About Marissa
Hello! My name is Marissa and I have been an RD for 5 years. I have been married to my awesome husband for 5 years and have two little boys. I love to go for walks outside, work on projects with my husband, and spend time with extended family and friends over a good meal!
Approach to care
I believe that the food we eat is deeply personal and a way of connecting with those around us. Our food should not be a burden or something that preoccupies our mind-it should be a part of what makes us thrive. I will make any therapeutic diet or desired food changes sync into the life you are already leading and provide guidance on incorporating new eating/cooking habits to help you reach your goals.
Your first session with Marissa
I'd like to learn who you are, your history with food/dieting, and the main reason(s) you have decided to use Nourish. After understanding your goals, I'd like to learn what barriers to accomplishing your goals you've been experiencing. On the flip side, if you are looking to start new habits, I'd like to know what those are. I would also like to understand what motivates you the most to change and the styles of learning you find most helpful. Finally, I'd like to know what would be most beneficial for you in regards to being in partnership with me-do you need accountability? more resources? specialized meal planning? I look forward to working with you on your health journey!
