Our Team

 

Mari Geier  |  Co-Owner

Dedicated to destroying the phrase, "I can't,"  Nuts 'n Berries Co-owner, Mari Geier, has been active in the local Atlanta health movement for over 15 years.  A nutrition expert and Certified Health Coach, Mari has become Atlanta's foremost expert in hemp derived CBD and is always searching for creative solutions to help her clients and customers stay healthy. 

Mari grew up wanting to be the medicine man (think Sean Connery) and landed duel degrees in horticulture and anthropology from Penn state University.  After graduation, she hopped in her Grand Am and headed to Atlanta to start living that dream.  Working in a small retail garden center, she found her second love in small business.  She set off to learn everything she could and soon obtained her MBA.  20 years later, 14 of which she spent running her fitness business, The American Boot Camp Company, she has now come full circle and is surrounded daily with the herbs she once passionately studied and cultivated. 

Mari’s diverse background allows her to see health from many angles and gives her the ability to help others find their way to a healthier lifestyle.

Nelli Biddix, N.D.

Born in India, Nelli Biddix grew up in the mountains near the Himalayas. Spirituality and health have always been her keen focus, even as a child. Nelli was always looking for ways to help people with their health, take away their troubles and put a smile on their faces. She quickly realized that she was not suited for conventional medicine. Instead of masking symptoms with drugs and surgeries Nelli wanted to heal the body by understanding what was out of balance and working on the root cause so the body could heal. Her first professional job was in a health food store, which set her on the path of true healing. She went on to pursue her dream and became a certified Doctor of Naturopathy, a nutritional consultant, master herbalist and a health specialist.
