About Emmeline

As a wife and mom of three, I understand how precious our time is. I’m here to help you make the most of it by teaching you clear and concise nutrition education, helping you develop your skills to strategize meals and keeping you accountable to your health aspirations. My goal is to create a safe and empowering environment for you as you navigate your journey of growth and change. As for myself, I have finally decided to follow my true aspirations as well, building my private practice to serve as many as I can at a pace that works for my family and I. I look forward to getting to know you and building a new friendship with one another!

Approach to care

As a Registered Dietitian with over 10 years of experience, I've helped thousands achieve and maintain healthy weight loss. I am a teacher first; my goal is to help you understand how food supports your body and health conditions. My focus is on evidence-based strategy to give you true food freedom and confidence. I specialize in improving obesity-related diseases (Type 2 Diabetes, hypertension, joint problems, sleep apnea, etc.). My passion is medical weight management, including: GLP-1/GIP Medications (Ozempic, Mounjaro): I manage side effects (nausea, constipation), optimize protein to prevent muscle loss, and ensure sustainable results. Bariatric Surgery: Pre- and post-op support to give you the lifelong tools and education needed for success. I believe there are many facets to weight loss beyond food and nutrition alone, I am also a nutrition counselor that takes into account your personal lifestyle and environment to make the best plan for you!

Your first session with Emmeline

In our first session, I will ask you many questions to get to know you and learn how you operate. This is my favorite part as you can share with me all your challenges and strengths. I am a bit nosey, FYI, but the more I get to know you, the more I CAN HELP! This deep dive is especially important if you're navigating appetite changes, side effects, or focusing on muscle preservation while using medications like Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy or bariatric surgery. Knowing the details helps me personalize your plan. You can expect to leave your first session with a clear picture of what nourishes your body best right now, including strategies to build your first healthy plate. I know nutrition information can be overwhelming, especially when you're managing medication changes. I'll help you cut through the noise to focus on what truly matters for your journey. In the continuing sessions, we will plan and make goals to make your health aspirations come true.
