Grace Voorheis

About Grace

My name is Grace, I specialize in pediatric and maternal nutrition counseling as a Registered Dietitian (RD). I'm board certified in pediatric nutrition (CSP), and also as a board certified lactation consultant (IBCLC). In a nut shell, I'm an expert at growing babies! I have worked with food and families, in different capacities, for almost 20 years. Since becoming an RD, I've worked at the largest pediatric and maternity hospital in Northern California, gaining experience in every pediatric specialty, from Autism Spectrum Disorder to Zellweger syndrome. Outside of work, you’re most likely to find me outside with my two young kids, either on a hike or digging in the mud kitchen.

Approach to care

I firmly believe that you know yourself and your family best, and I'm here to help you met your own goals with nutrition and overall health. I provide Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) using evidence-based strategies, backed by years of clinical experience. I have a deep background in counseling and take an empathetic, family-based approach to support my clients.

Your first session with Grace

After I review your past medical history, we'll start with an opportunity for you to express what you'd like to get out of our time together. After that, we'll go through a review of what a typical day looks like for you, from diet to exercise to medications/supplements. As a team, we'll talk about any changes that may be beneficial considering your health history and come up with specific, actionable strategies to accomplish your goals.
