Why Work with Melissa - Supporting Your Unique Needs
In a community like Kirkland Lake, where healthcare resources can be limited and long hours or shift work are part of daily life, nutrition support needs to be flexible, respectful, and realistic. That’s why I offer a non-diet, weight-inclusive approach as a virtual registered dietitian serving Kirkland Lake and surrounding areas.
My work is grounded in the principles of Health at Every Size® (HAES®)—meaning we focus on your long-term health, not your weight. Whether you're managing a chronic condition, navigating stress eating, or simply trying to feel better in your body, I meet you exactly where you are. No judgment. No meal plans you can’t follow. Just sustainable, personalized support that fits your life in Northern Ontario.
