What People Are Saying
Menopause Coaching
When I first met Holly, I was experiencing symptoms that I didn’t realize were connected to menopause — low energy, poor sleep, and a diagnosis of osteopenia. I felt confused and unsure about what was happening in my body. Joining her 8-month workshop was truly transformative.
First and foremost, I discovered that what I was experiencing was common. Being in a circle of women who were going through similar changes was incredibly comforting and empowering. Holly created a space that was empathetic, supportive, and informative.
Holly is a knowledgeable and wise practitioner. She is a true wealth of knowledge when it comes to menopause, self-care, and nutrition. Throughout the workshop, she generously shared practical tools and resources on topics like bone health and hormones.
As I learned more, I was able to make meaningful changes in my daily habits and approach to my health. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, I now feel informed, empowered, and in charge of my menopause journey.
I am so grateful for Holly’s guidance and would highly recommend her to any woman navigating this stage of life.

Holly is an exceptional teacher whose depth of knowledge is matched by her genuine compassion. After taking her menopause retreat series, I feel far more informed about the complex issues of menopause, and I’ve applied what I learned both to my own health and to my work with clients as a holistic psychotherapist.
Her openness and heartfelt teaching create a safe, nurturing space where students feel truly seen and supported. Holly goes above and beyond, inviting expert guest teachers, offering nourishing snacks, and generously sharing resources to support continued growth. Her passion as a nutritionist and menopause coach shines through, and her joyful, positive spirit makes learning both meaningful and inspiring.

Nutrition Counseling
Holly is a wonderful nutrition counselor. As diet and food is something so intimate, to have a person who gets that level of understanding is rare these days.
She works with you, not AT you. Nothing is preached, everything is shared. I never felt judged by her, even though I might be judging myself. But even
when I was, she held space for me and my feelings, giving me the freedom to explore and find what works the best for me.
I would recommend Holly highly.

I have had the pleasure of working with Holly Shelowitz in several professional capacities. When I was seeking personal and individual support in healing and transforming food patterns, I found her warm, wise and non judgmental approach to be exactly what I needed to shift towards a more intuitive & joyful relationship with food and with cooking.

“As an employee who has attended many years of annual meetings, our past one was such a shot in the arm! I chose to go first to your Healthy 30 Minute Dinner class and was so captivated by your presentation, information gleaned and the amazingly tasty dinner you presented, I decided to stay for your second class, where you made another quick, healthy and wonderful meal, breakfast drinks, and snacks. Your kindhearted and personal presentation brought you into our midst, and you hooked me! Thank you for inspiring me to make big changes and continue on a more balanced journey! You were terrific.”

Classes Events
“Holly’s group cooking classes are more fun than you can imagine. In addition to the food being delicious, Holly creates a wonderful feeling of community. The classes are an opportunity for me to feel connected even though we are all in our own kitchens- and it inspires me to push my creativity. The classes are great for the novice as well as the more experienced cook. I have attended quite a few of them and always come away with some new, fresh recipes, renewed enthusiasm and a quiet confidence to take back to my own kitchen to create an inspired meal.”
– Beth, NJ
“As someone who knew very little about nutrition, and even less about how to navigate my way around a kitchen, I was completely blown away by the ease with which you were able to make me and the other chefs in disguise so comfortable. My biggest fear was feeling that the food I cooked would somehow not be edible. How wrong I was! Using the absolute finest of organic ingredients and preparing them in a simple, loving, and delicious way was a revelation. I now have the confidence to make healthy meals that not only taste good but also give me a true sense of accomplishment- thanks to your patient, professional guidance.”
– Bruce, Hawaii
