About Madison

Welcome, I am so glad you are here! My name is Madison, I was born and raised in Kentucky but had a short stent in Georgia before moving back. My passion for nutrition and dietetics was initially sparked by a heavy machinery accident that left my grandfather paralyzed with chronic wounds and ongoing medical complexities. I was able to visibly see the effect nutrition has on the body. Since then, my love for nutrition has only grown more vast and ultimately led me to pursue a career where I could help others discover the joy and power of nourishing their bodies and minds.

Approach to care

I take a whole-person approach to nutrition. I seek to understand your individual lifestyle and your habits around food, sleep, stress, and movement. My approach is often pro-metabolic, centering on protein-forward, minimally processed foods, consistent eating patterns, and lifestyle movement to promote lasting energy, metabolic balance, and well-being. I’ll help you create meal plans, grocery lists, and meal timing strategies that actually work in real life. I also focus on education—like how to time protein for muscle support and how to balance meals to prevent inflammation and blood sugar issues. My goal is to support your goals with realistic, personalized care that fits your lifestyle

Your first session with Madison

I enjoy learning about you in our first session. I will ask you questions about your life and your current habits with nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress. We will discuss your goals and why you scheduled an appointment. The first session is time for you and I to get to know one another and clearly articulate your goals and what we will be working on.
