Hi, I’m Marlyn. Nice to meet you.
I’m a functional nutritionist, wellness coach and 3 x 4 Nutrigenomics Practitioner who works with entrepreneurs, executives, creative artists, and those ready to take their life and health to the next level.
My mission, and greatest joy, is to help you overcome the challenges that keep you stuck.
I’ve been coaching clients in leading healthier, happier lives for over 18 years.
My work draws on my vast knowledge and experience in Eastern and Western nutrition, Functional Medicine, Chinese Medicine, Ayurveda, mindfulness and professional life coaching modalities. My 35 years in the wellness industry ranges from managing healthcare facilities, to corporate food sales, to coaching and counseling clients in the clinical setting.
For the last 16 years, I’ve had the deep pleasure of running my own nutrition coaching practice and watching lives change for the better each day. Whether it's working with a client through private coaching, leading large group programs for over 200 people or speaking at a retreat or corporate event, I find there is nothing more rewarding and powerful than helping people transform. From weight loss to balancing hormones to getting off alcohol and sugar to completely changing blood work for the better, each client and corporate community environment is unique with their own story, experience and destination.
Nutrition is the foundation of healing…
My passion and love for nutrition was sparked by my early teen health struggles: hormonal imbalances, weight gain and lack of energy. I was frustrated by physicians, fad diets and conventional medicine that couldn’t “fix me,” so I began searching for the truth — how do food, vitamins, minerals, and lifestyle choices affect my health? In fact, my first term paper in high school was on the harmful effects of food additives…something no one was talking about in 1978. While experimenting with quick-fix diets, and watching others do the same, I’ve found that true healing is a process of slowing down and looking deeper. It’s a blend of modalities including life-enhancing foods, mindfulness, conscious choices, letting go, understanding your genetics, and the permission to allow yourself to heal.
Through the years, I’ve been blessed to learn from some of the best physicians, acupuncturists, chef’s, mind-body healers and other like-minded nutritionists, all of whom have helped teach me tools and practices to create a body and mind in balance. I keep myself immersed in the field by attending medical conferences, speaking with highly-trained professionals, trying healthy new restaurants and researching all the latest science-based information.

on a personal note…..
I’m a lover of organic french roast coffee, boutique travel, hiking, Cardio Barre, farm fresh food, holistic living and a mom of two awesome sons (24 & 21.) I welcome you to my community and hope you'll join me on a journey of optimal wellness and self care.
what my clients are saying…..
As a result of working with Marlyn, I lost 15 pounds, have more energy and no longer experience that horrific chronic back pain that was interfering with my best life. My confidence improved, my body is more in balance and my skin is glowing again.

Marlyn, I’m doing great. I’m eating much better, sleeping better and have lost 10lbs. Many of my aches and pains are gone, my mental clarity is so much better and my all around sense of health is good. I am happy and getting healthier every day. I appreciate what you did for me, and I think you are excellent at what you do.

Marlyn, you have made such an incredibly positive impact on my life. Because of you, I have lost weight, kicked my sugar habit and upgraded my food choices. Thank you for enlightening and inspiring me!

The first thing that struck me when I sat down with Marlyn is that she’s authentic and doing what she’s supposed to do—helping people live healthier, happier lives. Before I met her, I was sluggish due to my poor eating habits. After starting Marlyn’s plan, I had more energy and stamina throughout the day and lost 15 pounds in the first month and a half.
