About Marisa
Iâm Marisa, a Registered Dietitian whoâs all about making nutrition simple, approachable, andâmost importantlyâenjoyable. Food should nourish both your body and your life, and Iâm here to help you find that balance in a way that works for you. I strive to build meaningful connections with my clients, creating a supportive space where you feel heard and empowered. Whether youâre looking to feel better, manage a health condition, or take the stress out of meal planning, Iâll meet you where you are with practical, no-judgment guidance. Iâve worked in a little bit of everythingâclinical nutrition, community education, and even restaurant managementâso I know that food is personal, and thereâs no one-size-fits-all approach. My expertise lies in metabolic health and weight management. Letâs work together to create a plan that helps you feel your best, so you can enjoy life and do what you love!
Approach to care
I believe food should be approachable and reflective of oneâs own culture and preferences. Our diet is more than just what we habitually eatâitâs a reflection of our family history, traditions, and personal experiences. My approach is to always return to the simple thingsâfocusing on the basics that make the biggest impact. Nutrition plays a key role in overall health, but so do factors like exercise, sleep, stress management, and emotional well-being, all of which weâll discuss throughout our sessions. I focus on progress over perfection, helping you make sustainable changes. My goal is to help you navigate these areas in a way thatâs realistic, inclusive, and personalized.
Your first session with Marisa
You can expect to chat about all things food and wellness! Our first session is all about getting to know youâyour health goals, lifestyle, and what nutrition means in your life. Weâll dive into your personal food habits, portion sizes, cooking skills, and favorite foods to create a plan that feels natural and enjoyable. Beyond food, weâll explore other key aspects of health, including your physical activity and exercise routines, sleep habits, and overall lifestyle. In our sessions, you can expect to set goals together to keep you moving forward and feeling your best!
