Vivas Michele Ms Rd

Michele has helped us treat our daughter’s anorexia, and her consultations have been invaluable. Michele combines clear scientific data with anecdotal experience. She offers concrete advice, details that no other eating-​disorders professional mentioned. I appreciate her straight-​talking, east-​coast style, others might find it too aggressive, but she so much knows what she is doing that I recommend her unconditionally.

Over almost a decade of eating disorder treatment, Michele was the most inspiring and effective treatment professional that worked with me. She approaches nutrition from an explicitly scientific perspective, giving real, complex answers and cites recent important studies. I was comfortable with her because she clearly knew what she was talking about and respected me, young as I was, enough to never condescend and, rather, approach me like an intelligent adult.
Her help was deeply meaningful to my development of healthy body image, because she took the focus away from weight and physical appearance. She was supportive of my efforts to get into grad school and generally treated me like a whole person, not just a set of numbers.
In addition to being of instrumental importance to my recovery process, she was inspiring simply by being a strong, powerful woman in science who spoke with authority and confidence.
I would highly recommend Michele to any ED patient or parent of an ED patient seeking a nutritionist.

Michelle is probably the one health professional that has consistently inspired me to create a healthy lifestyle. I have struggled for many years with various forms of eating disorders and Michelle has an extensive background in working with people of all different levels and types of eating disorders. She is absolutely one of the most empowering people i know because she provides a plethora of information and education on nutrition and health so that i can make informed choices and, gives me the tools so that i can implement those choices. Every time i leave her office, I feel ready to make the changes necessary in my live my life free of the painful burdens that eating disorders cause.
