Michelle Manson

About Michelle

I am a passionate dietitian and educator with over 20 years of experience in areas like clinical nutrition, outpatient nutrition coaching, research, and university teaching. Some specific areas of interest include digestive disorders like IBS, eating well with food allergies, and prevention of chronic disease like diabetes and heart disease. I believe food should provide both nourishment and joy, and that "health" can take a wide variety of forms. I look forward to helping you find sustainable, enjoyable ways to meet your goals.

Approach to care

My approach to care is collaborative, individualized, and evidence-based. I will learn as much as I can about your unique situation, and work with you to create a plan to meet your health goals. Our work together will prioritize a positive relationship with food, research-based approaches (no fad diets here!) and a realistic plan that meets you right where you are.

Your first session with Michelle

In our first session I will spend time learning about your priorities, experiences, and challenges related to nutrition. We will explore some strategies and resources to support your progress. Finally, we will work together to figure out a sustainable plan to meet your specific short and long-term goals, broken down into manageable pieces you can start practicing right away.
