Registered Dietitian 

Melissa Dietrich

Hi there! I am Melissa (she/her), and I am a Registered Dietitian with a B.Sc. in Nutrition Degree from the University of Saskatchewan. Since beginning my career in 2019 I have experience managing the nutritional needs of clients from all age groups ranging from infants and children to adults with a wide range of disease states. Over the last few years I've been at the Jim Pattison Children's Hospital working with infants and children up to age 17.

I've seen the immense stress that parents experience when their child is struggling with nutritional related concerns and feeding and I feel truly lucky that I am able to support families through those times. It is a privilege and I love working together with families to ensure their child is growing and developing to their full potential.

Although my main focus area is pediatric care, I am experienced working with people of all ages and welcome clients who would like support with  chronic disease management such as diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure and cholesterol, IBD, and more.

My main areas of expertise include:

● Poor growth

● Failure to thrive

● Tube feeding

● Celiac disease

● Picky eating

● Allergies/intolerances

I can't wait to meet you and become a part of your village.
