Marina Eichenberger

About Marina

Food has always felt like both a science and a source of comfort to me. I hold an MS in Nutrition and Dietetics from Virginia Tech and have worked as an RD in clinical hospital settings during my first year as a registered dietitian. I enjoy helping people find unique, realistic strategies that fit their lives, whether that means simplifying meals or problem solving around medical needs. Outside of work you might find me outdoors, watching movies or TV, listening to music, testing skincare, or cuddling with my cat.

Approach to care

Evidence guides my recommendations, and compassion shapes how we get there. I use current research to create clear, actionable steps we can try together, while keeping a weight-neutral, Health At Every Size perspective. I pay attention to the whole person, including sleep, stress, and lifestyle, and I aim to teach practical skills you can keep using long after our sessions. We will set measurable, sustainable habits that respect your goals and your life, without judgment or quick fixes.

Your first session with Marina

Expect a relaxed, collaborative conversation where we'll review your medical history and any relevant lab work or biometrics, and talk about what matters most to you. We'll clarify a few short-term goals together, so you leave with a clear, manageable next step. You do not need to have everything figured out, this is a judgment-free space where we'll listen, prioritize, and start building sustainable habits at a pace that feels right for you.
