About Melissa

I’m a registered dietitian nutritionist, registered yoga teacher, and former competitive dancer who believes that true wellness goes beyond what’s on your plate. My approach blends evidence-based nutrition counseling with mindfulness and mind-body practices to help you reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom — building sustainable habits that nourish body, mind, and heart.

I specialize in supporting individuals navigating disordered eating, IBS, hormonal conditions like PCOS/PMOS and Hashimoto’s, and the everyday stress that makes it hard to feel balanced and well. My background in clinical nutrition, behavioral health, and movement means I meet you where you are — without judgment, quick fixes, or restrictive plans.

Whether you’re healing your relationship with food, managing a health condition, or simply wanting more energy and ease in your daily life, I create a collaborative and supportive space where real, lasting change can take root.
