Harmons Dietitians

Janelle Leatherwood takes a balanced approach to nutrition, helping people discover foods that are both nourishing and enjoyable while supporting their health goals.

Her passion for food and nutrition began at home, where planning and preparing meals for her family sparked a lifelong interest in helping others enjoy delicious, nourishing food. As a mother of four, she appreciates both quick family meals for busy weeknights and more elaborate dishes for special occasions. She shares Armenian family recipes and Mediterranean-inspired dishes through her personal food blog. Her love of cooking naturally led her to Harmons, where she enjoys discovering quality ingredients and helping others create meals they love.

Janelle brings a strong clinical foundation in nutrition, with experience caring for both pediatric patients in acute care and older adults in skilled nursing. She earned her Master of Science in Applied Nutrition with a Dietetics focus from the University of New England and a bachelor's degree in communications from Brigham Young University. Her time as an au pair in Belgium further shaped her appreciation for food, language, and culture.

In her leisure time, you can find her enjoying the outdoors with her family, reading, or tending to her vegetable garden. At Harmons, Janelle serves customers at the Traverse Mountain, Orem, and Taylorsville locations, offering one-on-one nutrition counseling, inspiration for family meals, and guidance for managing chronic disease.

Janelle will be available to customers at our Traverse Mountain, Orem, and Taylorsville stores. She can be reached at 385-352-8023 or via email at janelleleatherwood@harmonsgrocery.com.
