What to expect
Each non-diet nutrition therapy starts with an Initial Nutrition Assessment — a 1-1.5 hour deep-dive video call where I ask you questions like:
- How do you feel about your current eating behaviors?
- What messages about body image did you receive during your upbringing?
- Do you experience any guilt or shame related to eating certain foods?
- What is your history with eating and dieting?
- Do you tend to eat differently when alone compared to when with others?
- How much time do you spend thinking about food and your body?
- If you could wave a magic wand and change something about how you eat, what would it be?
Eating well involves many factors, some of which are beyond our control, such as social determinants of health. However, we focus on the elements you can control to help you feel energized and fulfilled.
“Thank you so much, Marissa! I feel hopeful and excited about this and about trying to eat healthy for the first time in a long time. You are so kind and knowledgeable and I really felt heard. I’m definitely going to add in these things 😃 ” — Mary M.
“Thank you for giving me the confidence, Marissa, that I need to remember who I am and to keep going with this. I really appreciate our time together and work.”

“You really have a talent to bring nutrition education into a format that is easy to understand and motivates me to try to hit tricky goals, like fiber, that I’d otherwise not think about. I’m really going to miss your down to earth, no fuss advice!” — Daisy P.
A Peek Into My Process: How We Work Together
Imagine feeling at peace with food, confident in your choices, and fully supported along your journey to health.
Hi, I’m Marissa. I have worked as a registered dietitian since 2010 and have helped countless teens and adults break free from diet culture’s toxic grip.
My approach? It’s about tuning into your body’s needs and fostering a positive, stress-free relationship with food. In our sessions, you can expect a client-centered, compassionate, evidenced-based approach tailored to your unique challenges and goals.
When we work together, it’s a partnership. You bring your lived experience, and I bring my expertise in non-diet nutrition therapy.
We’ll tackle your primary concerns, all through a lens of kindness, balance, and sustainability.

It’s Empowering
You are in the driver’s seat of your health; I am merely your guide.

I empower YOU to take the reins of control back and aim to teach you how to manage your nutritional life independently.

- If you have labs or medications, we’ll review them through a non-diet lens. No scare tactics, just clear, compassionate explanations of what they mean for your health.
- We’ll talk supplements if needed. I’ll help you figure out what’s helpful, what’s not, and what might be missing.
- We’ll set 1-3 simple, doable goals. Nothing overwhelming. Just small steps you actually feel ready to try between sessions.
- No judgment, no “shoulds,” no pressure. Just a supportive space to figure out what feels good for you and your health.
Follow-Up Sessions
45-minutes- Check in on what’s working, and what’s not. We’ll celebrate wins, troubleshoot challenges, and adjust as needed.
- Ongoing support for your relationship with food and your body. No judgment, just real talk and guidance tailored to where you are now.
- Flexible, client-centered sessions. Your needs might shift, and that’s okay: we’ll pivot together.
- Leave with a clear, simple action plan. Always practical, always focused on your growth and well-being.
