About Mary

Hello! I’m Mary, a Registered Dietitian in Des Moines, Iowa. I completed undergrad at Iowa State University with a Bachelor’s of Science in Dietetics. I then completed my dietetic internship at UC San Diego health, rotating through experiences in Clinical Nutrition, Food Service Management, Community/Ambulatory Nutrition, & Research. I have worked in a variety of settings and think telehealth is a practical and useful approach to managing your health. I am passionate about health, food, and fitness. I’m an avid runner and enjoy spending time with my family.

Approach to care

I believe in an individualized approach to care that is sustainable and balanced. I am an advocate of mindful and intuitive eating to improve one’s relationship with food and eating. I think increasing one’s self awareness around behaviors and motivations for change can help one be successful in achieving health goals.

Your first session with Mary

At our first session, I like to get to know you and your health priorities and goals. We will discuss medical history, current and past diet and eating behaviors, medical conditions or concerns, health goals, and motivation. It is helpful to see what has or hasn't worked well for you to be successful in making long-lasting, sustainable improvements to your health.
