The time and resource investment that I made to work with Marisa has been life changing.  When I first reached out, I had reached a bottom point where food had lost all interest or joy because I was so stressed about what to eat, when and how that would impact my body composition and athletic performance.  Food had become the largest stress point and I was at my whit's end.  Through working with Marisa, I have been able to completely switch that around to truly enjoying food again.  Through our 1 on 1 sessions and the Intuitive Eating class, I am now in a position where I can make smart choices about what and when I eat but not let that be something that demands a large amount of my emotional and mental capacity.  More importantly, I have been able to learn to accept what my body for what it can do as opposed to constantly having negative thoughts about what I want to change.  It has been a truly freeing experience and I will forever be grateful! `Kirby A.

"Marisa met with my son, a high school athlete, who needed support understanding what his diet needed to be in order to stay healthy, gain muscle mass and endurance, and eat for optimal performance.  She thoroughly evaluated every aspect of his diet and nutrition habits, and provided a lot of resources for my son and our family.  I highly recommend Marisa for athlete nutrition!" ~ L.A.

"It is difficult to put into words how much Marisa has positively impacted my life. After speaking with several nutritionists, she took me in, listened to my emotional breakdowns, emailed me after hours to answer my random late-night questions, and was a consistent rock of information in my life (and still is). She knew how to speak to me in a language that I could understand and appreciate while backing it up with current, scientific studies that I needed to hear. My understanding of how nutrition fits into my life has greatly increased, as well as my physical and emotional health. Among all of these things, she was accommodating logistically, responsive, and malleable to meet my needs with scheduling and other sometimes annoying processes; she navigated these with ease. I can 100% say that not going to her would have been a great disservice to myself and she has my utmost respect and highest recommendation, always."

"I did my first 10 on the moonboard today after not worrying about being too heavy for pretty much the first time since I started climbing seriously! Tried this one over the summer and could barely do any of the moves. The stuff we talked about has been helping a ton! Just wanted to thank you and let you know it's been working and just some more proof that getting lighter isn't the answer!"

"I've seen Marisa Michael as a dietitian several times over the past 6 months.  I always feel glad I've met with her.  She is very helpful, knowledgeable & understanding.  I love the meal plans she makes for me.  She works with the parameters I need (I don't want fancy, complicated recipes, just quick & simple ideas).   I would recommend her to anyone!" ~J.W.
