About Emily

Hi, my name is Emily! I began my career as a registered dietitian in a weight management and bariatric clinic to help patients create healthy lifestyle habits that are individualized and sustainable. I love assisting patients with a variety of health conditions by meeting them wherever they are in their own nutrition journey. I look forward to learning more about you and working with you to achieve your unique nutritional goals!

Approach to care

I believe nutrition is not a “one size fits all” but rather should be a fun and empowering experience that focuses on where you’re at and what you want to achieve. Getting to know my patients is a key priority and allows our sessions to flow with open communication in a laid-back environment. I support evidence-based nutritional guidelines while incorporating a balance of food choices that allow my patients to enjoy their favorites while taking steps toward a healthy lifestyle.

Your first session with Emily

At your first session, I want to spend time getting to know you and learn about your health and nutrition goals as well as your medical history and lifestyle. We will talk about what may have worked for you in the past along with barriers that you have faced previously. This will help us collaborate to create a sustainable plan for your specific wants and needs, so you are able to excel with Nourish!
