About Michelle

Hi, I'm Michelle. With 11 years as a Registered Dietitian and an MS in Exercise Science & Nutrition, I’ve worked in clinical and private practice, helping people navigate health challenges and everyday wellness. Currently, I'm pursuing an Integrative and Functional Nutrition Certification (IFNCP) to expand my toolkit, because I believe in blending holistic and evidence-based care. When I'm not at work, you'll find me mostly with my dog! But I also enjoy reading, hiking, cooking, and photography.

Approach to care

My care philosophy is to build a partnership grounded in science and warmth. I rely on current research to guide recommendations, but I meet you where you are and listen with curiosity. We'll work together with clear, actionable steps that respect your life and preferences. I practice a holistic, weight-neutral approach that prioritizes sustainable habits over dieting, and I'll help you see how sleep, stress, and daily choices fit into your health. I firmly believe that sustainable nutrition change is a marathon, not a race.

Your first session with Michelle

Our first appointment is a warm, low-pressure conversation about you. We'll review your medical history, establish short-term goals, and go over any lab work or biometrics to set a clear starting point. You don't need to have everything figured out yet; this is a judgment-free space where you're heard and supported. Together we'll choose 1 or 2 achievable steps to begin, tailored to your life and rhythm.
