Background
Hi Everyone! My name is Makenna and I have been a Registered Dietitian for almost 5 years. I received both my Bachelors and Masters degrees from Marywood University. I have previously worked in a hospital setting and a community clinic. Throughout my time as a dietitian, I have worked with patients of various ages, medical conditions and socioeconomic statuses. Within the past few years, I have become more interested in working with those in the prenatal/perinatal/postnatal period. Some other areas of interest are working with those who have PCOS, are going through menopause, on GLP-1s or anything women's health related.
Some fun facts about me: I grew up in the Hershey, PA area. I am a huge fan of Philly sports, Go Birds! Baking is a true passion of mine and I find any opportunity to try to work on my baking skills. Fitness wise: I have tried multiple different classes throughout the year but have fallen in love with taking sculpt/pilates classes. I also lift weights throughout the week and like to run every so often. When I'm not working, you can find me out exploring the area I'm currently living in or watching college/NFL football with my boyfriend.

Approach
"All of our sessions will be laid back to make you feel comfortable to share whatever you feel is important. During the sessions we will focus on goals that you have not only set for yourself but also goals that we set together. Accountability is going to be very important--I want you to be able to achieve the goals and continue to work on them on your own. The sessions will not be focused on the number on the scale but more importantly how you feel about the changes that you are making."
