About Melanie
Hey there! I’m Melanie, a passionate, evidence-based dietitian dedicated to helping people thrive through the power of nutrition. With a strong foundation in clinical practice, I will help you feel your best by making nutrition simple, practical, and actually enjoyable. Whether you’re trying to manage a chronic condition, level up your energy or just figure out what the heck to eat for lunch, I’ve got you covered with nutrition tips that support your health, fit your lifestyle, and don’t feel like a chore.
Approach to care
My approach is rooted in compassion and clarity—translating complex nutritional science into practical, personalized strategies that fit real lives. Whether you’re navigating a new diagnosis, looking to optimize your meals, or simply curious about how food can fuel your goals, I offer guidance that’s credible, empowering, and judgement free.
Your first session with Melanie
During your first appointment, we will review your medical history, current lifestyle and dietary habits, and discuss your health goals. In addition, we will explore past barriers to change, if applicable. We will aim to set short- and long-term goals and create a personalized plan just for you. Let’s make eating healthy less overwhelming and more empowering-one bite at a time.
