About Ann Marissa
Hi! I'm Marissa and I live in Florida. I received my undergraduate degree in nutrition from Florida State University and my masters degree from University of North Florida. I teach as an adjunct instructor for the University of North Florida and also work in the skilled nursing/rehabilitation area clinically. I enjoy reading, cooking, Pilates and spending time with my family (husband and two boys).
Approach to care
I utilize a patient centered approach to care. Nutrition is SO personal and one size or approach does not fit all. I spend our time together tailoring your goals to your lifestyle. I want my patients to understand that once we develop a path to follow to meet your goals, we may need to adjust as you apply the changes to your lifestyle. You may determine something doesn't work - and we can and will pivot to find a way to make it work or change it to something that will.
Your first session with Ann Marissa
Our first session will be a deep dive into your current patterns and lifestyle as well as medical/weight history. We will discuss your goals and any roadblocks/challenges you have faced in being successful up until this point in meeting those goals. We will then begin to develop your roadmap utilizing short and long term goals. Each session you can expect to take tangible guidance to apply to your life until our next meeting. Our subsequent meetings will be about tailoring your goals after experiencing what does and does not work for you.
