About Marisa

Hi, my name is Marisa. I am a registered dietitian. I live in Phoenix, Arizona. I have done a variety of different specialties and focus areas, since I have become a dietitian in 2003. The last 8 years, I have worked primarily in Pediatrics with patients with complex congenital heart disease. I love being there for moms and families. I love being able to give the tools possible for babies, children and adults to thrive.

Approach to care

I want to know about you and your child, where you have been with health, life and nutrition. I want to work with your family and make a plan that is feasible and works for you and your family. I believe in less is more. I understand that most patients and families have enough on their plate, with frequent doctor appointments, multiple daily medications and treatments. Nutrition goals should enhance overall health not complicate it.

Your first session with Marisa

I want to get to know you and your family, including your daily routine. I would like to learn as much as possible about your medical history, any specialists you see, your PCP and coordinating care. I want to know what has worked and not worked.
