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 help clients move away from rigid food rules toward a more balanced approach to eating. My focus is on supporting sustainable health habits that fit real life—helping you nourish your body, improve your well-being, and rebuild trust with food. Each session is a supportive, judgment-free space where you’ll gain practical tools, clarity, and confidence, so you leave feeling empowered, informed, and ready to care for your health in a way that truly works for you. I also specialize in clinical nutrition support, including enteral nutrition (tube feeding) and parenteral nutrition (TPN). I work closely with patients to develop individualized nutrition plans that support medical needs, promote healing, and improve quality of life. My approach combines evidence-based practice with compassionate care, ensuring patients and families feel informed, supported, and confident in managing complex nutrition therapies.

Your first session with Marissa

I'd like to learn who you are, your history with food or nutrition support, and the main reason(s) you have decided to use Nourish. After understanding your goals, I'd like to learn what barriers you've been experiencing in reaching your goals. 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!
