⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Melissa Albrecht has been amazing to work with on my nutritional journey! She takes time to understand my specific health needs, fitness goals, and busy lifestyle, creating a plan that is both realistic and effective for me - and helps me adjust when needed. I work full time, travel regularly, and have two teenagers who are active in sports. Prioritizing my health was a challenge. With Melissa's constant guidance, encouragement, and genuine care, she's made the whole process enjoyable and realistic with my lifestyle. I'm incredibly grateful for her and all the positive changes she's helped me achieve!

Our experience working with McKenzie was fantastic! She’s amazing at listening, non-judgmental and giving helpful, gentle ideas to get our adolescent back on track with food choices.

-S. M.

I have had great success with Anyone’s Journey. I have worked specifically with Melissa Albrecht, and she has been absolutely fantastic. She is very kind, open, and understanding, while also pushing you out of your comfort zone and encouraging you to try hard things. She has taught me how to better my relationship with food, and is very knowledgeable, flexible and supportive in her field. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone searching for a dietician.

-S. P.

I’ve been working with Melissa for a handful of months and she’s been amazing! She takes the time to listen to the needs of my situation and has given me valuable and practical ways to achieve my goals. She’s very knowledgeable and always brings forward great ideas around nutrition. It’s been a joy working with her and it’s great to have a supporter like her on my journey toward healing!

I've been working with Lindsey for over a year, and she is an amazing clinician. She is kind, compassionate, and incredibly knowledgeable. I have learned so much from her. She meets me where I am, challenges me, and ensures I stay on track with my goals. And if/when I get off track, she helps me process it and find a way to get back on track, even if it takes me a long time. My journey is not linear, and she frequently reminds me that’s okay. I feel so lucky to have found her and to have her by my side.

-G.

I’ve been working with Lindsey Metcalfe for around a year now and have been so impressed with her empathy and lens on nutrition and health. It’s been a reparative experience and helped me improve how I view myself, food and nutrition. Highly recommend Anyone’s Journey. They were also very supportive in helping me navigate the insurance side of things as well!

-K. D.

Kenzie has by far been my favorite person to work with on my journey! She is so comforting to talk to and is so committed to helping me. I love how she answers all of my questions, celebrates my wins, and encourages me to keep challenging myself. Talking to Kenzie motivates me to heal my relationship with food and recognize all the positive things food does for my body and my health! I adore Kenzie and how she has eased me into my healing process. Her kindness and support is amazing and she has helped me in more ways than she knows!!

-S. L.

Privileged to have worked with two staff from here. Nothing but positive things to share about them. They:
-make realistic yet just challenging enough goals for patients, cautious not to push people outside of their window of tolerance
-go at patient’s pace and meets them where they are at
-work to be aware of life events outside of sessions to provide support to get through challenging times
-have been flexible with appointment times
-have been accepting of emails and texts
-see each patient as a human not a diagnosis, and are understanding that treatment is not one size fits all
-have great ability to decipher what is disordered and what are authentic goals of the patient
-can find humor (appropriately) in times that can be hard…laughter = medicine and connection
-have a continuity of care that is golden
-are trustworthy, which coming from me says a lot
-have handy tools to supplement the work together (different apps and such)

I could go on. I have very high expectations for who I would recommend but I can confidently say I would recommend. Thank you for all the work you do to help those with nutrition in a world that makes it so hard to know what is truly a path to overall health and wellness.

Sam Scardigli has been such a breath of fresh air. I've worked with other dietitians through my life and none have provided the level of support and understanding that Sam has. meeting with him is one of the highlights of my week. He is so kind, and makes me feel so heard. I am so grateful to be working with anyone's journey. finding the proper eating disorder diagnosis and having my past experiences and current eating struggles validated was and is incredible and makes me feel like the person beyond my problems. I highly recommend Sam to anyone with arfid for sure , but also to anyone with eating struggles in general. thank you Sam.

-Z. O.

I have been working with Sam for over a year and finally feel secure in trusting a clinician. Sam provides me with tools to reach my personal goals, offering constant support and encouragement. His expertise in meal planning, addressing my questions, and providing validation makes him an exceptional choice, especially for those who have struggled to trust dietitians before. I highly recommend him for his extensive knowledge and professionalism.

To date, my experience with Anyone's Journey Nutrition Services (and with Melissa Albrecht, specifically) has been excellent. I first sought out their assistance back in May of 2024 when I noticed I had put on more weight than I wanted and I was tipping the scales at 200+ lbs. My wife also noticed how I was out of breath a lot after doing as little as just walking up a couple flights of stairs. I should also add at this point that though my health was generally pretty good for a 71 year old male, both my cholesterol level (especially my LDL) and my A1C were elevated to the point that health risks were inevitable if I continued down the path I was on.

