  • Erica A.
    I previously worked with a dietician on intuitive eating and gentle nutrition but found myself needing more specific support for proper hydration and nutrition during endurance training. Marisa was thorough and provided specific recommendations in the first session that I was able to test out right away. My follow-up appointments were focused on dialing in my hydration and nutrition even more, based on how my training was going with her initial recommendations. Marisa exceeded my expectations. She was professional but also so enjoyable to talk with and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for nutrition support!
  • The time and resource investment that I made to work with Marisa has been life changing.  When I first reached out, I had reached a bottom point where food had lost all interest or joy because I was so stressed about what to eat, when and how that would impact my body composition and athletic performance.  Food had become the largest stress point and I was at my whit's end.  Through working with Marisa, I have been able to completely switch that around to truly enjoying food again.  Through our 1 on 1 sessions and the Intuitive Eating class, I am now in a position where I can make smart choices about what and when I eat but not let that be something that demands a large amount of my emotional and mental capacity.  More importantly, I have been able to learn to accept what my body for what it can do as opposed to constantly having negative thoughts about what I want to change.  It has been a truly freeing experience and I will forever be grateful! `Kirby A.
  • “Marisa’s virtual presentation for our company Wellness Month was highly professional, informative, and engaging. We appreciated the way she tailored the presentation to our company audience, and she demonstrated her deep knowledge of nutrition in addressing audience questions in real-time. She was a pleasure to work with and I would not hesitate to ask her to return for future events!” Erin Kuusela
  • I'm a local runner and wanted to get advice for diet and training purposes. Did an online search for local nutritionists and found Marisa. Scheduled an appointment met up and was very happy with her presentation and care she provided. I'm currently doing much better health wise and made improvements on my recent metobolic panel blood work results during my annual physical exam. I'm also a stronger runner as a result of advice and feedback provided.
  • "I did my first 10 on the moonboard today after not worrying about being too heavy for pretty much the first time since I started climbing seriously! Tried this one over the summer and could barely do any of the moves. The stuff we talked about has been helping a ton! Just wanted to thank you and let you know it's been working and just some more proof that getting lighter isn't the answer!"

    "I have been feeling pretty strong lately...thank you for all your help. I am [back to work] and...overall weight and food haven't really been issues. I really appreciate the work you do--it makes a real difference in my life and the lives of all my closest people."

Our process and pledge

Step 1

Congratulations! You’ve made your first step toward better health and wellness! After you’ve made an appointment, I email you an intake form that asks simple questions about your goals, usual eating patterns, and health history.

Step 2

Everything we do together is tailored around your goals and needs. I coach you through the process of changing what and how you eat, but also guide you through the whys of each change. You never make a change you’re not comfortable with. We work together without guilt, judgment, or shame about food choices or body image.

 

Step 3

We promise to guide you through nutrition changes with respect, non-judgement, and support. We honor your health history, goals, needs, lifestyle, and mental health. We never sell you supplements, oils, pills, or shakes. We keep our business free of conflict-of-interest to make sure your interests come first.
