Meet The Team
Lindsay Helton (she/her), MPH, RDN, LDN
Founder and Registered Dietitian
Hi, I'm Lindsay! I'm so glad you're here.
As a dietitian, my passion is helping others discover a way of eating that feels flexible and freeing. I founded the practice in 2019 and am so grateful for the opportunity to support those wanting to find a new way to relate to food and their body.
​
I’ve worked as an eating disorder dietitian in partial hospitalization, intensive outpatient, and outpatient settings. I listen carefully, encourage gently, and offer feedback when invited, always reminding clients that they are the experts of their own bodies — sometimes it just takes time and exploration to rediscover that connection. I know food can be a source of enjoyment, not stress, and one of the best parts of my job is seeing clients discover this for themselves.

I’ve lived in North Carolina my whole life and now call the Lake Norman area home. We’re excited to be expanding New Paths Nutrition to the Lake Norman area in July 2025! Our new office in Cornelius will offer the same warm, inclusive care we’re known for in Charlotte.
Outside of work, you’ll find me trying out new coffee shops (I’m the resident coffee expert, after all), attempting gardening, and spoiling my dog. If we work together via telehealth, she’ll likely be nearby, keeping me company as I work!

Daniela Masciello (she/her), MPH, RDN, LDN
Registered Dietitian
Hi there, my name is Daniela!
I’m a Registered Dietitian who is passionate about working with people who want to improve their relationship with food. If eating and body image are taking up too much of your time and energy, we would be a great fit together to discover how you can nourish your body with less overthinking and stress. I hope to be alongside you in the ups and downs of your journey and provide a listening ear, support, and gentle feedback and structure when you feel it is needed.
In addition to currently specializing in eating disorder recovery, I worked as a clinical dietitian in a hospital for several years. I have experience working with folks with diabetes, GI disorders, cardiovascular issues, and other health conditions. I practice from a weight-inclusive lens.
In my free time, I enjoy reading, cooking, traveling, and spending time outdoors with my dog Kiko. I live in Charlotte, NC and offer in-person and telehealth sessions. I’m looking forward to connecting with you.

Sara Geiger (she/her), MS, RDN, LDN
Registered Dietitian
​​​​
Hello there! My name is Sara.
I’m a fiercely anti-diet Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) specializing in eating disorders.
My journey as a dietitian began at the intersection of nutrition and psychology, as I chose to major in both during my undergraduate career. I have experience working in intensive outpatient, partial hospitalization, and outpatient settings, and I am committed to providing evidence-based, personalized care to each of my clients.
I embrace the Health at Every Size and weight-inclusive frameworks, promoting well-being and rejecting weight stigma. My trauma-informed approach focuses on nourishing the body, mind, and spirit, recognizing that true health is about understanding an individual’s intersectional identities. I aim to restore trust in the healthcare provider-client relationship, ensuring each person feels respected and supported throughout their healing journey. Together, we’ll explore how your food and exercise behaviors align with your core values, tailoring interventions to address both the nutritional and emotional aspects of eating disorders.

I enjoy educating people on the nutrition skills we’re often never taught in school. Whether we’re working on menu planning, grocery shopping, or tackling new foods together, I’m passionate about building nutrition self-efficacy. We can work on this whether we meet via telehealth or at our office in Charlotte. Outside of my work, I love baking, enjoying live music, walking trails, and reading with my cat, Chimichanga, by my side. I look forward to working with you!
