About Us
About me
Hello and welcome! I'm Jillian and I'm a registered dietitian and health coach.
I created this page out of equal parts passion and necessity. Passion because I love helping people connect their nutrition goals with reality. Necessity because I was tired of searching for healthy recipes and nutrition tips that often fell flat, were too confusing, or required way too much scrolling to make a point.
Why Nourish Squared?
I firmly believe that nutrition encompasses all things and there are no 'bad' foods, since food is not moral. It is food.
We can strive to nourish our bodies with healthy foods, but we can also nourish our soul by eating foods that bring us joy, happiness and connection with others.
In short, eat what makes YOU feel good.
My background
I have been a Registered Dietitian (RDN) for over a decade with a background working with Veterans, Fortune 500 companies,and collegiate athletes. As much as I loved my job and the clients I served, nothing trumps family.
In October of 2022 I had to step away from my life as an RDN to enter an unprecedented chapter of caring for a medically complex child and all the struggle that same with it.
Fast forward three years later, two children with a rare medical condition called Epidermolysis Bullosa (appropriately tagged the 'worst disease you've never heard of') and I was one mama struggling to find my identity outside of being a full-time caregiver.
I was ready to re-enter the world of nutrition. With a little help from some old colleagues, I began to host cooking classes at a local college, started to take on some amazing Veteran clients, created my own business and ultimately built this website.
