About Melania
My name is Melania and I have been a Registered Dietitian for 40 years. I have extensive inpatient and outpatient counseling experience in multiple specialties. I love working with clients to help them achieve better metabolic health through improved nutrition and lifestyle habits.
Approach to care
My approach to care is individual-based. This includes, but is not limited to, goals, obstacles, and past experiences and relationships with food. I believe it is important to meet each client where they currently are and work together to form a roadmap that can be mutually mapped.
Your first session with Melania
My goal with each client is to make them feel comfortable enough to share information about their current and past experiences with food, along with their medical history, and struggles with achieving their goals. I believe it is imperative to get to know each person as an individual, which can include their hobbies and dreams.
