About

Morgan is a Fargo native who earned her Master’s degree in Exercise and Nutrition Science from NDSU in 2023. She joined Total Balance later that year, bringing both inpatient and outpatient experience. Morgan is dedicated to making healthy eating accessible, enjoyable and sustainable by taking a holistic approach that considers nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress management.

Morgan loves the team she works with and the gym setting at Total Balance—a place where nutrition and movement come together to help people build healthier, more sustainable lifestyles.

Her approach to nutrition is all about meeting people where they’re at. Morgan understands that every individual comes in with different experiences and knowledge, so she focuses on education, realistic goal setting and small, sustainable changes that actually stick. No crash diets. No quick fixes. Just long-term habits that help people feel better and stay consistent.

She’s especially passionate about helping people understand the “why” behind nutrition and how different foods impact energy, performance and overall health. One thing she wishes more people knew is that progress isn’t linear. It takes time, there will be setbacks and that’s completely normal. But when you learn how to navigate those setbacks, the results last.

Outside of work, Morgan enjoys spending time at the lake, golfing, working out, hunting, being outdoors and hanging out with her pets. Fun fact: she originally went to school for criminal justice before taking a nutrition class that completely changed her career path.
