Our Team

Meet the Dietitians

A team of four Registered and Licensed Dietitians, each bringing specialized expertise and a genuine commitment to helping you reach your health goals.

Our Story

25 Years of Evidence-Based Nutrition Care in Western MA

Pyramid Nutrition Services was founded in September 2000 by Nicole Frank-Maslar, RDN, LDN. What began as a one-person practice has grown into a trusted team of four dietitians serving individuals throughout Western Massachusetts — in-person and via telehealth.

We are proud members and supporters of the Western Area Massachusetts Dietetic Association (WAMDA). Our dietitians provide both individual nutrition counseling and consulting dietitian services to long-term care, assisted living, rest homes, and adult day health centers.

Our purpose is simple: translate food and nutrition science into real-life healthy practices. We provide a safe, caring environment where every client is heard, supported, and given the tools to make sustainable changes that forever improve their quality of life.

Our Philosophy

We Focus on You — Not Just Your Food

Evidence-Based Always

We use only proven, science-backed facts and tools — never fads or trends.

Whole-Person Approach

We consider your relationship with food, your emotions, and your life circumstances.

Sustainable Change

Small, consistent changes — not drastic restrictions — that last a lifetime.

Collaborative Care

We coordinate with your physicians, mental health providers, and healthcare team.

Our Dietitians

Four Specialists. One Team.

Each of our dietitians brings unique training, certifications, and areas of specialty — so you can be matched with the right provider for your specific needs.

Intuitive Eating & Gut Health

Corinne Epstein, MS, RDN, LDN

Available: In-Person & Telehealth · Tue, Wed, & Thu

Corinne found her love for health and nutrition after a lifetime in performing arts. While she still has a passion for the stage and music, she finds the most rewarding feeling is helping others make easy, simple changes through food. Her nutrition motto is: "Food is meant to be enjoyed!"

Corinne has a passion for intuitive eating and helping clients build a healthy, sustainable relationship with food — free from guilt or restriction. She gained 3 years of counseling experience as a nutrition advisor at UMass Amherst and has also worked in hospital settings educating patients on heart health, gut health, and weight loss.
