Jamison is originally from Franklin, TN - born and raised. She completed her nutrition and dietetics degree at the University of Tennessee before migrating up north to Boston, MA to complete her Masters degree in Nutrition and sports nutrition along with her dietetic internship at Simmons College.
An athlete growing up, she saw how important nutrition was on the body and for sport. She decided to make nutrition a career when she worked as a sports nutrition intern at the University of Tennessee helping athletes fuel their bodies. From there, she migrated up to Boston to continue schooling and had amazing experiences in the world of sports and eating disorders.
Her love for other areas of nutrition came from her vast experience post-college working in residential treatment for co-occurring eating disorders, trauma, and substance abuse, a medical-based health and wellness facility, a collegiate sports facility, and a clinical, outpatient nutrition counseling setting.
Overall, she enjoys helping clients find healthier relationships with both food and their bodies by using an evidence-based, non-diet, Health at Every Size (HAES) approach in her nutrition counseling. Jamison is a big believer in the “all foods fit” model and working with client’s individually to balance their plate with an end goal of creating a more positive relationship with food.
She loves working with adolescents and adults alike around developing a better relationship with food and body.
Jamison loves all things outdoors including hiking, camping, and kayaking and is the biggest fan of the connection of body and mind while enjoying yoga and running. She currently lives in Nashville with her husband, 2 little girls, and chocolate lab.

Karley Blackwelder, MS
Nutrition Educator
Specialties: Intuitive Eating
Karley received her Bachelor's degree in Food Science, Nutrition, and Health Promotion from Mississippi State University. She then completed both her Masters degree in Nutrition and Dietetic Internship at Samford University. Karley has experience in inpatient, long-term care, outpatient, and community health settings.
During her dietetic internship, Karley found that many individuals are overwhelmed by the immense amount of nutrition misinformation that swarms the internet, as well as diet-culture that has subconsciously embedded itself into our daily thoughts and practices. Her mission as a nutrition professional is to teach individuals how to eat to promote healthful eating practices, instead of what not to eat or how to diet. Karley’s hope for her clients is that they will learn to foster a healthy relationship with food by honoring their body, their health, and their cravings. She practices from an evidenced based, non-diet approach.
Karley lives in her hometown, Savannah, TN and enjoys walks with friends, scrapbooking, cooking with her fiancé, trying different types of exercise, and exploring new hobbies.
Karley is RD eligible and plans to sit for the Registered Dietitian credentialing exam in the near future!
