About Melannie

Hi, I’m 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 conditions—so 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 empowered—not restricted—by creating sustainable nutrition strategies that work with your lifestyle, not against it. Together, we’ll 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, we’ll take time to get to know each other. I’ll ask about your health history, lifestyle, eating habits, and goals so we can create a plan that truly fits you. It’s a judgment-free space where you can feel heard and supported. You’ll leave with clear next steps, practical tips, and a plan that feels doable—not overwhelming. If I don't have an available time that suits you, please reach out.
