About Mary Catherine

Hi! I’m Mary Catherine. I am a Registered Dietitian in Louisiana and have 6 years of experience in mostly research, weight-loss surgery, general nutrition, and weight loss. I have successfully converted my husband into a vegetable enjoyer and am raising a crazy- fun toddler son (and his 9 year old furry brother).

Approach to care

If you are looking for an empathetic and knowledgeable coach to walk with you through your nutrition journey, I am the perfect fit for you! As a dietitian, I prioritize making my patients feel seen, heard, and understood. I am passionate about food being part of our identity and I will work to honor that identity during our time together. I am intentional and thorough on my disease education and how nutrition might impact your condition. My priority is for you to gain mastery over your health and wellness and I will provide you the tools to get there!

Your first session with Mary Catherine

As a dietitian who focuses on a client centered approach, we will spend our first session together getting to know each other. I’ll ask some questions to learn about your relationship with food and your main nutritional concerns. I’ll then provide nutrition education and finish by walking with you through goal setting.

Education

I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Louisiana State University with a Bachelors of Science in Nutrition and Food Science and a minor in Communications. I completed my Dietetic Internship at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Additionally I have completed the Early Life Nutrition Alliance 8-week course in fertility nutrition.

Hobbies

My favorite hobby is to cook! As a Lebanese American and Cajun, I love blending my culture into dishes to share with family and friends. When I am not cooking, I love to play with my toddler, take workout classes, read, and take walks with my husband, son, and dog, Sammy!
