About Mel

Nutrition is critical during pregnancy to meet the increased nutritional demands and to support the baby’s growth and development. As a registered dietitian, I’m here to support you through every step of your pregnancy journey with personalized, evidence-based guidance. With a background in Biological Engineering from Cornell University and a Master’s degree in Nutrition from Columbia University, I combine a strong scientific foundation with practical nutrition strategies.

Before becoming a dietitian, I worked in the supply chain and manufacturing industry. However, my passion for nutrition and wellness inspired a career change, and I now dedicate my expertise to helping expecting mothers feel their best during this exciting time. Whether you’re planning for pregnancy, already expecting, or navigating postpartum life, I’m here to simplify the process of nourishing yourself and your baby.

Through my signature program, Balanced Bump Method, I provide personalized coaching and support, focusing on essential nutrients for your baby’s development, managing common pregnancy symptoms, and more. When working with me, you won’t find restrictive diet plans, but rather how to eat a nutrient-dense diet while still enjoying the foods you love. I believe that taking care of your nutrition should be empowering, not overwhelming—and I’m here to make that happen!
