Eating Disorder & Metabolic Conditions Certified Nutritionist

Currently Accepting New Clients

Meet Staff Sergeant Sydni Murphy, a dedicated service member of the Washington Army National Guard and active duty Army veteran passionate about promoting holistic health and wellness.

During her near decade in the military, Sydni encountered numerous instances where individuals struggled with maintaining proper nutrition and battling eating disorders. She also overcame her own struggles with health and nutrition as she battled gestational diabetes twice. Recognizing the critical link between physical and mental well-being, she embarked on a personal mission to address these issues within herself and her community.

Driven to make a difference, Sydni pursued extensive education and training in nutrition and health and wellness, earning certifications in both fields. She became a beacon of knowledge and support for her fellow service members, friends, and family, offering guidance on healthy eating habits, personalized meal planning, and strategies to overcome disordered eating patterns.

In addition to her professional pursuits, Sydni is a compassionate mentor and advocate. She guides individuals on their journey to recovery with empathy and understanding. Her approach is rooted in a deep sense of duty and compassion, embodying the Army’s core values of honor, respect, integrity, and duty.

When Sydni is not protecting our state and country’s freedoms and people, she enjoys hiking, making sourdough delicacies, gardening, yoga, and traveling. She is a military spouse and mom of two girls and understands what raising children in this modern world is like. 

A Note from Sydni:

At the heart of my practice lies a profound commitment to an integrative approach that harmoniously combines Health at Every Size (HAES) principles and body acceptance with the transformative insights of Functional Medicine. This approach is not just about treating symptoms; it’s about delving deep into the underlying causes of eating disorders, illuminating the complex interplay between physiological, environmental, and psychological factors. By embracing HAES, I advocate for a respectful and inclusive view of body diversity, challenging the conventional narratives that often link self-worth to body size and shape. This perspective empowers individuals to foster a healthier relationship with food and their bodies, free from the constraints of societal expectations.

Body acceptance is another cornerstone of my methodology. It encourages a compassionate acceptance of the body as it is, rather than as society insists it should be. This acceptance is crucial, as it nurtures self-esteem and paves the way for positive changes, grounded not in self-loathing but in self-care. Coupled with this, the Functional Medicine approach provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the myriad factors contributing to eating disorders, including genetic, biochemical, and lifestyle elements. By identifying and addressing these root causes, rather than merely managing symptoms, I can offer a more effective and sustainable path to recovery.

The path to healing is not linear and requires a tailored approach that honors each individual’s unique experiences and needs. In my practice, I strive to create a supportive environment where all bodies are celebrated, and individuals can find holistic healing. This integrative method does more than heal; it transforms. It fosters resilience, promotes a deep-seated acceptance of oneself, and ultimately leads to a liberating reclamation of one’s life. In this space, every step forward is an act of courage, and every small victory is a testament to the power of an approach that respects the complexity of the human experience.
