Meet the Team
Owner, RD/N and Period Recovery Specialist with over 10+ years experience
I knew I’d found my calling when I realized I could combine my passion for food with my deep desire to help women heal—from the inside out. Today, I feel so fortunate to wake up every day and guide women in getting their periods back, restoring their fertility, and reclaiming a life of true nourishment.
My own journey with disordered eating and orthorexia runs deep. After years of rigid food rules and losing my period post–birth control, I finally made peace with food, reconnected with my body, and discovered what I now call wellness without obsession. That healing work brought me back to a consistent, natural cycle—and ultimately, motherhood.
I live in Greenville, SC with my high school sweetheart and husband, Nick, and our two daughters, Madelyn and Annabelle. I’m a lover of all things boho, floral dresses in every color, good music, yoga and lifting, dark chocolate, mineral mocktails, and weekends on the lake in our boat.
Elise Liu, RD/N and Period Recovery Specialist
I’m a recovering all-or-nothing thinker who’s lived through the highs and lows of trying to “eat perfectly.” Years of undereating in high school left me period-less, moody, cold, and constantly running on empty. Deep down, I knew my body could heal, if I just stopped fighting it. So I let go of control, embraced intuitive eating, and gave myself full permission to rest and nourish. As a result, my period came back and with it, energy, clear skin, and a whole new sense of freedom.
Now, I help other women do the same. Whether you’re navigating hypothalamic amenorrhea, want to regulate your cycle naturally, or are preparing your body for pregnancy, I’m here to help you reconnect with your body and feel empowered in your fertility journey.
I’m a registered dietitian and certified intuitive eating counselor with 6+ years of experience serving tech professionals in San Francisco from companies including LinkedIn, Meta, Nvidia, and more. I live in San Francisco with my fur baby, Pumpkin. When I’m not supporting clients, you’ll find me hosting brunch, solo traveling, or having deep belly laughs at a stand-up show.
Rachel Mahalow, RD/N and Functional Lab Expert
I’m a functional dietitian who helps women bridge the gap between their most frustrating metabolism and hormone symptoms so they can finally find answers, confidence, and lasting results.
My passion lies in simplifying complex science into clear, actionable nutrition strategies that actually work in real life. With a specialization in hair mineral testing, I use data to uncover what your body’s been trying to tell you — and help you restore balance between your metabolism, hormones, and energy.
Here at Nourishing Minds Nutrition, I’m the functional lab expert and the specialist creating each of your mineral protocols based on your HTMA results.
When I’m not with clients, you can find me in the kitchen testing new recipes, chasing my two-year-old niece, or rewatching The Vampire Diaries.
