For Melissa’s Nutrition Classes & Counseling
You should be able to have your cake and eat it too! In other words, mealtime is more than just about the sum of its nutrients. Food should be enjoyable and celebrated. Skip the feelings of deprivation and embrace a lifestyle filled with energy, peace, and greater fulfillment. Since nutrition is not a one-size-fits-all phenomenon, self-navigating through your health concerns can be overwhelming and confusing.
With my extensive background in clinical, clinical research, education, wellness, and private practice nutrition counseling, I have the expertise to enable your success. With 18 years of teaching functional foods (phytonutrients, vitamins/minerals, and safe supplements), kids nutrition, sports nutrition, and eco-friendly eating (organic, plant-based, and sustainable), I’ve nurtured several specialties. As a passionate life-long learner, staying up to date on the latest nutritional research is essential for me to provide you with the best level of care.
With the Registered Dietitian Credential (RD/RDN), a graduate degree in Nutrition Education that focused on behavioral change, you have access to expert nutrition counseling and health guidance to address your health concern or disease process.
Each session, we’ll measure your progress and set new goals to facilitate your success best. As part of your support system, I will answer your questions or address your nutritional concerns to help you overcome any barriers to change. Let me be your helping hand to live your best life.
First, my role is to listen to best understand your unique health concerns and goals. Your feelings, symptoms, challenges, history, and insights will always be heard. After all, teamwork makes the dream work!
Are you ready to change your life? Let’s do it together—as a team.

Balanced nutrition contributes to positive spiritual, physical, and mental health. Often, additional tools are needed to help manage underlying contributors to health concerns. After all, eating habits are influenced by more than just the contents of the fridge. Together in your nutrition coaching sessions, we’ll address variables affecting mealtime patterns such as stress, sleep, and time management. You’ll find my clients improve mindfulness and learn practical strategies to enable positive behavioral changes no matter their age. I’m a strong advocate for individualized solutions, not generalized suggestions. Live your best life—whatever that looks like for you!
Navigating safe supplements can be overwhelming and difficult. As a past adjunct professor for close to 20 years, I taught the holistic use and benefits of phytonutrients, supplements, vitamins, and minerals. I have the expertise to best guide your needs. Whether you’re looking for supplements as a complementary or replacement treatment for health concerns such as high cholesterol, pain management, viral syndrome, or other health conditions—I’ll find what’s right for you. I recommend a variety of high-quality, reputable brands to best suit your needs, with no financial incentive or kick-backs.
