About Mary
Welcome ! I am grateful for my courageous patients:) They know great change comes from connection and consistency—not perfection. I came to this field through weight challenges and mercury toxicity accompanied by 20 conditions. Functional Medicine helped me heal, inspiring me to join the first RDs trained in this field.⭐️ I’m a NYS Certified RD/Nutritionist, Mind-Body Coach, and Integrative Functional Nutrition Practitioner. ⭐️ I’ve led programs in education, healthcare, organic/equine-therapy farms, retreat centers like Kripalu and Canyon Ranch +. ⭐️ My approach blends the true science of Fx Nutrition, experiential learning, mind-body and neuro-science based tools (healing includes regulation of 'daily stresses'.) ⭐️ With 20+ years in Equine Therapy and 30 training through IFM, CMBM, IFN Academy, and Onsite, I support areas of GI, immune, mental-health, hormonal, metabolic/weight, diabetes, prevention, healthy aging, medicinal detox and fasting.☮️visit:FunctionalNutritionSaratoga.com
Approach to care
As a Certified Functional Medicine RD, I take a whole-body lifestyle approach to this work that is sustainable to live with. I love helping people reach higher levels of health then they ever understood they could reach. Health and healing are all about Connections, so we work on connections to self and life. Our weekly personal team work = activation of restoration. This is what the body is best at. Main areas of FxMed.&Nutrition: ☮️ mindfulness/sleep (where restoration/transform occur), 🏃🏻♂️movement, 🍎 nutritional status, ⚡️inflammation 🗑️ toxicity 🦠microbiome health. Move beyond temporary fixes and perfection to enhance your relationship with food, your body, your life. Health and healing take time. Like climbing a mountain, we they take one personal step at a time forward into health they desire.
Your first session with Mary
My first couple of sessions is a time to pause and connect with ourselves and each other to learn if we are a good fit to work together. You can start supporting yourself with completing your patient onboarding assessment, giving us time to build more for you. in the sessions. Your body "knows" when it is supported. We will learn what we bring to the table as a team. I will listen to your story, history and current conditions including treatments, provider relationships (ie. therapists), meds/nutritional support, past dietitian/nutritionist experiences, needs, goals and expectations. I will share my thoughts about your needs and explain the areas I work with and the options you will always have. We are all individuals with personal needs. ⭐️Mary is supportive and is meeting me where I am and I really appreciate that. I also value her holistic approach that looks at all the pillars of health.
