About Me
Melissa Schumacher, MS, RDN, LDN, discovered her passion for nutrition through her love of the medical field and helping others. Her nutrition philosophy focuses on making life easier and less stressful when it comes to food choices. Melissa believes in setting realistic goals and creating personalized plans that fit her clients’ lifestyles. She’s all about helping her clients build confidence, reduce stress, and crush their personal health goals—all while enjoying their favorite foods!
Melissa earned her Master’s Degree in Nutrition and Dietetics, setting the foundation for her nearly 15-year career in the nutrition field. She has a particular passion for women's health and diabetes management. Over the years, she’s helped clients tackle a wide range of health conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, weight management, kidney disease, and cancer. Whatever the challenge, Melissa works with empathy and understanding, meeting her clients where they are.
When she’s not cheering on her clients, you can find Melissa baking up delicious goodies in the kitchen, gardening, or finding fun ways to stay active with her husband, two kids and two energetic pups.
