meet Madeline, you will feel hopeful and inspired.

Background:

Madeline is a Registered Dietitian, Confidence Coach as well as Yoga and Pilates instructor.

Health and wellness are not just what Madeline preaches but, practices daily. Every day, she

helps men and women understand that a diagnosis/condition does not define them and that they

can rewrite their narrative.

Over a decade ago, Madeline was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) which

led to symptoms of weight gain, hormonal acne, irregular periods and Celiac disease. At that

time, only generic nutrition information was provided to help her symptoms. Since being

diagnosed, Madeline has dedicated her life’s work to learning everything about Hormonal

Imbalances, Eating Disorders, Disordered Eating and Obesity/Weight Gain. Now, Madeline

educates and empowers men and women to take back control of their health, symptoms, and

energy to finally become the person of their DREAMS.

NY while teaching Yoga and Pilates privately to women across the world. She obtained her

Master of Nutrition and Dietetics with Registered Dietitian training at D’Youville University.

Weight Management (Obesity/Weight Gain).

Counseling Philosophy:

Madeline strives to provide evidence-based, personalized as well as customized practical

nutrition advice to help each client minimize symptoms, reach desired goals as well as create

and/or maintain a healthy relationship with food. To enhance clients understanding of how a

wide array of ingredients can fit into their diet without comprising wellness goals, Madeline has

spent time cooking throughout Italy which helped shaped her approach to nutrition counseling.

In every session Madeline takes into consideration your personal health history, food

preferences, culture and goals to create the perfect plan for you. Madeline is here to provide you

with the tools, knowledge and accountability you need to live that life you’ve been waiting for.
