“I had an amazing experience with Claudia Hleap. She is incredibly educated and uses a science-backed approach that gave me so much confidence. Being neurodivergent with ARFID and a vegan diet, I often worry about being misunderstood, but Claudia was empathetic and enthusiastic throughout. She even took all the notes for me during our session! Her passion for nutrition and behavior change is obvious. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a sustainable, stress-free path to their health goals.”

“I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Claudia helped me so much to understand what this means and how to deal with it. I was also very upset about it and she was so kind and sensitive to my feelings. She explained everything so clearly and helped me understand what I needed to do (and also just eat healthier in general ito prevent type II diabetes). She has very practical recommendations for how to eat in moderation and lots of healthy and delicious recipes to share. Highly recommend.”

Claudia has helped me so much with my health goals. She is extremely professional while still being down to earth. She has been able to meet me where I am and set manageable goals that I am building on over time. I know that with the changes we are working on together I will be able to stick to these goals and continue to work towards a healthier lifestyle. I would recommend Claudia to anyone looking for manageable and easy to stick to nutrition counseling!
I love my experience working with Claudia! She is extremely encouraging, flexible, and compassionate which helps to motivate me, accomplish the goals we set together. Claudia fully understands my boundaries and works to ensure a comfortable plan is created to meet my needs but utilizes an attitude that keeps me accountable. Would highly recommend her services!
Claudia has been so helpful the last 6 months! I’ve learned so much about nutrition and have lots of yummy new recipes that I use every week. Highly recommend!!!
I think Claudia is wonderful. I am pre-diabetic and need help. I like Claudia's style, is non-judgmental. She is a good listener and took the time to listen to me before giving me advice. She is clearly very qualified and gave me a realistic plan that fits well with my lifestyle. And, she was patient and friendly, and I never felt like she was rushing me. She answered all my questions thoughtfully. I look forward to working more with her and becoming healthier as a result!
Claudia has completely changed my life. Through her knowledge and guidance, I lost 20 pounds and have never felt more confident and healthier. I feel well supported by her and also my own knowledge as a result of her education. I’m so grateful I found Claudia and would recommend anyone to see her to learn about how to optimize their nutrition to its greatest potential! Also, Claudia is unbelievably kind and fun, making each appointment something I truly look forward to. Thank you, Claudia!
My time with Hleap Nutrition not only helped me reach my goals, but also helped me change my relationship with food to be more positive. I also felt heard in my consults with Claudia, and my needs were always taken into account.
Claudia does a great job with education, focusing on your goals, and workshopping nutrition practices and solutions that are really easy to follow and achievable for anyone. Great experience, highly recommended!
Claudia is an amazing, professional dietician. She focuses on realistic goals, one step at a time, personalized for the patient. I feel less overwhelmed about nutrition & happy that I’m not bothering with restrictions & guilt involving food. Goals are achievable and adjusted based on my wants and needs, so it feels natural. I also appreciate the way we focused on healing my GI symptoms and I have felt more motivated than ever because of the holistic way we approach nutrition together.
I’ve only had one appointment with Claudia so far, but she was very thorough, thoughtful, and communicative. She helped me create a path for positive change from the get go.

I’ve been working with Claudia since April 2024. My greatest health challenge has been living with Type-2 diabetes. Despite taking oral medication and with my best efforts relative to eating the right foods, I continued to struggle with my blood sugar levels. My primary physician recommended that I utilize the support of a nutritionist in order to get assistance with my blood sugar challenges. He recommended Dr. Knight and her service. From my first session with Claudia, it was clear that I made the right choice. We work together to formulate dietary goals which target better food choices and eating habits. These goals have facilitated better eating habits which have in turn improved my blood sugar levels (A1C). If you’re looking for some assistance in better understanding your nutritional needs, then touch base with Dr Claudia Knight of Hleap Nutrition Services She’s a part of my health management team…make her a part of yours.
Claudia is hands-down the best dietitian!. She is incredibly kind and creates a completely non-judgmental space to talk about food, behaviors and healthy habits. What I love most is how she stays current with the latest research and health conditions; she can debunk 'diet trends' instantly with actual science. She doesn't just give you a plan; she gives you easy, realistic options that make healthy habits feel like second nature. If you want someone who actually listens and makes health feel achievable, book her!

I loved that she listened to what I had to say, asked a bunch of questions to get to know me, and created a game plan of things to work on moving forward. She gave great options for snacks and forwarded me her notes afterwards so I didn't have to worry about writing things down. Great first session!

