Hello, I'm Kerri Hawkins...

Hello, I'm Kerri Hawkins...

Registered Dietitian, supportive partner, boy mom, and someone who's been exactly where you are.

For years, nutrition and fitness were my world – until April 2020, when everything changed. After having my son, my body felt foreign. The constant aches and pains, the bone-deep exhaustion, the complete loss of confidence in my own skin – I was just trying to survive while chasing an impossible standard of "perfect" health.

Sound familiar?

Here's what shifted everything for me: I stopped judging myself and started observing myself with curiosity instead. That one mindset change sparked a complete transformation. I ditched the perfectionism, let go of the rigid rules I'd been following, and started actually nourishing my body instead of punishing it.

The relief was incredible. The results were even better.

That personal journey completely changed how I work with clients like you. Because I get it now – really get it. I know what it's like to feel confused by conflicting advice, exhausted from trying everything, and worried that nothing will ever work.

Here's what I believe:

Your worth isn't measured on a scale. Sustainable habits will always beat perfect eating. And despite what the medical community keeps pushing, weight is not the ultimate predictor of health or how you'll feel in your body.

I specialize in teaching chronic dieters and people managing metabolic concerns (diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure) how to nourish their bodies without rigid rules. My approach helps you lower your numbers – blood sugar, cholesterol, blood pressure – while actually enjoying your life.

Unlike quick-fix methods obsessed with weight loss, I focus on building sustainable, personalized habits that fit your real life. Together, we'll ditch the perfectionism that's been holding you back and create a flexible lifestyle that helps you reclaim your health and reduce your reliance on medications.

Because you deserve more than just surviving. You deserve to thrive.

My Story

I'm Kerri Hawkins – Registered Dietitian, Certified Personal Trainer, and someone whose career has taken some unexpected turns.

I started out as a Bariatric Dietitian at Tufts Medical Center, where I became an expert in weight management and bariatric surgery. But here's what I learned during those years: I kept seeing the same people struggling with the same problems, stuck in cycles of restriction and regain. That experience lit a fire in me for preventative medicine – catching health issues before they required surgical intervention.

In 2011, I joined Family Practice Group, P.C. in Arlington, Massachusetts, working within a Patient Centered Medical Home model. This collaborative approach showed me how powerful it is when healthcare providers actually work together for the patient's benefit, rather than in silos.

But I wanted to reach more people. So I co-founded the nonprofit WellnessCampaign.org, which has supported thousands of people struggling with weight-related chronic disease. Our small-group model creates the support and accountability that actually works – inspiring people to make lasting changes in how they move, eat, and live. Because real transformation happens in community, not isolation.

My work in the field has been recognized by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (they gave me their Young Dietitian of the Year Award), and I served as President of the Massachusetts Dietetic Association from 2012-2013. I continue to serve on various boards because I believe in elevating our profession and ensuring people get evidence-based nutrition guidance.

The Credentials:

Master's degree in Nutritional Sciences from The Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University
Dietetic Internship at the Frances Stern Nutrition Program at Tufts Medical Center
Bachelor's degree in Dietetics from the University of New Hampshire
Certified Personal Trainer through the American College of Sports Medicine

When I'm Not Coaching:

I'm married to Brian, who I met on the golf course (yes, really). He's a culinary explorer who will travel anywhere or make anything to experience good food. We're constantly reinventing recipes together in our kitchen and planning our next food-focused travel adventure.

We're also parents to Lincoln, our food-loving son who keeps us on our toes and reminds us daily that perfection is overrated.

I'm happiest when I'm moving – skiing all winter, golfing once spring hits, and spending long summer days at the beach with family. I'm a total foodie who believes that experiencing new cultures through their food is one of life's greatest joys.

Why This Matters to You:

All of these experiences – the bariatric work, the preventative medicine focus, the nonprofit, the continuous learning, the personal journey through motherhood – have shaped how I work with clients today. I've seen what works and what doesn't. I know the research, but I also know real life. And I'm here to help you find the balance between the two.
