Toni Holley, RD

I am a dedicated dietitian with a passion for both food and fitness, backed by a robust academic and professional background. I earned my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Nutrition and Dietetics, equipping me with clinical expertise to make a lasting impact on individuals and communities.

​

With hands-on experience in both university and hospital settings, I have worked closely with diverse populations to provide evidence-based nutritional guidance. In the university setting, I collaborated with university meal plans and restaurants to accommodate various dietary needs and promote healthy eating habits. My role included counseling students on nutrition for optimal academic performance, stress management, and managing lifestyle-related health issues. In the hospital setting, I gained invaluable experience working with patients to create personalized nutrition plans for various medical conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, and obesity, ensuring they received the proper support for recovery and long-term health.

​

Outside of my professional work, I enjoy exploring culinary creativity and spending time in nature. Developing healthy meals reflects my belief that food can be both flavorful and nutritious. My interests in hiking, camping, and rock climbing have inspired my holistic approach to health, emphasizing balance, mindfulness, and well-being. 

​

I am a mother of two and have recognized the dearth of resources for parents of picky eaters. This has inspired me to specialize in helping families with picky eaters develop healthier, more positive relationships with food. With a compassionate, non-judgmental approach, I utilize evidence-based guidance to support parents in overcoming their child’s food aversions and establishing lasting, balanced eating habits. With an approach rooted in intuitive eating, I work collaboratively with parents to empower their child to listen to their bodies, trust their hunger cues, and find joy in eating without pressure or guilt. Using motivational interviewing techniques, I help parents explore their child’s motivations, set realistic  goals, and create personalized strategies that align with their unique needs and lifestyles.
