Madison Service

About Madison

Hi there! Madison has extensive experience counseling people all over the world with various backgrounds. Her work includes partnering with the CDC's Diabetes Prevention Program and guiding members through a year-long behavior change program through app and messaging support. Madison truly believes food should be delicious and appointments should be fun, engaging, and make clients leave with a smile on their face. As someone who embraces positivity, she will start most sessions with 'what went well for you?'. There are often more things to be proud of than we think! She is continually amazed and inspired by her clients successes.

Approach to care

Her passion lies in helping individuals work towards making peace with food by promoting a healthy relationship with food and their bodies through non-diet and weight inclusive approaches. She encourages the development of small, sustainable, and enjoyable lifestyle changes to enhance people's quality of life. As someone who has personally experienced the debilitating effects of a chronic digestive disorder and witnessed the profound impact of nutrition, empathy is always the backbone of her care. She fosters a sensitive, judgement-free, and motivational environment that results in people feeling empowered and confident in their ability to make changes.

Your first session with Madison

Madison will delve into your wellness journey, past approaches, current habits, and preferences/beliefs surrounding food. She emphasizes understanding you as an individual, valuing your input to collaboratively create a plan that feels realistic, sustainable, and fun for you. We will discuss your health holistically, chatting about nutrition, movement, sleep hygiene, stress management, and social health. She asks a lot of questions in order to best tailor strategies for your unique health journey during our time together. She aims to foster a relaxed environment, where laughter is encouraged, to facilitate our work in partnership together.

Anything and everything outside! I love to mountain bike, trail run, hike, ski, relax in the sun, and play with my new puppy Fiona 😍 When not outside, I enjoy dancing to live music, experimenting in the kitchen, and hanging out with friends + family.
