About Melannie
Hi, Iâm a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and chef with nearly 20 years of experience in the culinary world. I live with diabetes, autoimmune thyroid disease, early menopause, and other chronic conditionsâso I know how overwhelming health challenges can be. My goal is to help you feel your best and enjoy food along the way.
Approach to care
My approach to care is compassionate, realistic, and personalized. I focus on helping you feel empoweredânot restrictedâby creating sustainable nutrition strategies that work with your lifestyle, not against it. Together, weâll prioritize progress over perfection, and always keep flavor and joy at the center of your health journey.
Your first session with Melannie
In your first session, weâll take time to get to know each other. Iâll ask about your health history, lifestyle, eating habits, and goals so we can create a plan that truly fits you. Itâs a judgment-free space where you can feel heard and supported. Youâll leave with clear next steps, practical tips, and a plan that feels doableânot overwhelming.
