About Melissa

Hi, I’m Melissa, a registered dietitian who helps people cut through nutrition confusion and build habits that feel realistic and sustainable. With experience in clinical care, community nutrition and long‑term care, I’m skilled at turning complex nutrition needs into clear, practical steps that fit your daily life. I support patients navigating chronic conditions, feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice, or wanting to feel better in their bodies. My approach is warm, collaborative, and evidence‑based, with a focus on what you can add to your day-to-day life to reach your goals. Together, we’ll create a plan that feels doable, reduces stress around food, and celebrates victories both on and off the scale. I’m here to help you feel confident, informed, and supported on your nutrition journey.

Approach to care

My philosophy is to combine evidence‑based nutrition with practical guidance. I help patients understand the “why” behind their nutrition needs and translate that into simple steps that fit their routines. I aim to meet my patients where you are and empower you to make informed choices and feel confident in your relationship with food.

Your first session with Melissa

In our first session, we’ll slow down and get a clear picture of where you are right now, so we can map out where you’d like to go together. I’ll ask about your health history, the symptoms that are showing up in your day‑to‑day life, and what your routines look like. Nothing needs to be perfect; this is just a chance for me to understand your world. From there, we’ll talk through both short‑term and long‑term goals and choose a few realistic steps you can start with right away. My hope is that you leave our first session feeling heard, supported, and confident about the direction we’re heading
