About Melissa

Hi! I'm Missy, a Registered Dietitian originally from the rolling rural hills of Pennsylvania where I was raised on a dairy farm! The mountains of Colorado called me west and is now where I call home. As a dietitian I enjoy collaborating with patients with a wide variety of medical conditions, providing nutritional and dietary recommendations for the prevention of and management of symptoms of chronic illness using the foundation of food and movement as medicine for healing, attaining personal health related goals and living their best life.

Approach to care

Through collaboration we will devise a nutrition plan that is individualized based on your values using an anti-diet approach for optimal health and wellness. Together we will navigate the perceived barriers to making positive lifestyle changes in order to meet your personal health goals. I provide education and support for empowering you to make healthy choices that are achievable and sustainable. Food is one of the greatest joys in life! I am here to support you on your journey to better health and wellness!

Your first session with Melissa

During the first session, we will get to know one another and start to develop a plan to address your nutrition concerns. There will be lots of questions asked but hopefully it won't be too overwhelming! We'll talk about your diet history and what a typical day of eating looks like for you, food preferences, knowledge of nutrition, medical history, lifestyle habits, your physical activity level and discuss your health related goals. By the end of the session, we'll have a plan for what to expect for upcoming sessions and end with actionable steps to get started including one goal to get your health journey under way!
