What people are saying.

  • She opened my eyes to things I didn't even realize could be effecting my stomach (like watching TV while eating, not chewing enough, not eating consistently enough). I feel like I have a healthier relationship with food, more freedom to eat what I want and not feel bad. I listen to my body instead of restricting, that always leads to binging. I take things I hear, like from social media, about food with a grain of salt and don't subscribe (literally and metaphorically) to scare tactics.

  • Working with Emily really opened my eyes to things I wasn't even aware of. For example, I had basically stopped being aware of my own hunger/full cues because I denied them for so long. Emily helped me make a plan and educated me on recognize when I was feeling hungry and when I was full. That has been revolutionary for me. I hadn't even recognized that I was a yo-yo dieter. Additionally, Emily helped me see some negative behaviors I was engaging in (body pinching, body checking) and encouraged me toward more positive behaviors and thoughts. She sent me helpful articles to read and we discussed ways to change my way of thinking about and how I treat my body.

  • "It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks" It sounds very simple to eat healthy - but old habits are hard to break. After each session, we set simple goals. Emily was and is patient with me - encouraging healthy changes and never judgmental. Therefore, little changes one at a time have developed and are becoming a part of my of my routine without having to think about it...I would definitely recommend Emily's services to others. Emily is so knowledgeable, kind, understanding and passionate about helping her clients live their very best life in a healthy and knowledgeable way.

  • Emily curated a plan to help mitigate the symptoms of IBS that I was experiencing. She was patient, listened to all of my needs, and curated a plan that was unique to me. She not only helped me figure out exactly what my triggers were, but educated me on what was going on in my body. She went above and beyond my expectations. She changed my life, and for that I’ll be forever grateful.

  • "Emily devoted the time to answering my nutrition questions that my physicians did not. My sessions with Emily were so incredibly helpful. I have recommended her widely and will continue to do so."

  • Thru my time with Emily I have been able to better understand how my food intake can effect not only my weight but also my energy and the way my body processes food. I eat 3 meals a day now instead of the one or two that I was previously. I was starving myself. Now I eat well and feel great!

  • My adolescent/teenage daughters loved working with Emily, which I think surprised them both! Apart from valuable nutrition education, they gained quite a bit of insight into their own habits by doing the due diligence of recording and reporting what they were eating/drinking, weighing the nutritional value with Emily, and considering favorable modifications based on their review together. This gave them confidence to own their choices, and in the cases of both daughters (they worked with Emily separately), Emily’s approach motivated them to consistently make better choices…independently! They even occasionally still make a point of volunteering what they would have done before meeting with Emily and what they are choosing to do instead!

  • "I feel like Emily knows me. I know she has many clients, but she obviously takes good notes or has a great memory because she remembers my challenges. She is very positive and uplifting. One of the most positive impacts from this process for me is knowing that no food is off limits. Good nutrition comes from real food!"

  • Emily was very thorough and gave me some great material. [She] was very informative. Emily was also very personable; as well as knowledgeable about my conditions.

    — Denise Leath

  • “Excellent experience and I appreciate that the session was centered around my health issues and not just a generic overview on nutrition. I had specific problems when I came and I really felt that they were addressed better than by the gastrointestinal doctors that I have seen in the past... Thank you very much.”

  • I’m a great deal more aware of what causes my issues and that they aren’t damaging. I now eat most everything I want to-and mindfully!
