About Marissa Kleinsmith
Marissa is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist passionate about helping folks escape our diet-centric culture and reconnect with their personal food palate to feel their best in body and mind. She earned her Bachelor’s degree from Fort Lewis College, completed an internship in Dietetics at Utah State University, and holds a Master’s in Nutrition and Dietetics from Bastyr University. As a mother of two, a space near and dear to her heart is helping moms appreciate and nourish their bodies free from guilt. With so much pressure—both internal and external—placed on mothers, along with the massive physical and emotional changes women experience, personal and family food choices can become major triggers of stress.
No matter who you are, Marissa believes your weight does not determine your worth and is not the sole indicator of health. Healthy behaviors can be cultivated at any size, and eating can be fun and pleasurable while also supporting your health.
Using the principles of gentle nutrition and intuitive eating, she is eager to help people return to eating with enthusiasm and nourishing their bodies, so they can stop obsessing about food and make more space for focusing on the things in life that matter most.
