It all started...

in a cafe in the Berkshires. Sally and Holly first met there, discussing all the changes in healthcare and soon realized they shared a passion for connecting creativity and personal empowerment to health and functional medicine. Wellness, creativity, genetics, functional medicine, personalized diet and exercise programs -- all infused with an understanding that we are all vibrating energy, open to miracles of all kinds, with limitless potential. Sometimes in Life, you meet people with whom your mind can dance in wonder and potential. They decided that day to use their synergies to help create nutritional programs that would once-and-for-all help people.

Holly Niles, MS, CNS, LDN

Holly is a functional medicine nutritionist, IFM certified practitioner and lifestyle transformation specialist who is passionate about educating, guiding, coaching and assisting clients in creating optimal health.

Having been put on a diet at eight years old followed by multiple “diets” through her teens, Holly started to be curious about food and how to use food for health. That ignited much curiosity in alternative medicine and “health” food. She loved health food stores (still does) and was reading cookbooks and learning about Chiropractic and colon health in teen and college age years. Shifting a business career by taking a leap to work for her Chiropractor gave a front row seat to the power of harnessing the body’s innate wisdom to heal. Exploring and pursuing training in many alternative practices including traditional Chinese medicine and Chiropractic, then certifications in Phoenix Rising Yoga Therapy and Kripalu Yoga set the tone for what was to come. That interest in healthy lifestyle including food had only intensified leading her to become a certified Holistic nutritionist and then on to a Masters in Human Nutrition. That introduced her to the world of functional medicine: where we look at root causes of imbalances rather than just addressing symptoms.

She had the privilege of working as a Functional Medicine nutritionist for several years with Dr. Mark Hyman and his medical team at the UltraWellness center in Lenox, Massachusetts. Working with hundreds of patients at this premier functional medicine center offered her a wealth of experience and knowledge that she feels fortunate to have received. Working with that diverse client population has only deepened her commitment to the art and science of Functional Medicine. Her approach looks at the full spectrum of your life; all the varied aspects of your life combined to create the health or lack of health in your body. Every client is unique and to that end, she create specific individualized plans that combine research based medicine with user-friendly sustainable lifestyle changes.

“My personal journey has taught me that the body is designed to heal itself. It simply needs tools to work with such as: positive mental and emotional attitudes, good nutrition, eliminating toxins, deep breathing and a balance of rest and exercise. It’s all about building health and wellness”

SALLY LYNCH, MS, CDN

Sally started her nutrition path when her father was diagnosed with cancer at age twelve. She remembered wanting to “fix him”. Reading every nutrition book she could find, she filled her head with endless and new messages, including Linus Pauling recommended high doses of vitamin C to fight cancer and Frances Moore Lappe’s book, Diet for a Small Planet. Her dad survived, and Sally soon became a vegetarian, shopping at the local health food store where the tofu floated in dirty jars of cloudy water. Here she bought her first carob chips and cans of tahini that had to be pried open with a screwdriver. The tahini was so hard you had to use a screwdriver to mix it! Circa 1979. Her obsession with nutrition grew so she went on to study nutritional biochemistry at UCONN, sweeping the floors at the Lipids Laboratory, but eavesdropping on conversations about breast milk composition. After college, Sally opted out of joining the ranks of a traditional dietitian internship, and found herself in a rural village in Papua New Guinea, with no electricity, shower, toilet or running water, managing a nutrition rehabilitation unit. Humbled by her time there, she ventured away and set out on a deeper spiritual journey, bouncing around the Pacific Islands to Malaysia to Thailand to India to France and home again. She discovered that nutrition is important, but our soul’s journey has to lead the way. Connecting to our own self-knowledge is the key that unlocks the doors to the endless and glorious rooms inside each of us.

“My grandmother used to blame the ‘genies’ on everything — how my jeans fit, if I forgot where I put my keys, if I got mad at my mom. I used to wonder why she believed in these fantastical thoughts, and relegated it all to some mental disorder. But my grandmother was also ahead of her time, and very smart. Later in life, I asked her, ‘Gram, who are the genies, anyway?’
‘Oh, Sally, you have never heard of Watson and Crick?’
Genies are genes!
That was 1983.
Fast forward to 2021 and we’re only beginning to understand the tip of the genetic iceberg, and the implications of the genetic fingerprint that is unique to each of us.”
