in their own words
“Marissa quite literally saved my daughter’s life. My daughter has always been athletic, vibrant, and health-conscious. But at 15, she fell down a dangerous rabbit hole after following influencers promoting extreme dietary habits.
Within just a couple of months she had restricted herself to a carnivore diet—often eating just one piece of meat a day—while continuing to exercise intensely. It escalated quickly into Orthorexia, an obsession with ingredients, where most things were labeled unhealthy in her opinion. She went from a healthy 105 pounds to a dangerously low 88 pounds in a matter of 2 months.
When we saw the scale, we knew we had to act. My daughter did her own research and found Marissa. Marissa immediately said to get pediatric bloodwork and send the results. The pediatrician was alarmed: her cholesterol was 592, several other markers were off, and her EKG showed an irregular, dangerously low heart rate. The cardiologist recommended hospitalization and banned her from exercise. An endocrinologist suggested lifelong medication without addressing the root causes.
Marissa recognized the signs of orthorexia and created a precise, structured plan tailored to my daughter’s physical and emotional needs. She increased calories and macros gradually, provided daily check-ins, monitored progress weekly, and supported us through hormone imbalances, mood swings, hair loss, and the return of her period. Marissa emphasized real food, avoidance of seed oils and gluten, and consistent bloodwork to measure progress.
Fast forward six months: her weight stabilized at a healthy 110 pounds, her bloodwork (including cholesterol) normalized, her energy returned, and her period came back. Marissa didn’t just give us a plan—she gave us our daughter back. If you’re looking for someone who truly listens and offers sustainable healing—Marissa is that person. I cannot recommend her enough.””
Stories of profound change.
“I started working with Marissa in November 2023 right around Thanksgiving. Since that time I am down 50 pounds and it has felt effortless. But before I came to Marissa, I was completely under the thumb of food and food addiction. I had no more ideas, I was completely out of ideas and I couldn’t fix it by myself. I just couldn’t. I was completely broken in the area of food. I’d had a weight problem since the time I was probably seven or eight and I’m 63 now. So it’s been a lifelong thing and working with Marissa has been a complete miracle. She taught me how my body works and that my body needs meat. And lots and lots of it! And she taught me that seed oils are like the demon. Because of Marissa, and because of her deep deep knowledge of what the right thing is to do and how to eat - and kind of how to live - my brain is quiet and I think I’m nourished for the first time in my life. I cannot recommend Marissa highly enough. She has saved my life. I’m absolutely completely convinced of it and if not, that she’s definitely given me a life and I just think she’s the best thing in the whole world!”
“I approached Marissa after trying many weight-loss approaches—keto, paleo, and carnivore—without sustainable results. My pattern was small, slow losses followed by setbacks that erased progress, and I suspected hormonal or gut issues were at play.
I needed answers but was cautious whom to trust; much of the nutrition space promotes ideas that didn’t work for me, like prolonged fasting or cutting all carbs. I wanted a practitioner who understood ruminant meat and the harms of seed oils. Marissa fit that profile and offered solutions beyond the usual advice.
When we worked together she provided a new eating pattern and advanced gut-healing protocols, including targeted supplements and structured guidance not easy to find online. She combined scientific knowledge with practical, individualized steps that finally made the process work for me.
Marissa isn’t a “normie” nutritionist—she challenges mainstream ideas when appropriate and integrates deep clinical knowledge with lived experience. The work required commitment, but it was worth every penny: it changed how I relate to food, improved my health, and expanded my thinking. I couldn’t be happier.”
“Working with Marissa has been one of the greatest gifts and most profound healing experiences I’ve had in the last decade of working tirelessly on my health. I’ve worked with countless healers & nutritionists, and never come across such a brilliant, helpful and compassionate health advocate like her. Not only is Marissa a master nutritionist, She’s also a phenomenal grounded mother and an expert at codependency healing. I have not embarked on motherhood yet, but when I do, I’m so grateful to have her as a main resource because she even offers a very unique effective lactation therapy that can assist any new mom or mom-to-be. I consider Marissa to be a one stop shop for extensive mental & physical health. Every time I speak to her she can turn overwhelming topics into bite-size digestible pieces literally and figuratively (LOL). It’s amazing how much of our gut health healing requires us to look at other aspects in our lives where we are not giving our bodies and our hearts what we need. Even though she’s an absolute encyclopedia of knowledge, she has a very gentle laser beam way of navigating her clients health to help them improve whatever areas they are needing.”

In a very short time she has taught me how to feed myself with great tasting food, cook with recipes that produce meals that are sustaining, AND lose unwanted weight while building some good looking muscle.

She has my unequivocal endorsement.”
