About Erin
Howdy! I am Erin Massey a registered dietitian, mom of 3 and Family and Consumer Science Agent by day. What does that mean? I have over 6 years of experience in both hospitals and in community settings educating on all things food. I am passionate about making others understand not just nutritional guidelines but how our bodies respond to diet. In small mountain towns we have small mountain hospitals. Which means individuals are responsible for many different tasks that would ordinarily be divided among a team. My first few years as a dietitian I worked in outpatient clinics, treated oncology patients, taught cardiology, pulmonology and diabetes classes, and worked on inpatient floors including behavioral health unit and labor and delivery. You could say I wore a lot of hats. That being said, I am equipped to address most conditions/ questions anyone may have, and I am very thorough in my approach.
Approach to care
I truly believe in meeting the patient where they are at. That means finding goals that you can actually accomplish, not unrealistically expecting you to drink a gallon of water a day, or workout at 4:30am each morning. Although, if you're doing those things already, props to you my friend! I am hear to listen and provide the tools individuals need to succeed with whatever it is they want to accomplish (nutritionally, that is).
Your first session with Erin
For your first appointment I want to get to know YOU! What is your history? What foods do you like, what foods do you want to throw at others? What brings you to my "office?" The majority of your first visit will be history. This ensures, going forward, the goals we set together can truly be accomplished.
