About Marcia

Hello, my name is Marcia! I've been a dietitian for over 25 years. My interest in nutrition began when I had family members struggling with health issues with diabetes and heart disease. My experience in an acute care setting along with outpatient counseling/community setting has provided me with a strong background in such areas as, diabetes, heart disease, general wellness, and weight loss. I am passionate about showing others how to prepare and cook healthy foods that work for your lifestyle. In my free time I enjoy throwing darts, gardening, and reading. Also, I enjoy spending time with my family and my two rescue dogs, Molly and Zoey.

Approach to care

I take an individualized approach to health. I like to delve into what approaches has and has not worked in the past. I like to incorporate small changes to help promote a lasting healthy lifestyle. I want to clarify nutrition information, so you can feel confident, stay motivated, and reach your health goals.

Your first session with Marcia

During our first session, I like to get to know you and complete a comprehensive assessment. I like to get a full understanding of your expectations of our time together and what you would like to see as a result. This will give us a solid foundation to regularly reflect on your goals and to provide ongoing support.
