About Misty

I’m Misty, a Registered Dietitian with over 24 years of experience and a Board-Certified Specialist in Pediatric Nutrition. I’ve supported patients from premature infants to older adults, but my true passion is pediatrics and women’s health. I love helping families navigate picky eating, feeding tubes, and special diets, and I work closely with women through all life stages—including PCOS, thyroid issues, perimenopause, menopause, and pre/post-pregnancy nutrition. I also provide individualized care for patients with MCAS. A graduate of the University of Alabama (summa cum laude), I’ve worked nationwide as a Clinical Dietitian, served as Director of Health and Wellness for a medical group, and since 2020 have run my private practice supporting clients across the U.S. As a Certified Life Coach and mom of three, I promise a practical, judgment-free approach to help you and your family thrive.

Approach to care

I believe every person deserves someone on their side! I am dedicated to helping you feel confident in your food choices—without restrictive diets or guilt. My non-diet approach focuses on practical, sustainable habits that empower you to nourish your body in a way that works for you. Having gone through many of the same challenges—hormonally, through pregnancy, medically, and as a mom of three—I can truly relate to what you may be experiencing. Whether you’re managing weight, navigating a medically prescribed diet, or simply striving for overall well-being, I’m here to help every step of the way. Using evidence-based nutrition counseling, I’ll create a plan that is personalized, realistic, and unique to your stage of life.

Your first session with Misty

During our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other in a relaxed, judgment-free space. I want to hear about YOU - your medical history, eating habits, relationship with food, and what a typical day looks like for you eating wise. We’ll talk about your favorite foods, what you don’t enjoy, and any challenges you’ve faced with nutrition. Together, we’ll explore what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past and identify barriers that may be standing in your way. My goal is to understand the full picture—your goals, lifestyle, and unique needs—so we can begin building a foundation of trust and create a personalized plan that feels realistic and sustainable! I’m excited to meet you and support you every step of the way!!!
