About Melissa
My background has been working in the hospital setting over the past 22 years which has given me the incredible opportunity to experience a large variety of people with different backgrounds and health conditions for a whole body nutrition viewpoint. I have worked with infants as well as older adults and everyone in-between.
Approach to care
My approach to care is understanding that everyone has a different story and food is key to learning about each person's health and well being. I want to work together to make all foods fit into your life. Food can certainly be medicine but I also believe it is meant to be enjoyed. Let's find a way to help it be both.
Your first session with Melissa
Please expect that I am here to listen and help. I want to find achievable goals that can be worked on from one session to the next. I will establish a general health and food history and we will work from there. I never want this to be overwhelming or unattainable to you.
