Hi, I’m Holly - Holistic Nutritionist & Founder of The Grounded Body


I help women reconnect to their bodies through a gut-first approach so they can finally feel lighter, more supported, and at peace in their skin.

But I didn’t get here by accident.

For years, I lived in a body that felt foreign to me. A body that was inflamed, bloated, and weighed down-not just physically, but emotionally too. I was doing “all the right things,” yet nothing felt right. When I was eventually diagnosed with lipedema, it gave me a name for what I was experiencing, but not the roadmap for how to support myself day-to-day.

That part I had to figure out on my own.

What I discovered was that no matter what protocol I tried, compression, movement, lymphatic work, nothing made a lasting difference until I addressed what was happening on the inside.

That’s when everything changed.

My Approach: Rooted in the Gut, Not in Gimmicks

I’m not here to overwhelm you with science or offer a one-size-fits-all plan for lipedema. While I’ve studied lipedema deeply and understand its complexities, my work focuses on the internal systems that are often overlooked-especially digestion.

I don’t believe lipedema can be managed through symptom control alone. I believe true relief begins in the gut.

Why? Because your digestive system plays a foundational role in how your body processes nutrients, clears toxins, regulates hormones and supports your lymphatic system. When digestion is sluggish or compromised, everything else, your energy, inflammation, immune function, and even your emotional well-being can feel off balance.

Thats where I come in.

Rather than focusing solely on lipedema from a clinical sense, I help women rebuild their internal foundation. I guide you through nourishing, sustainable practices that restore digestive function and support your body from the inside out so you feel lighter, clearer, and more grounded in your own skin.

If you’ve been told “just manage your symptoms” but you’re craving a deeper shift- you’re in the right place.

I don’t have all the answers - and I don’t believe any one practitioner does.

What I do have is a deep understanding of the digestive system, a grounded approach rooted in education, and a commitment to helping you connect the dots in a way that finally makes sense. I’m not here to promise a fix or a cure. I’m here to walk alongside you, to support your body’s ability to function more optimally from the inside out, and to help you understand why you’re feeling the way you are - and shift that.

What You’ll Find Here

This isn’t about perfection, restriction, or fixing yourself.

It’s about tuning in.

It’s about building trust with your body.

And it’s about making sustainable shifts that support you long after any program ends.

Whether you’ve been navigating lipidema for years or you’re just beggining to explore what’s going on with your digestion, I’m here to walk beside you.

Let’s rebuild your foundation. From the inside out.