I highly recommend! Claudia is very knowledgeable, a good listener and gives excellent advice. If you need a trusted, caring, competent dietition, look no further! 2 thumbs up!
I have reached Claudia with my weight loss goals, she helped with setting my loss goals in a right way. She listed out a well balanced nutritious diet to help with my weight loss. As part of my weight loss journey she is been helping me to do some habit changes besides explaining what kind of food I need to have and why. She has a very positive attitude and that reflects on me and definitely helping me in reaching my goals. I definitely recommend Claudia to anyone who is looking for a good nutritionist.

Great experience working with Claudia!
Claudia helped me lower my blood sugars and get off medications. She has a great and sustainable approach that I will be able to use for the rest of my life.
I've been working with Claudia for my IBS for over a year and it has led to amazing improvement in my symptoms & my overall nutrition. She is very smart, engaging, empathetic and takes a personal interest in making sure you get the help & encouragement you need.
We talk about what I did like in exercising and what I ate in the past month..Than we go over it and she does my new goals for the next visit which is very helpful... I love the way she listens to what I am saying and helps me to do better in my goals..
Claudia is knowledgeable & kind. She worked hard to give me handouts to reference at home, and referred me to other specialists as appropriate. I will definitely make a follow-up appointment with Claudia soon!
I've been coming to Claudia biweekly for 2 months and have lost 18lbs, just by making minor changes in my life. She is so friendly and it is so easy to be honest with her if I begin to fall back into old habits. She helps me bounce back and keep me motivated.
Claudia is by far the most relatable and down-to-earth LDN I have ever met. She’s very realistic and knowledgeable about the best diet plans to fit individual lifestyles. She helps you get results without the pressure and stress associated with traditional strict dieting. She’s the best!
Claudia was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in answering my questions about my diet / nutrition and helping me come up with an action plan to address my concerns! Not only was Claudia very professional, but she was very easy to talk to and put things into very relatable terms!
I saw Claudia due to a recent prediabetes diagnosis. I was not very knowledgeable on how to create a new diet or on steps to take to effectively reduce my A1C levels. Claudia guided me through designing a new diet based around my specific issues and helped me structure it in a way that allowed me to adjust my long term eating habits rather than simply abstain from certain foods for a short period of time. Claudia was a huge part of me getting control over my condition; a few months sticking to our plan and I’ve reduced my A1C levels dramatically and am well on my way to no longer being prediabetic!
Total professional in every aspect. Claudia recommended a profile of nutrients and specific foods that really work for me. I feel much more confident that I can implement my nutrition plan with success. Thank you!
Claudia is the easiest person to talk to regarding diet and nutrition. I had a hard time with diet and weight my whole life; which resulted in me having an eating disorder. I felt that was the only way to control the issue. Claudia helped me find a diet that helped with my nutrient deficiencies and overall helped me come back and maintain a safe weight for my height and age. Not once did Claudia make me feel judged throughout the whole process. Additionally, she helped me find foods that worked for me and my everyday routine. I am not a big cook, which can deviate most people from getting onto a healthy eating routine, but Claudia gave me fast easy recipes to make and on the go foods to eat.
Claudia is great! She is very approachable and offers practical solutions that are helping me work towards a healthier lifestyle. I’ve been able to implement several new strategies that are helping me eat healthier and make progress towards my goals.
Claudia was great!!! Very helpful and super easy to communicate openly with. We discussed my health and nutrition goals and made sure I had a solid plan I can stick with.
I have been to various dietitians but Claudia has been the perfect fit for me. She took her time to listen to my medical history and concerns. She is compassionate and understanding.
Claudia Hleap comes highly recommended! After doing a really restrictive diet during the first part of the quarantine where I lost 20lbs, I started to plateau. Claudia put me on a new diet focused on an appropriate distribution of protein, carbs, and vegetables and portion control. She even gave me a list of snack ideas that combined the appropriate amount of proteins and carbs to leave me satiated in between meals. I'm pleased to report that I am happier, more full, satisfied with the variety of what I can eat, and already down 5 more pounds! While, the weight is not coming off as quickly as my super-restrictive fad diet, I can pretty much eat what I want as long as its in the right proportion and companies with fresh nutritious options. I can see how this will be a sustainable life style change, that will keep my weight from continuing to yo-yo.
Discovering Claudia Hleap has been life changing for me. Working with Ms. Hleap has helped me overcome eating disorders which has led me to a better understanding of my body, my relationship with food, and my relationship with myself. I was able to communicate with Ms. Claudia regularly and for all questions I had she gave me answers to each and every question. She was responsive and always there for me with a positive message and support. She took the time to carefully assess where I was at with each visit at her office, and knew when extra time was needed in order to move forward. Her caring nature and dedication to helping others are just two traits that make her such an outstanding dietitian.
