About Me

Welcome to InSpires Wellness, owned and operated by me, Summer Spires! I'm a licensed and registered dietitian nutritionist in the Orlando area. 

I have worked in a variety of settings including an inpatient trauma and rehabilitation center in Chicago, a diabetes self-management outpatient center in North Carolina, and eating disorder and substance use disorder residential treatment facilities in Florida. In addition, I have spent almost a decade in corporate America working as a leader of clinical quality for a major health insurance company. 

To further my training as a dietitian, I earned my title as a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist. The motivation to earn this title stems from my mother, who was diagnosed with diabetes at a young age. 

I'm a deeply spiritual person, and decided to pursue holistic healing modalities for myself first and foremost. I'm a highly sensitive/empathetic individual and am forever seeking tools to support my own nervous system regulation. I quickly understood the tools I was learning to help myself through yoga, breathwork, and meditation translated to the work I completed with my clients. Nervous system regulation is closely connected to our nutrition and how foods make us feel. As such, I am a trained yoga teacher and incorporate yoga and mindfulness into my sessions. 

My approach to nutrition therapy is through a non-diet, weight neutral, and "all foods can fit" model. I believe that everybody and every body deserves a healthy relationship with food and Self. I assist clients through individual nutrition plans, mindful eating, food challenges, and space to explore thoughts and beliefs associated with food. 

I received my bachelor’s degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from Northern Illinois University and my master’s degree in Nutrition from Appalachian State University.
