Meet Our Team

Nacia Walsh 

President & Founder, The Granolaville Group

Hello there lovely! I'm Nacia (pronounced Nuh-see-uh) --- wife, mom to 3 boys, writer, natural living lovah, and Birth Doula.

My personal path to holistic living all started with food. That cute (but very allergic) kiddo on my left forced our family to really look at what we were putting into our bodies. We are by no means the perfect "crunchy" family (my hubby has a fierce sweet tooth and I have a weakness for anything fried), but we do our best, and learn how to do better each day.

We've been eating too many processed foods, ignoring our deeper callings, relying on pharmaceuticals to cure EVERYTHING, and forgetting that all we need can be found in our backyards and inside of us.

Granolaville's mission is to empower mothers with the support, tools, and "crunchy goods" they need to create a life that nourishes them, mind, body and soul.

Juliana McClay

Director of Crunchy Operations

As a former accountant, Juliana refers to herself as a “MomBA”, which means these days she uses her MBA to manage the household and make Excel spreadsheets comparing diaper prices. She also holds a degree in Nutrition and believes in healing the body naturally with a wholesome diet before resorting to medical intervention. 

Juliana is a breastfeeding, cosleeping, babywearing mama to a chunky, delightful baby boy. She lives in the beautiful Hudson Valley with her wonderfully supportive husband and their adorably naughty pug. In her “free” time, Juliana can be found doing logic puzzles while the baby nurses or watching Star Trek with her hubby.
