About Melissa
Hey! My name is Mel. I have been a dietitian for over 10 years and love helping others build their nutrition, work towards their health goals, and improve their quality of life. I think it is important when we are making changes that it improves all 3 areas.
Approach to care
When working together we will look at your current relationship with food and health. From here we will see where you would like to focus and how to fit your goals into your everyday life. I am here to support you in your growth. Change is hard and does not have to be a solo effort.
Your first session with Melissa
In our first session expect for us to get to know one another. It is very important to me to build a trusting relationship, which I understand has not always been there for all in our system of care. I will ask a lot of questions to better understand you, your health, and your goals.
Education
Master of Science in Nutrition Masters certificate in public health
Hobbies
I love tennis and being able to be outside with friends. You will always catch me actively in a book! And spending time with my family and dogs either doing yoga, gardening or trying a new coffee shop. My top 2 values are family and fun.
