About Me

My name is Mary, and my journey with nutrition began in high school when I first grew concerned about the effects of food on my health and weight. After years of diets, restrictive eating, and endless online searches, I decided to pursue a career in dietetics to gain a clear, science-based understanding of food and health. I attended Youngstown State University in Ohio, earning my Bachelor’s in Applied Science and completing the Coordinated Program in Dietetics. In 2020, I became a registered and licensed dietitian and have since gained experience in areas from long-term care to community dietetics.

Through my education and career, my views and understanding of food transformed—it's more than just calories; it plays a vital role in our emotional and social well-being. I am passionate about helping others understand the mental toll of food-related stress. My mission is to guide clients in simplifying food choices, freeing them from guilt and worry, and creating a balanced, fulfilling approach to health.

If you're starting your wellness journey and need support navigating nutrition, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll build lasting, healthy habits for a lifetime of well-being!
