Health Professionals near Shakopee, MN

Building a relationship with food and your body can feel overwhelming. With such a wide variety of sources and information, it can be difficult to determine who to trust. Nutrition is not "one-size-fits-all." It is my aim as a clinician to listen, learn, and provide individualized recommendations to support your goals.

Hi! My name is Melissa and I am both a registered dietitian and a nurse. Although I have learned so much and enjoyed working as a registered nurse in both acute care and outpatient settings, my interests truly lie in chronic disease prevention and management through a healthful diet and lifestyle and in learning from the journey taken toward achieving these goals. My passion is in helping others along their journey to reaching their personal health and wellness goals.

I enjoy getting to know my patients in order to provide individualized, wellness-oriented healthcare. I was trained at Bastyr University as a naturopathic doctor. I help people with Lyme and chronic fatigue get their energy back through natural means that counterbalance the effects of more conventional approaches so that they are able to live their lives more fully, experiencing vibrant health. I also work with gastrointestinal issues like inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome, individualized detoxification protocols, adjunctive cancer support and education/counseling on a variety of women's health issues, including PMS, menopause and other menstrual irregularities.

My intent is to help people achieve optimal wellness in all areas of their life. I like working with all patients with a variety of issues. I have years of functional medicine experience and have seen the dramatic effect of treating patients for nutritional deficiency. Rather than merely treating symptoms, as a functional medicine practitioner I aim to understand the underlying imbalances or dysfunctions in the body that contribute to disease. By addressing these root causes, functional medicine seeks to restore balance and promote optimal health.

Hi there! I'm Jess - exciting to find you here! I refer to the care I provide as "nutrition therapy" rather than "dietitian services" because that feels most authentic to me. I have specialty training in eating disorders and a background in mental health, so no matter what sort of support you're looking for this is a safe space to examine all of the factors impacting your eating behaviors. I practice from a "Health At Every Size"-informed lens and include topics of intuitive eating and social justice in the care I provide. My practice has included people of all ages, gender identities, racial backgrounds, and religious beliefs.

Wellness. We are hardwired to aim for that. We are all on a healing journey, whether we’re conscious of it or not. Do you have the care and support you need to keep moving forward? Have you tried all the options and don't know where to turn? Does it seem sometimes that even your own body can't be trusted? My practice is focused on supporting highly sensitive people who have hard-to-treat conditions.

In my practice, I am dedicated to empowering individuals to take control of their health by making informed dietary choices. I firmly believe that every person has the potential to achieve and maintain a state of well-being through nutrition. My approach is grounded in empathy, cultural competence, and the belief that dietary changes should be sustainable and enjoyable. I understand the importance of cultural sensitivity and the profound impact it has on dietary habits. Being of East African descent myself, I appreciate the cultural nuances and dietary preferences of the community.

Common problems I can help: neck and back pains, headaches, carpal tunnel, sciatica, arthritis, digestive problems, infections, high cholesterol, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and others. I offer highly skilled adjustments of the spine, arms and leg joints to relieve pain and discomfort. I also focus on the muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascial imbalances that tend to recreate the pain cycle. By utilizing muscle testing methods I am able to pin point the area of imbalance and correct it with the necessary procedure.

I work with adults looking to take a food-first approach to balance hormones, optimize fertility, improve gut issues, support autoimmunity, increase energy, and reduce cravings, aches, and pains. While trained in functional nutrition, I focus on treating the whole person with not only nutrition, but other evidence-based health practices such as movement, stress management, and sleep hygiene to address root causes. My goal is to leave you with less confusion and cravings, and more energy to live your life day-to-day, confidence in your ability to maintain your health, and excitement around food!
