About Marisa
Hi, I’m Marisa, a Denver, Colorado based Registered Dietitian with 13 years of experience helping people reach their nutrition and health goals. I have a degree in Nutrition and Food Sciences and have practiced in hospital settings, dialysis, and outpatient care. Outside of work, I enjoy baking, teaching dance fitness, and spending time with my family.
Approach to care
My care philosophy is evidence based, empathetic, and collaborative. I stay current with science and translate it into practical, sustainable plans. We’ll work together to identify small, doable steps that fit your life and your pace. I embrace Health At Every Size (HAES) and focus on behaviors and well-being rather than dieting culture or weight alone. I take a holistic view, honoring mind, body, sleep, and stress, so you can build lasting habits with confidence. I also specialize in nutrition related to kidney disease including ESRD and CKD.
Your first session with Marisa
Our first appointment is a zero pressure conversation about you and your goals. We'll review your medical history, discuss your goals and what has or hasn’t worked before. This is a collaborative space where you can be honest and curious. You don’t need to have every detail ready; we’ll normalize that this is the start of a process. By the end, we’ll set a couple of short term goals and outline practical steps we can begin together to reach your goals. I look forward to meeting with you and supporting you through your health journey!
