Background

Hi, my name is Melissa! I'm a Registered Dietitian and Intuitive Eating Coach with a passion for helping individuals create sustainable lifestyle changes. I received my bachelor's degree from Rutgers University and continued my education at Saint Elizabeth University where I completed my master's in nutrition and dietetic Internship.

I take a client-centered approach, working collaboratively with you to design a program that fits your unique lifestyle and goals. My focus is empowering you to make informed choices and embrace a healthier, more balanced way of eating with a positive relationship with food.

In my free time I enjoy cooking new recipes and sharing them with friends and family. I love being outdoors in the warm weather and reading a book under a blanket when it's cold.

I look forward to working with you!
