About Makenna

Hi Everyone! My name is Makenna and I have been a Registered Dietitian for almost 5 years. I have previously worked in a hospital setting and a community clinic. Throughout my time as a dietitian, I have worked with patients of various ages, medical conditions and socioeconomic statuses. Within the past few years, I have become more interested in working with those in the prenatal/perinatal/postnatal period. Some fun facts about me: I grew up in the Hershey, PA area. I am a huge fan of Philly sports, Go Birds! Baking is a true passion of mine and I find any opportunity to try to work on my baking skills. Fitness wise: a few months ago I joined a boxing gym and love it. A goal of mine this year is to try to get into running

Approach to care

All of our sessions will be laid back to make you feel comfortable to share whatever you feel is important. During the sessions we will focus on goals that you have not only set for yourself but also goals that we set together. For the goals, accountability is going to be very important--I want you to be able to achieve these goals and continue to work on these on your own. The sessions will not be focused on the number on the scale but more importantly how you feel about your changes that you are making and what is working for your body. In order to get you the changes that you want to see, we need to figure out first what works best for you.

Your first session with Makenna

During your first session, we will work on getting to know each other and your eating habits. We will discuss any questions/concerns that you may have seeing a dietitian for the first time. From there we will walk through your typical eating patterns then discuss possible changes/goals to work on for our next session.
