A Holistic Approach To Nutrition
Congratulations on taking the initiative to work towards your best self, and I’m honored you are considering taking that journey with me! If you read the “Meet Molly” section, you’ll know that I take an individualized approach. The first step is understanding your lifestyle, challenges, and goals. We will work together to set positive intentions and I will be by your side to support and motivate you along the way. I approach nutrition holistically. We will be discussing stress management, sleep habits, support circles, and exercise, as all of these affect your food choices and ability to achieve your goals.
While each client receives a unique meal plan, I have a few key principles that I instill in everyone.
My Food Philosophy
1. Be empowered.
I will teach you how to navigate food labels and what to look out for. If you can’t pronounce a food ingredient listed on the package, or the expiration date is in the next decade, you’re going to want to think again.
2. Choose local and organic when possible.
Get to know your local farms! Be responsible and take the time to understand how your meat, dairy, or produce was raised or grown. We will discuss the effect of inhumane farming practices on your body and the environment.
3.Eat mostly plants, and keep it colorful!
Vegetables should be included in every meal. The more colors, the wider variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants you receiving.
4. Protein & fiber at every meal.
We will chat about what this looks like and why this is the key to weight management and stable energy with no feelings of deprivation.
5. Fat is our friend.
Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids are vital to our health as they help us absorb fat-soluble nutrients, aid in satiety, and keep our skin, hair, and nails strong and glowing.
6. Limit sugar.
I avoid labeling foods as “good” or “bad”, but in the case of sugar, it is on the bad guy list. Sugar is addictive, toxic, and hidden in a lot of seemingly healthy products. This is a tough one but when you are eating right, the sugar cravings start to subside.
7. Be mindful.
We will do exercises to help you get back in tune with your body. Many of us have forgotten how to listen to hunger and satiety cues!

“While I feel fairly knowledgeable about nutrition and a healthy lifestyle, making positive changes sometimes feels overwhelming while juggling the demands of work and family. Molly’s positive energy is contagious and I find that just sitting down with her empowers me to shift from merely thinking about how life could be to actually going out and committing to change. I suddenly find the time to prepare overnight oats, book a new fitness class and prepare more banana pancakes and homemade pizzas for my children!”
“My time working with Molly was absolutely perfect! From the beginning, I never felt judged for what I ate (even if I ate an entire bag of candy corn...which I did do one day), and I got so many helpful tips to curb cravings in the future. As a college student trying to navigate the world or indulgence (otherwise known as New Orleans), Molly is incredibly helpful. Whenever I went out with friends, I would send the menu, and in return, I would get 2-3 healthy options back. I learned that it is possible to have fun and still eat healthy—and that lesson in invaluable. I am so thankful I found Molly!”
“What I gained during those 8 weeks never involved a diet, is was about learning to be intuitive and smart with my eating. Through Molly’s guidance I lost 12 pounds, but gained so much more. During my family vacation to Orlando I wasn’t a raging diet monster. If I wanted to indulge I did, and mindfully, and when I was over it, I moved on. It sounds simple, and it wasn’t. But having the accountability of knowing someone would check over my food journals, give me advice, and be supportive was helpful. I think the best compliment came when my cousin said, “I’m so glad we can all sit and enjoy a meal, and you’re not over there eating something depressing.” Full disclosure, this was while we were at a Mexican restaurant where I had all the veggies they could pile on a skillet with some chicken and salsa.”
“Molly has been extremely helpful to me. I have been trying to lose weight for six years and I have not been successful. After working with Molly, I lost 10 pounds in just a few months. Molly has also helped me in many other ways. She has improved my lifestyle, diet, and day to day routine. I’m eating healthier, I have learned the science behind nutrition, I am exercising, and taking supplements to boost my health. She is very focused on details, is very knowledgeable about the science behind healthy living, is passionate about her job, and is extremely responsive. She is great at what she does and I am grateful for her guidance and support as I continue to live a healthy lifestyle. I strongly recommend her to anyone who is looking to make a positive change in their life. ”
