Nutrition Workshops with Grace Goodwin Dwyer
The standard nutrition advice women receive is confusing, contradictory, and shame-y. You’re searching to get the answers you need – but maybe feeling information-overload in the process. We're thrilled to share our collaboration with Grace Goodwyn Dwyer, MS, MA, RD, IBCLC to offer workshops that present a kinder and more effective approach to nutrition during motherhood.
Grace has spent her whole career helping women to better understand their personalized nutrition needs. With a strong background in maternal nutrition as well as lactation, her workshops will support you with warmth and expertise. You'll also have a community of women to connect with as we explore nutrition for ourselves and for our families.

Location:
Workshops are held in-person outdoors on Elizabeth's screened-in porch in Silver Spring, MD near the Sligo Avenue Neighborhood Park. The exact address will be sent to participants upon registration. Participants may also attend virtually. There is ample free street parking. We are about 1 mile from both the Silver Spring and Takoma metro stations and there are also busses from each of the stations that stop a block away (the 16 bus from Silver Spring and the 14 bus from Takoma). |
Pre-crawling babies are welcome but we do not have the space or childcare available for older babies, toddlers or children so they should be with another caregiver during the workshop.
Clicking submit will send us your registration and take you to the payment page.
