About Melanie

Hi! My name is Melanie. I am a Registered Dietitian with a passion for helping people look and feel their absolute best. I specialize in weight management, muscle strength, fitness, and healthy weight gain — blending evidence-based nutrition with real-life balance. I’m a total fitness junkie and proud protein enthusiast, and I love empowering my clients to fuel their bodies, build strength, and finally feel confident in their skin. My approach is simple: nourish more, not less — and watch your body thrive. 💪✨

Approach to care

I meet every patient where they are — breaking down barriers, rebuilding confidence, and making the process feel achievable (and even fun). Through mindful nutrition practices, personalized guidance, and sustainable habits, I help take the stress out of reaching your goals. Together, we focus on progress, not perfection — so you can nourish your body, strengthen your mindset, and truly thrive inside and out.

Your first session with Melanie

In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know you — your daily lifestyle, eating habits, routines, and what truly matters to you. Together, we’ll uncover any barriers that have held you back and begin creating realistic, sustainable strategies that fit your life. We’ll set small, achievable goals that build confidence and momentum — because meaningful, lasting change comes from consistent steps that lead to big results over time.
