About Madeline

Hey there! My name is Maddie and I am an RD/LD out of northeast Ohio! I studied Nutrition and Exercise Science in undergraduate at Ohio State University, and then stuck around a bit longer to complete my master's degree in Nutrition and Dietetics. Over the past couple of years I've specialized mostly in pediatric nutrition, but have always continued to work with adult patients as well. As I work in a hospital, I am constantly seeing patients with a variety of nutrition needs and can quickly adapt to meet your goals!

Approach to care

My mantra when it comes to nutrition is "life enhancing". In other words, I believe its critical to develop an eating pattern and a relationship with food that is going to benefit you for whole life, not just for a short time. I want you to gain the skills and the knowledge to stay healthy, active, and happy - no matter what period of life you're in. As a dietitian with a background in a hospital setting, I think evidenced based recommendations are crucial! Any information provided or topics discussed will come from clinical evidence, not personal opinion or bias. That being said, I aim to keep sessions comfortable and take them at YOUR own pace. I find the best sessions and the best results come about when both the dietitian and the patient are collaborating equally. Let's work together as a team to meet your goals.

Your first session with Madeline

In your first session, I'll be getting a feel for what your current diet looks like. I'll also get to know a bit about your lifestyle, your preferences, food access, etc. Anything that relates to what you eat and why you eat it, lets get into it. We'll talk about your goals, what you're looking to get out of dietary counseling, and from there we'll come up with a plan that you feel best supports you and your goals!
