About Melissa

My journey into nutrition began with a year of volunteer work in Ecuador, where I gained valuable insight into the importance of accessible and practical nutrition. Since then, I’ve focused my career on prenatal, postpartum, and child nutrition, providing individualized, evidence-based care to ensure long-term health and wellness. I'm mom to two amazing boys and love spending time outside with them, watching them build forts, play sports, or riding bike together. I currently live in South Florida. I was born and raised in central Minnesota and love going up to visit family and soaking up the Minnesota Nice! I also lived in Georgia for a few years and still feel a piece of my heart there!

Approach to care

As a Registered Dietitian with over a decade of experience, I am passionate about helping busy individuals and families find sustainable, realistic ways to fuel their bodies. I understand the challenges of balancing busy lifestyles, which is why my approach centers on creating easy, low-stress nutrition solutions. I strive to empower my clients with the knowledge and tools they need to nourish themselves and their families in a way that fits seamlessly into their lives.

Your first session with Melissa

In your first session with me, you can expect a warm, welcoming environment where we’ll take the time to discuss your unique needs and goals. I’ll listen carefully to your lifestyle, challenges, and preferences, and together, we’ll create a personalized nutrition plan that is practical, evidence-based, and designed to reduce stress while supporting your health no matter how busy life gets.
