About Melissa
Hello! I’m a registered dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. My passion is helping clients feel better about food and their bodies. I have a Bachelor’s in Nutritional Sciences from Cornell University and completed the Cornell Dietetic Internship. I specialize in irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux, disordered eating, high cholesterol, prediabetes, and digestive issues and I've worked in hospitals and long-term care with various health conditions. I care about providing non-judgmental, anti-diet, weight-inclusive care. Outside of nutrition, I love to dance and enjoy taking dance classes in NYC! 🩰💃🏻
Approach to care
I provide compassionate, collaborative nutrition therapy tailored to each client. I'm committed to fostering a supportive environment for individuals to address nutritional concerns and cultivate a healthy relationship with food and body. I embrace body diversity and promote intuitive eating, self-care, and self-compassion. My mission is to dismantle harmful diet culture narratives and guide clients toward sustainable, nourishing, and joyful lifestyles that honor their unique needs. Through evidence-based practices and ongoing education, I empower individuals to reclaim their autonomy with food and redefine health on their own terms.
Your first session with Melissa
In addition to getting to know you and your nutritional concerns, we’ll set realistic and useful goals to get you started on Day 1, and you’ll be well on your way to feeling better about food. Over the course of our collaborative work together you can expect to notice dramatic improvements in how you feel about your dietary habits and relationship with food and body. My working hours are 9-5pm EST M-F for follow-ups and we will typically set a month's worth of weekly follow-ups together in our first session!
