About

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a master's degree in Nutrition and over 10 years of nutrition and culinary counseling experience. Personally, I have danced since I was 5 years old. Fueling my body used to be a challenge, as I often fell into a comparison mode and struggled with body image. However, I've since worked through that, relearned, and adapted to new behaviors. I have taught cooking classes to adults, teens, kids, and families. Now, I feel confident dancing and teaching, and I help people find joy in movement and food without feelings of shame or punishment. My specialties include working with clients who want to develop a healthier relationship with food through Intuitive Eating, clients who want to improve their cooking and meal prepping skills, postpartum moms, clients who want to prevent or improve chronic medical conditions, folks with gut health concerns, and those who need help improving their overall sense of well-being.

My coaching style

I have a no size fits all approach to nutrition and believe food is meant to be livable, doable, and fun. I believe the kitchen is the best place to learn and that no foods are off limits. I practice nutrition by listening to you, meeting you where you’re at, helping you make small changes overtime and enjoy all the bites along the way.

Food is about so much more than fuel. We will work together to help you nourish your body in a way that makes you feel your best.

Jessi Holden

Working with Jessi was like working with a longtime friend. She applied her years worth of experience and knowledge to customize an approach that was right for me. I gained confidence quickly and developed an even stronger relationship with my body and my food. During our weekly sessions, I always learned something new and our touchpoints throughout the week helped me get real time feedback and work through pain points. Now I can trust myself having had the right coaching and support to launch me forward on my journey!
