She earned her Master’s in Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics from New York University and has a background training in medical nutrition therapy, providing individualized nutrition for the management of chronic and complex conditions.

She supported clients of all ages and backgrounds, offering nutrition care, therapeutic diets, and nutrition counseling for various conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, cancer, critical illness in the ICU, and pediatrics. Witnessing the powerful role nutrition plays in health outcomes and recovery inspired her to shift her focus toward prevention—helping people stay well, not just get well.

As a Certified Fertility Dietitian, she supports individuals and couples through key life stages, particularly fertility, preconception, and pregnancy, with nutrition and lifestyle interventions that can influence the health of future generations.

With so much conflicting information out there, Hennis is passionate about helping people cut through the noise, make informed choices, and create sustainable habits for living and feeling at their best.
