What Our Patients Say About Holly
Holly Herrington, MS, RD
“Holly was fantastic! She immediately made me feel comfortable and explained things in a way that made so much sense. I appreciate that she understands why healthy eating has been challenging for me in the past. I thought I was going to be overwhelmed by all the information and that I was going to find the process cumbersome but Holly’s approach consisting of setting realistic and achievable goals makes me feel like I’m going to be able to do this. I feel supported and encouraged by her.”
“I’ve met with many dieticians (at least four) over the years — all of whom have been highly qualified and good at their jobs. In one session, Holly surpassed them all. She gave highly practical, customized advice and met me where I am. I enjoyed the session, left with reasonable action steps, and most importantly felt hopeful about making lasting change.”
