About Melizza

Hello my name is Melizza! I am a seasoned Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. I have focused the majority of my career on chronic conditions, cardiac health, chronic kidney disease, nutrition support (Tube Feeding), wound care and weight management specifically Bariatric surgery. I am familiar with diet texture modifications (IDDSI platform) and menu planning. I understand the day to day struggle of making healthy nutrition choices while also juggling work, family, and social commitment. I provide real-life nutrition recommendations and evidenced-based education tailored to your individual situation and concerns.

Approach to care

Telehealth allows me to provide accessible, flexible nutrition care while meeting clients where they are, in real-life environments that support lasting change. You’ll leave with clear, personalized recommendations and next steps. Follow-up resources or summaries will be provided after your session. There is no pressure to make drastic changes. This is not a one-size-fits-all plan—everything is individualized to you.

Your first session with Melizza

We’ll discuss your health goals, concerns, and what led you to seek nutrition support. I’ll review your medical history, lab work (if available), and current eating patterns. You’ll have plenty of time to ask questions—this is a judgment-free, supportive space. Together, we’ll identify realistic nutrition strategies that fit your lifestyle.
