About Marcy

Hi, I’m Marcy. I’m a Registered Dietitian with 30 years of experience and a Bachelor of Science in Food and Nutrition from the University of Alabama. I’ve spent time in both community health, home health, and clinical outpatient settings, where I learned that lasting change comes from listening and partnership. I’m also a Certified Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, which keeps me focused on practical, education-forward care that fits your daily life. When I’m not helping clients, you can find me hiking, sailing, or traveling. I’m glad you’re here.

Approach to care

I believe in evidence-based, compassionate care that meets you where you are. We’ll work from a foundation of current science while honoring your lived experience, daily routines, and goals. My approach is warm and non-judgmental, with clear, action-oriented steps you can actually follow. I practice with a Health At Every Size lens, focusing on sustainable behavior changes rather than dieting culture. I see you as a whole person, and I’ll educate you along the way so you feel confident making informed choices. We'll do this together.

Your first session with Marcy

Our first appointment is all about you. We’ll review your medical history, look over lab work and biomarkers, and identify your goals. This is a low-pressure, welcoming conversation designed to reduce any nerves. You don’t need to have it all figured out; we’ll meet you where you are and build a plan that fits your life. We'll talk about what matters most, what has or hasn’t worked before, and together we’ll set 1-2 clear next steps to start your sustainable journey toward better health.
