Meet Ariel Danek Smith
MS, RD, LDN, CDCES
My name is Ariel, dietitian and founder of Ariel Danek Nutrition LLC. I currently work with individuals in North Carolina and Illinois to reestablish their relationship with food and their bodies through nutrition education and counseling. I believe sustainability and satisfaction are the building blocks to this soul changing approach and that everyone has the ability to feel confident in nourishing themselves on a daily basis. I vow to be your nutrition educator, friend, and ally as we explore the immeasurable value of finding food freedom together.
I value dedication, an open heart, and willingness to take a risk for the benefit of your future self— and everyone else who is lucky enough to be impacted by the life you live.
When I’m not changing the world’s perspective on dieting, you can find me camping with my dog Dazy, dancing to live music, or seeking out the nearest body of water for a swim or paddle. I love cooking without recipes, mocha lattes, and a good resale shop.
Forget about fitting into molds, we're here to break barriers and celebrate your individuality.
