About Melissa
My name is Melissa Gilman and I have been a registered dietitian for over 30 years. I have worked in a variety of healthcare settings including hospitals and outpatient clinics, helping to manage many different medical conditions but most of my time has been spent working in the areas of oncology, heart health, weight management, and chronic kidney disease. I enjoy working with clients to help them make small changes over time that become lifestyle changes toward a healthier future.
Approach to care
My approach to care is based on empathy and wanting to help each person reach their individual goals. I have worked in the field of nutrition and dietetics for over 30 years, with people with many different health concerns. I want people to feel comfortable and feel heard when we are working together, and to never feel judged, so that we can work together to make positive lifestyle changes. I believe balance is an important word and look forward to working with you on your journey to improve your health.
Your first session with Melissa
Our first session is an opportunity for me to learn about you, your lifestyle and your goals. We will take time to get to know each other so that I can best support you on your journey to improve your health.
