About Melanie

Hello! My name is Melanie and I have been a Registered Dietitian for six years. I grew up in Connecticut and eight years ago moved to sunny Naples, Florida with my husband. Nutrition is a big part of my life. As I got older I started to love food and understand the nutrition that comes with it. Through that I found my passion and something I really want to get into and help people. I believe all foods fit and you should be able to enjoy it as well as have a good relationship with it. I really enjoy helping and watching people achieve their goals without extreme diets or feeling deprived.

Approach to care

My approach is practical, supportive, and enjoyable. I focus on realistic goals that fit into your lifestyle so you can build habits that last. There is so much nutrition information out everywhere sometimes it can get a bit overwhelming if you are not familiar with it. If your looking to manage a health condition, make better food choices, or build a healthier relationship with eating I can help. Together we will work to create a plan that fits your life and focus on building habits that work for you.

Your first session with Melanie

Our first session will be all about getting to know you. I will build a relationship with you where you can feel comfortable talking with me. We will talk about your health history, eating habits, activity level, and what has or has not worked for you in the past. I will be here to listen and understand your goals, lifestyle, and your relationship with food. We will discuss any questions you have. Most of all we will build a plan together that supports your health and lifestyle. At the end of the session you will have a few small, realistic steps to get you started. If you are ready for a supportive, judgement free space to work on your nutrition I would love to meet you.
