About Melannie

Hi, I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and chef with almost two decades in the culinary world. As someone living with diabetes, thyroid disease, early menopause, and other chronic conditions, I understand the ups and downs of managing health firsthand. My passion is helping others feel empowered, nourished, and excited about food again.

Approach to care

My approach to care is compassionate, evidence-based, and individualized. I emphasize empowerment over restriction by developing sustainable nutrition strategies that align with your lifestyle and goals. Together, we will prioritize meaningful progress, consistency, and lasting change while keeping flavor and enjoyment integral to your health journey.

Your first session with Melannie

In your first session, we will take time to get to know each other. I will ask about your health history, lifestyle, eating habits, and goals so we can develop a plan that aligns with your needs. It is a supportive, judgment-free space where you can feel heard and understood. You will leave with clear next steps, practical strategies, and a plan that feels realistic and manageable. If you do not see a time that fits your schedule, please reach out to discuss availability.
