Alison Swiggard MS, RDN, LD

Alison Swiggard, MS, RDN, LD, is a registered dietitian specializing in eating disorders, body image, and the complex relationships among food, mental health, and identity.

Alison works with adolescents and adults across the eating disorder spectrum, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, ARFID, and disordered eating. She has particular experience supporting neurodivergent clients, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and people navigating PCOS and gastrointestinal conditions such as IBS.

She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nutrition from Penn State University and her Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from Simmons University, where she completed a specialized concentration in eating disorders.

Alison currently practices at CV Wellbeing, a weight-inclusive group nutrition practice in Gorham, Maine, where she provides outpatient eating disorder care through a Health at Every Size® lens.

She brings both clinical depth and humanity to her work, emphasizing nourishment, safety, and trust rather than weight, food rules, or the idea that bodies need to be fixed.

Outside of work, Alison is creative at heart and values humor, honesty, and warmth in both life and practice. She believes meaningful change becomes possible when people feel safe, understood, and less alone.
