About Melissa

Melissa Dumas, R.H.N., NNCP

I love dogs, I love nature, but also, I love food! I believe that food should be enjoyed and never feared. There are no “good” or “bad” foods. It’s all about balance and doing the best you can. Each day that might look a little different.

My health has, at times, been overwhelming. I used to feel helpless, but now I’m empowered and I love being the key player in my own health journey.

I’m a real person that has struggled with mental and physical conditions, including a hereditary disease that will need management throughout my entire life. I am up for the challenge and determined to always make my health a priority.

In my personal health journey I found my purpose.  It is now my mission to help others learn to take back their health as well.

Why the Name Marces?

I was looking for a unique name. One day Marces (pronounced marcees) popped into my head. The name Marces is a combination of March and Pisces, my sun sign and birth month.

What is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist?

As a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, I use evidence-based and science-based tools to help guide clients through their health goals and concerns. Recommendations include dietary and lifestyle. I am trained to look at each individual as a whole. I will look at your complete health history, current diet, and lifestyle habits. My goal is optimal health and getting to the root cause of the problem.
