Merisa has been wonderful for me and my teenage son to work with. She helps us both learn about nutrition and become more aware of what we are eating and what we need to eat. She does it in a fun manner to keep him engaged while he’s learning.
Plus, Merisa encouraged my son to get into the kitchen with me, time we both enjoy.
She has been so supportive and we look forward to continuing our work with her.

Merisa has been such a help to me in this nutrition journey. I have many years of poor habits and misinformation around food to clear up and Merisa simply meets you where you are. The goals we set are never more than I can manage which has really helped me build a strong foundation. I love that she does weekly check ins between appointments too. :)
