About Emily

Hi! I'm Emily, a Registered Dietitian dedicated to supporting individuals and families through every stage of life. I have an extensive background in acute care specializing in pediatric nutrition — working with infants, toddlers, school-age children, and adolescents. My goal is to help foster healthy habits, growth, and development in a supportive and practical way. I also work closely with individuals navigating pre- and postnatal nutrition, helping new and expecting parents feel confident and nourished during this transformational time. I have a strong interest in women’s health and offer evidence-based guidance for managing PCOS with realistic, sustainable strategies. Needless to say, I am well-versed in every stage of life, and offer nutrition therapy for a wide range of medical conditions such as Diabetes, Heart Health, and Weight Management - as well as GLP-1 associated weight changes.

Approach to care

My approach is rooted in compassion, empowerment, and personalization. I want to be able to build trust and meet you where you are! I use evidenced-based nutrition strategies and create individualized nutrition plans tailored to you. Whether I’m helping a parent introduce solids, guiding parents through picky eating, helping adolescents build a healthy relationship with food, or supporting women through PCOS or pregnancy; I focus on education, collaboration and lifelong habits. I believe nutrition should never feel overwhelming or restrictive.

Your first session with Emily

I want to know all about YOU! We will discuss your medical history, relationship with food, and overall lifestyle. I want to tailor a specific nutrition plan to help you achieve your nutrition goals! We are going to take steps to ensure that we can achieve whatever it is that led you to book an appointment with me.
