I downsized just this last time (yesterday) -- have been on small to med sized rats this past year or so, but yesterday just went with a large mouse, but still no interest. So I'll just keep at a regular schedule, making sure all settings are ideal.

Does it make a difference whether or not I take her out and hold her for a bit first, kind of get her moving before I put her back in to feed her? Or should I just plop in the food, and not touch her right before?

What I can suggest is to triple check your husbandry and make sure everything is good. I have had success with boosting the ambient air temp in my reptile room for some of my females that have gone off food.

What size prey item are you feeding? You might just intice her to eat if you give her a smaller prey item, something smaller then what she normally eats.

Keep an eye on her weight and feed her on her normal feeding schedule and when she is ready she will start feeding again.
