About Stefanie

Hi! I’m Stefanie Mael, MS, RDN. I’m a compassionate, evidence-driven Registered Dietitian with a strong foundation in clinical nutrition and a genuine passion for helping people feel supported, understood, and empowered in their health journeys. I’ve worked across a variety of clinical settings, including hospitals and an eating disorder treatment center, where I learned the power of empathy, clear communication, and meeting people exactly where they are. I love working with teens, young adults, and anyone who wants to feel more confident and at ease with food, fueling, and their overall well-being.

Approach to care

My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in helping you build habits that fit your life. I’m especially passionate about sports nutrition, adolescent health, and guiding people through the messy, human parts of nutrition with compassion and zero judgment. My goal is to make you feel supported, understood, and truly heard.

Your first session with Stefanie

In our first session, we’ll talk about your goals, what brought you here, and what you’re hoping to accomplish. I’ll get to know your routines and what kind of support feels best for you. You’ll leave with a clear next step and a sense of direction feeling heard, supported, and ready to move forward.
