About Maggie

Hi, I'm Maggie! I’m a Registered Dietitian with 10 years of experience, and I earned my MS in Nutrition & Dietetics from Southern Illinois University. I’ve worked in clinical and hospital settings, research and academia, and sports nutrition, which helps me see nutrition from many angles. I practice with my RD, LD, and CDCES credentials woven into daily care, grounded in science and warmth. Outside of work I coach high school girls' basketball, love to travel, and laugh as much as possible every day. I’m grateful to meet you here.

Approach to care

My care philosophy is grounded in evidence, empathy, and partnership. I believe in building a plan with you, not for you, and translating the latest science into practical steps you can actually use. We’ll move at your pace, set clear actions, and track progress together. I embrace a weight neutral, HAES informed perspective and a holistic view that includes sleep, stress, activity, and mood. You deserve education and support that empower your choices, so sustainable change becomes part of your everyday life.

Your first session with Maggie

Our first appointment is all about YOU. We’ll review your medical history, current routines, and your relationship with food, then establish short term goals that feel doable. No pressure, no judgment, just a collaborative conversation where you set the pace. You don’t need to have it all figured out before we meet. We’ll talk about what has worked, what hasn’t, and design 1-2 realistic next steps to start. Together we’ll create a path that respects your unique life and goals.
