“Ricci-Lee is an outstanding dietitian. She ha been working with me for almost 3 years to help me manage my unique dietary needs due to bariatric surgery and intense physical activity multiple days a week. I would not be as healthy without her guidance.”

“I've enjoyed working with Ricci-Lee for some time now, a couple of years I think. I don't believe I could overstate how important her nutritional advice and counsel has been to my improvement in personal health during that time. I'm stronger physically and mentally, I've shed a quarter of my body weight, experienced improvements in every health metric, and I have all the energy I need to be active every day including running or hiking, Pilates, ballroom dance lessons, and more. Ricci-Lee is a great coach with just the right mix of expertise, encouragement, firmness and good humor. As a dancer, she knows exactly what I need. Thanks Ricci-Lee!”

I’m Ricci-Lee Hotz, MS, RDN, LDN.

Our nutrition philosophy is unique in that we focus on providing:
Evidence-based, individualized nutrition recommendations focusing on moderation, variety, and how to fit patients’ favorite foods into a healthy eating lifestyle.
This can improve quality of life for many individuals who feel they must restrict certain foods to be healthy or lose weight.
In addition, I have a special passion for working with individuals with:
Eating Disorders (including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and orthorexia) and body image difficulties in relation to nutrition and food choices
Athletes and Dancers in order to help them reach their maximum, well rounded athletic and performance potential.
Gastrointestinal Conditions and/or individuals who cannot tolerate all foods providing them advice on which foods to be eliminated, which foods can still be eaten, and necessary supplementation to ensure optimal nutrition status.
We provide care over a virtual platform to ensure access to a wide variety of clientele in need of nutrition services.
When I am not working with my amazing clients in my nutrition practice, I am a professional ballroom dance competitor and instructor and enjoy combining my passions for dance and nutrition.

Ricci-Lee is an excellent dietitian. I’ve worked with her for over a year and she is always knowledgeable and encouraging. She’s helped me improved my relationship with food and my eating patterns, while helping me loose weight in a sustainable way. She’s also very responsive to messages and concerns in between appointments. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

I started this journey with Ricci-Lee back in October 2018 and I have to say that she is fantastic at her job! She is one of those people that cares about you and will work with you to get the results you want as long as you are committed to change. I know that everyone has different reasons for improving their nutrition some just want to be better, maybe looking for a permanent solution to managing their weight because diets DON'T WORK , or maybe they needed to due to their health what every the case maybe Ricci-Lee is the right person for the job.
Example: before I was 447 currently I am 305.
Thanks Ricci-Lee you honestly mean a lot to me,
