About Marisa

I’m Marisa, a Registered Dietitian who’s all about making nutrition simple, approachable, and—most importantly—enjoyable. Food should nourish both your body and your life, and I’m 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 you’re looking to feel better, manage a health condition, or take the stress out of meal planning, I’ll meet you where you are with practical, no-judgment guidance. I’ve worked in a little bit of everything—clinical nutrition, community education, and even restaurant management—so I know that food is personal, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. My expertise lies in metabolic health and weight management. Let’s 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 one’s own culture and preferences. Our diet is more than just what we habitually eat—it’s a reflection of our family history, traditions, and personal experiences. My approach is to always return to the simple things—focusing 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 we’ll 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 that’s 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 you—your health goals, lifestyle, and what nutrition means in your life. We’ll dive into your personal food habits, portion sizes, cooking skills, and favorite foods to create a plan that feels natural and enjoyable. Beyond food, we’ll 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!
