About Marcelina

Hi there! My name is Marcelina and I have been a dietitian since July of 2021. I primarily have experience with the geriatric population in a research setting and in a long-term care setting. This research setting allows me to facilitate group mediated nutrition education sessions and assist with the resistance training program for participants. I have a passion for helping individuals establish a strong nutrition foundation that is evidence-based and build to implement sustainable change in their lives. I will work to provide you with the resources you need to feel empowered to create healthful dietary patterns and advocate for what is beneficial for your overall health.

Approach to care

I am here to meet you where you are. Everyone needs to start somewhere, so let's build a strong foundation together! First we'd focus on the pillars of a healthy lifestyle - eating nutritionally balanced meals, quality sleep, daily movement, and staying hydrated. I believe small changes can help create long-term success for your goals. When you are feeling the groove, let's start to add extra action-steps or habits that will push you further ahead on your journey. Finding a healthy balance in any area of life can be difficult, I am here to help you every step of the way of this path to Nourish yourself and become comfortable maintaining healthy dietary choices.

Your first session with Marcelina

In the first session with myself, please don't be alarmed by my many questions! I will start my getting to know you and introducing myself a bit more so we get comfortable with each other. I want to learn about what make you, you and why behind it all. This is very much a collaborative process, so I will make sure you feel heard when we are working on a personalized plan of care. We will end with setting expectations that you and Nourish has for looking ahead on your path.
