Associates

Thank you for the opportunity to work with you and/or your loved one as you begin or continue your recovery journey! I have a passion for working with adults, and adolescents and family as they work to explore a changed mindset and relationship with food. 

I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Dietetics from Oregon State University, and completed my dietetics internship in addition to earning my Master’s degree in Dietetics at Mount Mary College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I earned my CertifiedEating Disorders Specialist (CEDS) certificate in 2023. I first gained experience in the treatment of eating disorders during my dietetic internship, and after years working in other areas of dietetics, knew that working in eating disorder treatment was where I wanted to dedicate my career. 

Prior to working with UNRESTRICTED NUTRITION, I worked for 7 years as a dietitian at an inpatient, residential, and partial hospitalization level of care. I enjoy providing nutrition education to my patients, and individualizing support and recommendations to treat all eating disorder diagnoses. I have spent a vast majority of my ED treatment experience in child and adolescent care, using the Family Based Treatment (FBT) approach, and have an increased focus on working with adults as they pursue ED treatment currently. 

ARFID is my particular area of interest, however, I enjoy working with clients and families with all ED diagnoses to help them develop lifelong skills and knowledge to combat ED thoughts and messages.

In my leisure time, I enjoy hiking, backpacking, reading fiction books, learning new arts and crafts, and exploring Colorado! 

I am looking forward to working alongside you!

Hello! I'm MaryRose Brown, and I am a Registered Dietitian who practices from a Health at Every Size (HAES) and "all foods fit" approach. I believe that ALL bodies deserve respect, care, and nourishment. My mission is to guide individuals in embracing this philosophy while fostering a positive relationship with food and their bodies. I specialize in helping adolescents, teens, and emerging adults with various eating disorders, including ARFID (Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). My goal is to empower every individual to build confidence around exploring new and familiar foods, transforming mealtimes into positive experiences. Additionally, as a mom myself, I'm dedicated to assisting other mothers in loving and nourishing their postpartum bodies. I understand the unique challenges of motherhood and am here to provide support and guidance during this special time.

My journey began with a culinary nutrition degree from Johnson and Wales University in Denver. I gained valuable experience teaching cooking and nutrition classes to various age groups at different organizations, and I honed my expertise working with eating disorders during various internships and my work at the Eating Recovery Center. I continue to apply a Family-Based Treatment (FBT) approach in my work with children, adolescents, and their families. Outside of my work, I enjoy adventures in and outside of Colorado with my family. Thank you for choosing me as your partner on this journey!
