritionist, and after much research, I decided to make an appointment with Anna Jones. After several sessions with Anna, I can say without reservation that her positive attitude and her thorough understanding of nutrition and intuitive eating make her the best! Anna took a sincere interest in addressing my dietary concerns and questions, and she gave me a detailed action plan to address them. Her approach is to equip her clients with the tools they need to make great choices, and then to guide them along the way with lots of encouragement and adjustments as necessary. I highly recommend working with Anna! If you are looking for a nutritionist who is extremely knowledgeable, provides encouragement, and will give you the tools and resources you need to help yourself, Anna is the perfect choice.

My mindset has completely shifted and I am so much more free and happier

Anna has helped me navigate my journey of self-love and body image. She has offered amazing advice through talking, podcasts, books, and blogs, but also listens intently to my concerns and thoughts on what is being offered. I loved that I had someone who didn’t know me already who encouraged me and supported me through this journey. She was so motivating and pushed me in the ways that I needed to be, without feeling overwhelmed. First peeling back the layers of poor body image, diet history, etc; then moving into body neutrality; and finally being intuitive about what we are eating, how we are eating. She helped me to put it all together and find confidence in my choices without feeling shame or embarrassment. My mindset has completely shifted and I am so much more free and happier on a day to day basis when I don’t have to worry about what I’m eating or how other people view. I have gained weight through this process, but I am fueling and moving my body how I want and wearing what I feel comfortable, without worrying about it every minute of every day.

My philosophy

Eating doesn’t have to be stressful

There is so much noise these days about food and health.

We are constantly bombarded by people telling us about which foods to eat and how best to care for our bodies. With all the chatter, simply nourishing ourselves can feel overwhelming.

I know that when we quiet the noise and come back to our bodies and our needs, eating and caring for ourselves becomes easier and more doable.

A Non-Diet Approach

This means I will not put you on a diet. Why? Diets don’t work. In fact, 95% of dieters that pursue weight loss end up gaining the weight back…most within 2-5 years!

Diets subtract from our lives and create difficulty and unsustainable rigid rules that ultimately lead to guilt and shame. The non-diet approach helps you focus on eating in a balanced, healthful way that takes into account your preferences and unique lifestyle while also supporting health and well-being.

We can work together to help you learn new skills that help you discover:

How to handle emotions, thoughts, or circumstances WITHOUT depending on food.
How to find satisfaction and feel good about eating
How to recognize hunger and fullness
Self-care that will help you achieve your body's natural, healthy weight
Tools to help you feel great in your own skin

Food can be fun, delicious, and satisfying

Taking an all-foods-fit and positive approach to nutrition means finding pleasure and satisfaction from wide variety of foods and adding in versus taking away. This means there are no “good/bad” or “healthy/unhealthy” foods. ALL foods can be a part of normalized, healthy eating! I work with clients to explore joy, pleasure, and true satisfaction with food. Putting you in the driver’s seat when it comes to choosing what to eat!

Health at Every Size

This model emphasizes that there’s no right or wrong body size or shape and rejects the idea that we all need to “fix” our bodies.

Everyone deserves to be treated equally, regardless of their body size. I firmly believe in weight and body inclusivity and respect all bodies.

As a client, I’ll guide you to better understand and embrace body acceptance and self-compassion. Together, we’ll work towards helping you honor, respect, and care for your current body.

Joyful Movement

When we move from a place of self-care instead of self-punishment or self-control, it can be so much more fun!

I help clients approach movement in a way that’s showing their bodies love and kindness versus punishment and misery.

Together we can find activities that you genuinely love and help you discover moving your body in a way that feels good and fulfilling, rather than viewing it as a chore.