I began working with Melissa on developing a plan for both changing my eating habits and coming up with an exercise program that included cardio and strength training. Melissa has a very outgoing and positive attitude, and her suggestions and tips were always welcome on things I could do to change my lifestyle and eating habits. She gave me some great suggestions for things I should cut out of my diet, significantly reduce in my diet, or add into my diet. I still indulge myself occasionally but have found that I don't miss many of the foods (especially take-out/fast foods) and have developed an appetite for the healthier and more nutritious foods that have become my go-to meal favorites.

Additionally, Melissa helped me identify easy, healthy recipes I could prepare for meals. She also gave me some good suggestions on how to deal with situations where I have little control over what foods are served (e.g., family get-togethers, holiday gatherings, parties, etc.) but where I do have control of what foods I put on my plate. Throughout my journey, Melissa has been very supportive, non-judgmental and very helpful in suggesting things to keep me on track. Since I started this journey 4 months ago, I've shed close to 15 lbs. and am closing in on my goal to loose another 4 or 5 lbs. by Christmas. This journey would have been a lot harder without the helpfulness, brainstorming and cheer-leading provided by Melissa during the process.

-T. G.

Food used to be my least favorite topic on the planet. When my therapist suggested seeing a dietitian, I was really dreading the thought of having to sit for an hour and talk about it. I can say with full confidence that seeing Sam has drastically changed my outlook. He provides such a positive perspective and consistently celebrates my "small" wins, even after my worst weeks I no longer feel shame, but instead feel motivated to continue trying. He has been a catalyst in breaking my bad habits because he never lets me just try and fail, try and fail, like I would on my own. He continuously comes up with a creative solution or goal for me to implement that prevents me from feeling stagnant in the same cycle.

-A. D.

I've had a couple past experiences with dietitians, and they didn't completely understand my mindset. I almost gave up on dieticians all together. Then I was recommended to Sam Scardigli and thought id give it another try. He has helped me so much! I've only been seeing him for a couple months and my mindset on food has changed so much! I never thought id ever get to this point. I'm living a much happier and healthier life(:

-M. J.

Sam Scardigli was a great guide and resource in my nutritional journey. I felt support and kindness through my highs and lows and I learned a lot along the way. I highly recommend it!

-T. J.

I have been working with Sam Scardigli for a number of months now, Sam has been nothing but encouraging, supportive, understanding, passionate, and caring. I wouldn’t be where I was right now if it weren’t for Sam and I can’t wait to see where it will take me.

I have been in and out of eating disorder treatment for half my life and never met a dietician like Melanie. In this kind of treatment, dieticians are often seen as the enemy because they handle your worst fear: food. That's not the case with Melanie though. Her kind heart filled with compassion and empathy combined with her abundant knowledge makes her the only person I can trust with my biggest fears. I would recommend her to anyone. I honestly don't know where I would be without her. When everyone turned me away, she accepted me and was willing to work with me.

-K. C.

Sam Scardigli was very helpful and knowledgeable. He was flexible with meeting times, and tailored our sessions to fit my specific needs. Would highly recommend!

-E. K.

Finding a dietitian can be very scary and hard to do. Trusting someone with personal secret’s and deep wounds…
Working with Melanie, you can feel the compassion she has doing her job!
She is very insightful and knowledgeable about nutrition and how the body works! Melanie meets you where your at and has a warm caring approach to helping you on your journey! She is very honest and nonjudgmental! Her authentic personality, wise words of wisdom, gentle heart, and caring soul has helped me feel at ease with my insecurities, a better understanding of how my body responds to nutrition and building a trusting relationship with food!
(I never thought I would be this far on my journey!)

-T. T.

Melanie is the best dietitian I’ve ever had! Attentive, caring, knowledgeable, and organized. She’s been able to work with me on what fits with my lifestyle in order to create a sustainable and long-term meal plan and improve my relationship with food. It’s only been a few months, but with her help I’ve been seeing significant progress with my health goals.

-A. M.

When I first started working with Melanie a couple of years ago, I was terrified and reluctant to meet with her as my last experience with treatment somewhat traumatized me. However, a past therapist of mine strongly recommended I see her and assured me that she would be nothing short of amazing. And she was right! Melanie has completely changed my perspective on my relationship with food with such patience and compassion. She presents and upholds a safe space for anyone.

-J. A.

Melanie is a fantastic [dietitian] who takes a collaborative approach, working in tandem with myself and the rest of my care team to help facilitate goals, educate on nutrition, and seek to understand my complex relationship with food. She is knowledgeable about many conditions and passionate about helping clients gain understanding on nutrition can enhance their lives. Melanie meets me where I am at each session with a compassionate and nonjudgmental stance. She is willing to think outside the box in order to help me reach my own goals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to heal their relationship with their body and food, seeking help with weight management, or help in navigating and improving many health conditions through nutrition.

-B. K.

Melanie has been so supportive of my journey with food, specifically with my binge eating disorder. Melanie has been helping me for 2 years now by providing guidance with eating healthy portions, meal plan ideas, and overall support with my struggles with food. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without Melanie and she has helped me get in a way better relationship with food compared to beforehand where my eating disorder controlled every part of my life. Thanks Melanie! 😊

-E. H.
