About Machelle

I am from the Midwest, growing up in South Dakota, and living in Kansas City, MO for the last 20 years. I worked in an old-fashioned drive-in restaurant as a carhop as a kid and became aware of the effect of nutrition on health at a young age. Babysitting a child with Type 1 diabetes and having a cousin with Type 1 was an eye opener for me. My grandmother was always reading about nutrition and trying new recipes, which was influential throughout my childhood.

Approach to care

The focus will be on how we can get you to your goals with as little struggle as possible. I enjoy being able to help you continue to include your favorite foods but also balancing your overall health plan to help you feel better. I live the advice I give, and I want to help you find the habits that work for you to make your body and mind feel better.

Your first session with Machelle

Be prepared to talk about yourself. By the end of the first session, we will set an initial goal that will be doable to start you off in a positive direction. I look forward to hearing about your goals for a healthier life and working together to get you there.
