Balance Nutrition Counseling, PLLC

I feel so grateful to have Melissa as my dietitian for the last 3 years. She has shown up for me time and time again, every time meeting me where I am at. She has made herself available outside of her working hours to accommodate my nursing schedule. She made herself available thru email outside of session to answer any questions or offer support. She has been my cheerleader through the darkest day of my eating disorder and held hope for me when i couldn't see on the other side. Melissa is one of the most genuine people I have ever met and deeply cares. She is incredibly knowledgeable on eating disorders and always has the up to date information. Melissa has provided me an immense amount of strength when I did not think I could do it anymore. She helped me find the strength in myself to keep going. She loved me where I was at thru the ups and downs of my recovery and i am eternally gratefully for that. Melissa is also human and not afraid to show that she is just another human. This is one of the things I love most about her. One of Melissa's biggest beliefs is that all food is good food and one of my favorite things about her is that she lives this life! With Melissa's help and support I am not eating things I never thought I would even look at again. Melissa is also helping me work on the shame and that no food makes me a bad person. The shame at times has been intense and never did I feel judged by myself. She has heard me, empathized with me and we developed a game plan. Melissa is truly one of a kind and I would recommend anyone to her in a heartbeat!

If you are considering meeting with a nutritionist or making a change in who you see, Melissa is the best, and you will be so happy you went to see her. I have seen Melissa regularly for the last 2 years and she is the best! She is compassionate and truly cares about you. I have been able to be open and honest with her without fear of judgment. She has a way of helping you make the changes that you need to make and I am so grateful for her help.

Melissa is one of the most knowledgeable dietitians I know and is able to help others change their perception and relationship with food and nutrition for the better. She is committed to continuing to grow her skills as a dietitian and anyone looking to work with her is lucky to have such a strong support system in their corner. She has helped me re-frame what I always thought I knew about "diets" and healthy eating. I have learned from her that food is not something to fear, but embrace and to throw the word diet out of my vocabulary. Melissa has often reminded me of a balanced and healthy lifestyle vs. fad diets I have often succumbed to in the past. She is the best and I highly recommend her!

Melissa gives amazing advice when it comes to food and your relationship with it. I appreciate that she's a non-diet nutritionist that helps cater to your individual needs and concerns. While pregnant, I was looking to maintain weight (with the approval of my dr) and she recommended some helpful tracking resources that allowed me to journal my daily food choices. She's great to work with, extremely knowledgeable, and the consummate professional. Great work!

Words can't express my gratitude for the work that Balance Nutrition Counseling does. Before working with Cassie, my life felt like it revolved around food/dieting anxiety and body image stress. Cassie has been so awesome to work with and exceeded every expectation about what working with a Dietician would be like. She is so kind, compassionate, and relatable while also holding me accountable. Cassie has a really special way of making you feel heard and understood, and has given me the tools to chip away at unhealthy habits and rebuild positive ones. I leave every session feeling refreshed and one step closer to a healthier mindset and a more positive relationship with my body.

Melissa is the best dietician I’ve had in many years of recovery. She’s compassionate and genuine. She goes above and beyond for her clients and shares what she is continually learning in the eating disorder field to make a difference in their care.

I was incredibly lucky to be given the opportunity to work with Melissa. She never failed to show up for me and always met me where I was. It became evident very early on into our work together that all she wanted was for me to be healthy and her genuine concern for my wellbeing never faltered. I am so grateful to have met her. Her knowledge of eating disorders in combination with her ability to personalize my treatment was the greatest relief for me as her client. She understood, she cared, and she also wanted to see me thrive. Only with her, was I able to see myself in recovery. She was always available to answer any and all question that I had, including outside of sessions. Melissa provided me with hope and strength when I was unable to access them on my own. She has never judged me and she always truly listened in such a way that is hard to come by. I respect her work to the fullest extent and would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

I have been working with Melissa since late 2016 after my time in treatment for my eating disorder. She is very knowledgeable and understanding of fears and anxiety around food. She has been very encouraging and supportive of my recovery from the very start and never gave up on helping me. She is very passionate about helping me and others heal relationships with food. I would highly reccomend Melissa if you are looking for a dietitian that genuinely cares about your well-being.

I have been working with Melissa for almost two years now and since being diagnosed with BED Melissa has been nothing short of wonderful. She listens to my concerns and needs and works with me so that I can make progress towards more steady eating habits. I have made significant progress and no longer binge as I did before. Thank you Melissa for making recovery possible! I highly recommend Melissa if you want someone who listens, is understanding and very proactive in your recovery and eating habits.

Melissa and Julie are top-not dietitians! Highly recommend for eating disorder recovery and healing body image!
