A registered dietitian with a passion for helping other dietitians grow their business. I've supported over 150 dietitian businesses in the past 2.5 years with the help of my amazing team of assistants.

Hi there, I'm
Kat Durston, RDN!

About

I got my first degree in art and design! When I decided to go back to school for nutrition, I wanted to find a job that helped me combine the two together. So, at the start of my Senior year, Flourish was born!

I was recently honored to accept the MiAND award for 2024 Public Relations Dietitian and 2025 Public Relations Group.

Now, I not only run the Flourish team, but I also teach other aspiring virtual assistants how to start and grow their company through speaking engagements, online courses, and other resources. 

We are proud to say we all have at least 2+ years of nutrition education! Flourish is a mix of dietitians, graduate interns, and dietetic students. 

I have an amazing team of assistants with me! Every assistant at Flourish has unique skillsets that allow us to help a wide variety of clients.

I couldn't do this all on my own.

My amazing team!

Hey there! I'm Jordyn, and I'm entering my senior year at the University of Wisconsin-Stout. I'm on track to graduate next spring with a BS in Dietetics and have plans to pursue my master's degree and complete a dietetic internship. Combining my lifelong passions for art, design, and nutrition, I couldn't be happier with my role at Flourish. It's a dream job where I have the opportunity to enjoy a flexible schedule, share evidence-based nutrition, and continuously enhance my design and marketing skills.

My name is Lexi and I am a registered dietitian. I got my Clinical Dietetics masters from Grand Valley State University. I am a retired member of the women’s soccer team at Grand Valley, but I continue to stay active through yoga, lifting, and running! Growing up, I have always had an interest in food, nutrition, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Hanna Matthias, RDN

Hi! I’m Hanna, a registered dietitian with five years of experience and a master's in dietetic administration. My background spans clinical dietetics, counseling, and management, with specialties in medical nutrition therapy, women's health, intuitive eating, body image, and disordered eating. I’ve always loved simplifying nutrition for people, but my passion for creativity and content creation led me to the world of virtual assisting! Now, I get to combine my expertise in health and wellness with my love for organization, marketing, and making life easier for others. When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with my husband, our little girl, and our dog, or staying active through running and lifting—usually followed by some delicious food!
I’m excited to connect and help bring your vision to life!

Hey! My name is Ayanna! I have a BS in Nutritional Science with an emphasis on Applied Nutrition and Food Sciences, and I'm really passionate about health and wellness. Right now, I'm working towards becoming a dietitian and hoping to open my own practice someday. Besides my studies, I'm working with other dietitians with Virtual Assistant needs for their private practice. I'm a huge foodie and can't live without my ice coffee fix! Exploring different cuisines is my thing, and I love trying new dishes from around the world. Traveling and spending weekends at the beach are my favorite ways to unwind and find inspiration. Overall, I'm driven by both academic ambition and helping others, and I'm excited to see where my journey in nutrition takes me.
