About Megan

Hi there! My name is Megan, and I have been a Registered Dietitian for over 6 years. Throughout my time as a Registered Dietitian, I have had the privilege of working with a wide range of patient populations and medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, heart failure, POTS, digestive health, oncology, GLP-1 management, diabetes/pre-diabetes, alpha-gal, food allergies, and many more. This has given me the ability to deepen my knowledge on a wide range of topics, and continue to learn throughout my career! I am confident my passion for food and nutrition will help you on your journey and leave you feeling motivated after each visit.

Approach to care

I believe a patient-centered, evidence-based approach is paramount to your care. It is my top priority to establish a comforting, positive space for you each session. We will work on creating "stepping stone" goals in order to achieve your ultimate goals and needs. Each individual's nutrition journey is unique, and I strive to individualize each patient's care to their specific needs.

Your first session with Megan

During your first session, we will start by getting to know each other and establishing a trusting connection. I will ask about your daily routine, pertinent medical history, goals, expectations, and barriers. From there, we will work together to establish strategies and realistic steps to achieve your goals. We will conclude each session reviewing steps to work toward until the next session and addressing any questions/concerns you may have. I aim for you to feel motivated and inspired at the end of each session together!
