About Me

Hi, I’m Marissa, an intuitive eating dietitian who just returned from living in Europe for a year, where I had the incredible opportunity to experience culture through food. I’ve always believed food is more than just fuel: it’s connection, culture, tradition, love, and pleasure. Whether I was eating gelato in Italy or exploring spice markets in Turkey, this journey deepened my understanding of food’s role in our lives and reaffirmed what I know to be true: food is meant to be enjoyed.

In my work as a registered dietitian and certified intuitive eating counselor, I specialize in creating a safe, judgment-free space for clients to explore their unique relationships with food. I take a collaborative, client-centered approach — offering personalized strategies to help folks reconnect with their bodies, challenge diet culture, and embrace nourishment without guilt or shame.

Growing up in a family with strict food rules and a narrow view of what health looked like — combined with navigating multiple food allergies and a celiac diagnosis at 15 — sparked my interest in nutrition early on. I went on to earn my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nutrition from Cal Poly and Texas Tech. It wasn’t until I discovered intuitive eating that everything clicked — and I knew I was on the right path.

Outside of work, you’ll find me dancing, spending time outdoors with friends and planning my next international getaway. I believe a nourished body is a foundation for a fulfilling life, and I’m honored to walk alongside my clients as they rewrite their stories with food and reclaim joy in the process.
