Our History:
Harmony Nutrition founder, Abby Jellinek–Johnson was born and raised in Marietta Georgia and now resides very close to where she grew up with her husband and three kids. Abby started her career in the health and fitness field as a certified personal trainer, graduating from Indiana University with a degree in Kinesiology in 2005. Her passion for health and wellness led her to pursue a career as a dietitian completing her Master’s Degree in Dietetics in 2014 from Georgia State University. Abby spent two years working for Children’s Health Care of Atlanta at a specialty clinic called the Aerodigestive clinic where she had the opportunity to work with children with digestive and pulmonary conditions. Abby went on to continue her work with children by working with the Center for Rare Neurological Diseases where she continues to contribute to nutrition research on rare neurological conditions including Rett Syndrome, GLUT 1 deficiency, and Pitt Hopkins Syndrome. With her combined experience in sports and personal training, pediatrics, GI, and weight loss Abby recognized a need for healthcare professionals that would take the time to listen to them and provide individualized nutrition in a different way. She envisioned a place where people could get individualized care using evidence–based nutrition from top notch dietitians. In 2018, Harmony Nutrition was born. As the Harmony team grew, Abby looked for dietitians who wanted to go the extra mile for patients by making sure patients fully understood their health condition. Abby built a strong team of registered dietitians who demonstrated the ability to tailor their teaching approach to meet the patient where they are. And that is how Harmony Nutrition was born.
Frequently Ask Questions
What is unique and cutting edge about your practice?
Your nutrition recommendation should be as unique as you are. We do not use “cookie cutter” types of nutrition education. We are able to tailor your nutrition plan to your lifestyle, dietary restrictions, and goals. We break through the surface of common therapy approaches by looking for the root cause of nutrition related issues such as difficulty losing weight despite a seemingly sound diet, chronic migraines, GI related symptoms, poor energy levels and more. Our use of functional testing, when necessary, allows us to recommend individualized dietary and supplemental recommendations to help our patients achieve an optimal level of wellness.

Don't you need to weigh me? How does that work with virtual appointments?
Patients for whom weigh-ins are necessary, we rely on our patients to do home weigh-ins and record them in our patient portal. Not all patients are comfortable weighing themselves due to histories of disordered eating patterns, for example. In these cases, we use other parameters to measure success as we recognize that weight is not the only variable that indicates a patient’s success with nutrition modifications.
Why do you require a credit card on file?
Credit cards are kept on file in case of no-shows or late cancellations. This helps to ensure that we are able to see patients who wish to be seen in a timely manner by minimizing time slots being reserved by patients who do not show up to appointments. We also require a form of payment on file for any co-pays or deductible fees for appointments. Patients are always notified of a balance due and given payment options when needed if someone is unable to pay their balance in full. Our patient portal is secure and encrypted. We understand the hesitation in providing credit card information to any company. This trust is not something we take lightly and we pride ourselves on being very easy to work with on any balances due. We also understand that sometimes late cancelations are unavoidable and in certain situations we will waive a cancellation fee as a one-time courtesy.
