Meet Merisa

Hi, I'm Merisa!

I'm a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and the proud founder of Live Nourished Today! I'm also a newlywed and mom to three boys—a 12-year-old and two teenagers—so I know firsthand how busy and unpredictable life can get!

My passion is helping people build healthier relationships with food, with a special focus on emotional eating. I understand that eating isn't always about hunger. Stress, emotions, busy schedules, and everyday challenges can all influence our food choices. My approach focuses on helping you understand your eating habits, recognize emotional triggers, and develop healthier ways to cope—without guilt, judgment, or restrictive diets.

I believe nutrition should be realistic, flexible, and enjoyable. You don't have to eat perfectly or give up your favorite foods to improve your health.
