About Holly

Hi there! I'm Holly, a registered dietitian and intuitive eating counselor. I have two decades experience providing nutrition coaching and therapy. I'm passionate about helping others take a realistic approach to health and nutrition, and I'd love to help you get started!

Approach to care

I approach health and nutrition from a non-diet lens, prioritizing a person's overall wellbeing and longevity. I am aligned with Health at Every Size (HAES) because I believe everyone should have food and body autonomy, without experiencing the stress of dieting. When I work with others, I strive to honor each person’s individual needs and preferences while working towards their goals. I translate science-based information into simple terms and practical strategies to create a balanced and free relationship with food. Cultivating and maintaining body respect is also a large part of our work together.

Your first session with Holly

Through nutrition counseling and coaching, I will work with you on meal planning strategies and behavioral changes to figure out what a realistic approach to food looks like, while taking into account your own personal wants and needs. We may review your current eating habits and lifestyle factors first. Then, after we brainstorm together, you will leave the session with specific strategies and tangible changes you can use to begin working towards your intended goals.
