Patient reviews
āIm so grateful to be working with Emily!She is a safe space to talk to in regards to health and nutrition. As someone with a new dx of PCOS and hashimotos, having Emily on my team of healthcare professionals has been invaluable. I never feel judged (which is huge for me as I tend to judge myself a lot), and my health plan is tailored to me and my goals. I never feel like im given unsolicited advice, everything is just a conversation, and Emily does a great job facilitating that conversation :) ā

āEmily helped me achieve my nutrition goals after only a few sessions! She is very knowledgable and helpful with learning more about balancing meals, coming up with attainable goals, and reaching larger goals. She is such a great nutritionist and I would recommend her to everyone! She is friendly, remembers details about you, and offers great advice with recipe suggestions and solutions to barriers. 10/10 recommend!!!ā

āEmily is very knowledgeable and approaches care with empathy and compassion. Being diagnosed as prediabetic at 26 felt scary and isolating but having such a kind, approachable dietician who genuinely cares has been so helpful. I love how she frames nutrition in a realistic way and Iām so grateful for all her guidance!ā
