I originally started seeing Marissa about 1 1/2 years ago, and was immediately impressed by her. At the time I had a very challenging schedule due to my long (and odd) hours working at a restaurant. It took us a little while to develop an optimal eating plan for me, but Marissa was always ready with new suggestions to help me make healthier choices and plan my meals & snacks in advance. It took me a little while to start losing weight, but once I actually started following Marissa's sensible advice the pounds started to fall off!\r

She is very open in her sessions, I never felt like she was judging me (even when sometimes weeks went by and I didn't lose any weight), she was always encouraging and willing to come up with new eating strategies until we found something that worked.\r

I had never worked with a nutritionist prior to working with Marissa, but I have tried all the ""diets"" out there (Weight Watchers, South Beach, etc.) and her practical approach to eating is the best advice I've received! I'm not currently seeing her as an active client, however she is still always willing to answer any questions I email her about food/diets etc. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to revamp their eating habits (whether for health or weight loss).
