Our Team

Andrea Stokes

Andrea (she/her) is a registered dietitian (RD) and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor based in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador.  She graduated from Ryerson University's dietetic program in 2012, completed her internship with Eastern Health in 2013, and has worked in a variety of corporate- and community-based settings before opening Mindset Nutrition + Wellness in 2021. 

Andrea practices from a weight-inclusive, non-diet approach with a focus on building a healthy relationship with food, movement, and body.  This means breaking free from diet-culture, with all its unnecessary food rules and restriction, and instead encouraging clients to honour their body and nutritional needs, and start living a life that includes joyful, satisfying, and stress-free eating.  She is passionate about dismantling diet-culture and the oppressive and discriminatory health and beauty ideals that are at its roots, separating fact from fiction when it comes to body size and health, and advocating for respectful and compassionate health care for all bodies.
