About Emily

Hi there! I have been helping people feel their best through nutrition for the past seven years. I've worked with all kinds of clients—from folks recovering in the hospital to those navigating weight loss, managing diabetes, going through cancer treatment, or just trying to make sense of food in their everyday lives.

Approach to care

I believe nutrition should be practical, personalized, and never one-size-fits-all. Whether you're looking to make small changes or big ones, I'm here to support you with real-life strategies and a no-judgment approach. Let’s work together to find what feels good for you!

Your first session with Emily

During our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other. I’ll ask about your health history, lifestyle, eating habits, and goals—no pressure, just a relaxed conversation to understand where you're coming from. Together, we’ll create a plan that fits your life, your preferences, and your needs. My goal is to make sure you leave feeling heard, supported, and motivated.
