Maria Walcott

About Maria

With 15 years experience as a Registered Dietitian, I have helped many patients with various health issues. I specialize in gastrointestinal issues (constipation, diarrhea, bloating, heartburn, bloating), food sensitivities, food allergies, celiac disease and/or gluten intolerance. Diet is such an important part of our lives and what you eat can change how you feel! Living with my own ongoing health and digestive issues has given me empathy and personal experience in the areas of gut health, food sensitivities and self care. I am very knowledgeable in special diets, including gluten free, dairy free, soy free, yeast free, sugar free, FODMAPs, grain free, Paleo, and AIP. I also love gardening and have a passion for "green living". How to take out processed foods, chemicals and more out of your diet and environment for overall health.

Approach to care

I use an integrative and functional or holistic approach. Everything can be connected with how you feel - the foods you eat, the liquids you consume, your sleep patterns, your stress levels. I respect your values and schedule, with a focus on sustainable habits rather than quick fixes. I am here to help you every step of the way, empowering you to make the changes that you want to make.

Your first session with Maria

We'll begin by reviewing your medical history and talking through your routines, preferences, and any challenges you’re facing, all in a low-pressure, judgment-free conversation. You don’t need to have everything figured out. Together we'll set a couple of short-term goals that feel achievable and outline practical first steps, so you leave with clarity and a plan you can actually try.
