About Emma

Hi, I’m Emma! I’m originally from Long Island and currently living and working in Boston. I’ve been a Registered Dietitian since 2023 and have worked in clinical settings helping individuals manage conditions like diabetes, heart disease, kidney disease, and weight concerns. Growing up in a big family where food was central to connection and celebration, I developed a deep appreciation for both cooking and the role nutrition plays in overall well-being. I’m passionate about helping others build a positive, sustainable relationship with food.

Approach to care

As your dietitian, I aim to combine current research and evidence-based strategies with holistic wellness, compassion, and an understanding that everyone has different goals. I focus on client-centered care so it’s all about you. I’m committed to taking into account personal preferences and time-restraints to provide support and help with lasting change. I focus on sustainable habit building rather than quick fixes to create lasting change.

Your first session with Emma

Our first session will be a comprehensive, no pressure discussion about your health history, relationship with food, current food/lifestyle habits, and what you’re looking for from a dietitian. We’ll work together to establish personalized long-term goals and develop short-term, actionable steps to help get you there. I'll support you, hold you accountable, and keep the process practical and judgment-free.
