About Marissa

Hi! I'm so glad you're here :) My name is Marissa and I've been a dietitian since 2015. 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!
