Patient reviews
“Melissa is so attentive and it's a joy to speak with her each week. She's been coaching me for 3 months, and so far, I've lost 10lbs with healthier eating habits and my Zepbound prescription. I love how she takes the time to understand my goals, and sets realistic nutrition targets that fit my lifestyle. With the macronutrient targets she set for me, I'm losing weight at a healthy pace, maintaining muscle and not experiencing any negative side effects from my medication. Highly recommend her!“

“Marissa is excellent! She is kind, genuine, and put me at ease. We started with small manageable changes that helped to build a strong foundation. In my case, much of that work has been focused on unlearning diet culture. She has helped me repair my relationship with food and find freedom in releasing the moral judgements and restrictive rules I used to let guide me. And she’s done it with incredible kindess, compassion, and empathy. “

“Marissa is amazing. I started seeing her upon a recommendation for Nourish from a friend. Marissa came up in my list of nutritionists and seemed like a great match due to her background - especially weight loss and sports & performance nutrition. From day one Marissa made me feel comfortable. She’s super friendly, knowledgeable and takes her time explaining all the things you need to know. I’m super happy with my progress and I’m excited to see what happens in the future. “

About Marissa
Hi! I'm so glad you're here :) My favorite part about working as a dietitian is that I get to meet so many people and help them achieve their health goals. I've worked in a variety of dietetics roles encompassing nutrition coaching, school nutrition, foodservice, clinical, and community nutrition but my favorite has been working one-on-one with clients. In addition to nutrition, I am also very passionate about exercise and joyful movement. Outside of work you can find me being active in the great outdoors or in the gym.
Approach to care
I believe that all foods can fit in the context of a healthy lifestyle. I am here to empower you to make informed choices in your everyday life so that you can succeed long term. Sustainability is the name of the game! Together, we will create an individualized plan based on sustainable, nourishing habits that celebrate the pleasure of eating and support your health goals. Whether you'd like to improve your performance in a sport or in the gym, lose weight, gain muscle, improve your relationship with food, or learn how to eat healthier, I've got you covered.
Your first session with Marissa
In our first meeting together I want to get to know all about YOU! Besides nutrition, I want to know about your lifestyle, hobbies, habits, goals, and what prompted you to sign up with me. I take a holistic approach that encompasses learning more about you than just what you eat, because that's just one piece of the whole puzzle! My goal is for our sessions to be fun and collaborative. You will leave our first session with a small, realistic goal to get you started on your journey. I can't wait to meet you!
