Background

Hi there! I’m Merissa, a registered dietitian with a bachelor's and master’s degree in Medical Nutrition Therapy. My journey in nutrition is deeply personal; I’ve lost over 100 pounds myself, and that experience has profoundly shaped my approach to helping others.

Having struggled with weight and health for many years, I understand the challenges that come with making lasting changes. My own transformation taught me the importance of balance, self-compassion, and setting realistic goals. I know firsthand that every person’s journey is unique, and I strive to create a supportive and non-judgmental environment for my clients.

In my practice, I combine evidence-based nutrition science with empathy and understanding. I focus on helping clients find sustainable habits that fit their lifestyles, rather than promoting quick fixes. I believe that food should be nourishing, enjoyable, and culturally relevant, and I work closely with clients to discover what works best for them.

As a dietitian, I have experience working in inpatient and outpatient settings. I have experience working in weight management, long-term care, and the fitness industry. I’m excited to embark on this journey with you, and I look forward to supporting you in achieving your health goals!

Approach

"As a dietitian, my approach to working with clients is focused on building rapport and understanding your unique needs. When we first meet, I take the time to listen to your goals, challenges, and lifestyle. This isn’t just about food; it’s about your relationship with it and how it fits into your life. I focus on education and break down complex concepts into simple, actionable steps. We set realistic goals, and I support you in making gradual changes that fit your life"
