Meet Holly, The GR Dietitian
A Registered Dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, who has always been passionate about helping others create a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
I have personally viewed nutrition through many lenses:
as a plant-based eater, an athlete, a parent, a teacher, and, most importantly, a student.
I know firsthand that it can be difficult in our modern world to sort through all of the opinions, misinformation, and profit-based plans that are so readily available.
But I believe nutrition should be simple, so I’m here to advocate for change.
In my work, I translate science-based information into simple terms and practical strategies.
I combine that with my professional experience to create customized recommendations that work for you, while providing support and encouragement.
My goal is for you to feel informed and empowered to take on your goals, and to find nutrition normalcy and the balance that is right for you!
My areas of specialty include:
Medical Nutrition Therapy for prevention of chronic diseases
Recovery from chronic dieting, disordered eating, & eating disordersPlant-forward eating patterns
Plant-forward eating patterns
Intuitive and mindful based eating
Body image and body acceptance
