Welcome to Holistically Nourished. I'm Geri, the owner and a Holistic Nutrition Professional in El Dorado Hills, CA. My husband, kiddos, doggos, and I call the Sierra Foothills home, where we enjoy cycling, canoeing, and exploring the local trail network.
My Story - I was raised on the Central Coast and studied biology while playing tennis as a student-athlete at Sonoma State University. I continued my education through Maryland University of Integrative Health where I completed my MS in Nutrition and have since become Board Certified in Holistic Nutrition®.
My passion for healthy living began on an unhealthy note. Without adequate knowledge then, my high school mind became obsessed with the ideal fit, female body. Through exercise addiction and extreme food restrictions, I set my body up for severe malnutrition and digestive issues that took years to resolve. As someone guilty of trying popular diet fads and reading up on all the home remedies for gut healing, I'm very familiar with the conflicting information one can find online.
What you'll get from working with me - I utilize a whole-person approach to create a wellness plan tailored to you. Bioindividuality is the idea that every individual is different, and therefore, no one diet or gym routine fits all. Each meeting consists of realistic goal setting, discussion of any challenges, education, and helpful handouts. Clients can also take advantage of labs to assess microbiome health, hormone balance, and nutritional status if desired. You are provided with recommendations and tools to stay on track in achieving your wellness goals. Through the use of the Healthie Inc. software platform, you have access to 24/7 accountability and fine-tuning. Not sure that your dinner idea fits the dietary recommendations? Simply send me a picture or recipe and I can be there to provide feedback as needed.
