Hello! My name is Marisa. I want to congratulate you. Making changes is definitely not an easy task. When considering the outpouring of diet options available in the social media realm, we are unable to escape the barrage of alternatives that appear to be “the right solution for all.”
I have been a Registered Dietitian for almost 10 years, and an avid learner of Nutrition and Dietetics since I can remember. I love this profession! I love reading about it and enjoy explaining it in simple terms. Nutrition science is an ever evolving discipline. My clients will always benefit from the most up-to-date information.
My credentials in Dietetics encompass both working in the fast paced environment in hospitals ICU units, but also conducting Nutrition workshops to large groups as well as individual consulting sessions. I specialize in Obesity and have experience consulting patients taking anti-obesity medication
During our first sessions, I will take my time to listen and learn what are your expectations of me as your Dietitian and what would be your desired goals. Once the initial rapport has been built during our initial assessment, we will together plan measurable goals decided by you along with my guidance and support. The follow up sessions are to follow progress, wherever you are; there is no such thing as failure - just feedback!
Personally, I feel accomplished when patients share that their blood work has improved, or when clients learn to prefer sustainable, balanced healthy nutrition. I know this can happen for you, too!
Please take pride in showing curiosity on improving your knowledge in how Nutrition can work for you. There is a lot left to explore, and I want to assure you: You will not be alone in this journey!
