Background
Hi! My name is Maci. I have been a dietitian for about 7 years. I received my bachelor's degree in nutrition from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I went on to do my dietetic internship along with my Master's degree in nutrition at Saint Louis University. I am originally from Minnesota, but have always wanted to get away from the cold. Thus, our move to North Carolina. I am married and we have a dog, Murphy. My husband and I enjoy being outside- walking, hiking, kayaking, traveling, etc. We love nature and wildlife. I am a huge sports fan and cheer on the Wisconsin badgers, MN Vikings, and MN Twins. Oh and I am really into baking, specifically sourdough :)
Why did I become a dietitian and how can I help you? I love food. I love physiology. I love how the God created the human body- so complex, so amazing, so reliant on FOOD and nutrition. I also love working with people and helping people. Combine my love for food, physiology, and helping people and that lead me to pursuing nutrition and dietetics as a career. When I graduated and got my dietitian license, I went to work in a hospital and my most recent job was in dialysis. I loved my time in these settings, but also craved for more. I want to be on the more proactive side and I want to work 1: 1 with people to help achieve their nutrition goals, thus, private practice. My areas of expertise include Gastrointestinal issues, dialysis/kidney failure, and recently PREGNANCY nutrition. I would love to work with you if you are preparing to have a child or are already pregnant and you want to learn more on how to nourish your baby and yourself better through pregnancy.
What can you expect to take away from sessions with me? You can expect for me to listen to your needs/desires in our sessions. I will individualize my recommendations to what you need/desire. You can expect me to be non-judgmental. You can expect me to find the answers to any of your questions that I do not know. You can expect me to truly care about you and find specific ways to help you. You will take away new information and ways to apply that information to achieve your goals. I am so excited to work with you!

"As your dietitian, I will be non-judgmental, open-minded, and will listen to what YOU need and want when it comes to nutrition.
