I employ evidenced-based nutrition information in promoting sports nutrition practices to support peak performance. As a Certified REDs provider (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport), I help clients navigate the world of energy intake and investigating what might be contributing to Low Energy Availability. I support fueling for performance as opposed to a body size. I work with clients to discover the skills necessary to navigate the world of diet culture through a non-diet approach. I aim to provide a supportive and listening environment for those with eating disorders/disordered eating in finding nourishment, joy, and peace with food. This includes sharing respect and compassion as promoted in the Health at Every Size philosophy.

Marcia spent four years as the Director of Sports Nutrition at the University of New Hampshire.

She completed her DPD, Certificate in Sports Nutrition, and Dietetic Internship from Simmons College in Boston, MA.  Marcia is licensed in MA, ME, VT and NH and sees clients virtually and in-person.  I'm a former NCAA All-American swimmer, so you'll find me favoring those aquatic sports athletes! My goal is to reach out to athletic support teams (sports med docs, athletic trainers, strength and conditioning) to provide education on REDs and eating disorders.  

I love hiking and snow shoeing in the winter and just being outside. If there were a swimming pool near me up here in northern NH, I'd be there, too.
