About Melissa

Hi! I'm Melissa. I am a Registered Dietitian with over 7 years of experience working in the dietetics field. From helping patients in the hospital to help recover from illness and injuries, to working with individuals experiencing digestive diseases or battling cancer, I have done it all. It has been my career passion and joy to work one-on-one with individuals to better their health and lifestyle through nutrition. It is important to me that each person feels supported and empowered with not only information but the tools for lifelong health. I look forward to hearing your story and walking alongside you to provide support and accountability as you begin your journey to a healthier, happier version of you!

Approach to care

Healthcare can feel complex and overwhelming at times. Through a non-judgmental and personalized approach, I support my clients by simplifying the complex and creating realistic steps to reach their health goals. I take a non-diet approach which I believe empowers my clients to make lasting health and lifestyle changes. Through empathy and kindness, I will guide you each step of the way along your health journey.

Your first session with Melissa

In our first session together, we will spend time getting to know each other and I will learn about your daily rhythms and routines; this will help me personalize your care and my recommendations. We will discuss your health and wellness goals, and we'll begin working on a plan together to begin achieving those goals.

Education

Bachelor's of Science in Dietetics

Hobbies

In my spare time I enjoy cooking and coming up with new ways to provide balanced and appetizing meals for my young children. I enjoy being outdoors, and look for any opportunity to get outside everyday. Making nutrition and healthy living fun and exciting, with a whole lot of practicality, is something I strive to share with everyone I meet.
