Learn To Trust Your Body
Intuititve eating dietitian & nutrition therapist
Non-diet and weight-inclusive nutrition and body image counseling for those who want to improve their physical, mental, and emotional health and find peace with food.
If your relationship with food and your body are keeping you stuck in stress, distrust, and fear, instead of confidence, pleasure, and knowledge, you’re in the right place.
Introducing
The Pleasure Project
15 conversations in 45 days.
During January and February, 2024, I am gifting 15 people a 90-minute deep dive conversation.
During this conversation, we will explore how you can feel better about food, your health, and your body, while addressing the guilt, shame, anxiety, frustration, overwhelm, perfectionism, and all of the ways in which our cultural conditioning has shaped the way you relate to and care for yourself.
Ways To Work With Me
Work With Me 1-1

Your body is not the enemy.
If a tumultuous relationship with food and your body is keeping you from nourishing yourself well and without self-blame and rigidity, you may have some healing to do. Not fixing – healing.
Often in our society, we are taught the size and shape of our body is the most important thing about us. This can cause disconnection and disorder, not to mention mental and emotional pain.
Reconnecting with the internal wisdom of your body can provide you with a smooth and loving way of nourishing yourself. You can unlearn the self-criticism and “I should lose weight” in your head, on repeat.
Build confidence and trust in yourself to make food decisions that honor your health, your body, and your palate.
A non-diet, healing approach to food understands that no two bodies are alike.
If food feels angsty, there is something going on. We’ll work to address the source and build nutrition and self-care solutions.
Addressing the system that creates dysfunction is essential for healing and for building habits of self-care and self-love. Once you understand this, you can rebuild the way you think and act with food, movement, and self-care. You’ll use rational and logical approaches to eating so you feel balanced, in control, and normal. And are still enjoying your food – maybe more than ever.
No matter what your health situation, changing your eating habits doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Our society’s cultural beliefs around healthy food and healthy bodies – if left unexamined, are informing your choices.
This is especially true for women.
We can unpack that.
Hi, there
I’m Emily
My clients call me a food therapist
I am a non-diet and weight-inclusive intuitive eating dietitian, nutrition therapist, and body image healer. I’m HAES-aligned, trauma-informed, and a little unconventional. I’m kinda like a food, body image, health, and life coach all in one.

My Process
Working with an intuitive eating dietitian can improve your health and help you like (and maybe even love) eating again.
1. Book A Discovery Call
If you might want to work together, let’s chat and get to know each other a little. Set up a time that works for you in my online scheduler. If you don’t see any times that work for you or if you’d rather write to me to find out more before you book a discovery call, email me and we’ll go from there.
2. Choose A Plan
During the discovery call (or via email) we’ll talk about what’s going on for you with food, health, and your body image. I’ll try and understand more about you and your goals. Based on what you’re dealing with mentally and physically, and what type of format you work best in, we’ll decide together if individual work or my group program would be best. We’ll also talk about payment options and sheduling logistics.
3. Our Work Together
If you’re coming to me to heal your relationship with food or to find non-diet approaches to ongoing health issues, I usually suggest a 6-month committment to start, touching base weekly or biweekly. I typically see people for 6 months – 1 year, sometimes longer. Real solutions take time and committment. But everyone is unique and some people just need a few sessions to get what they need.
4. Fly Off On Your Own
Often this type of healing work takes time and practice. It’s not a one-and-done type of deal. Once the core of the food and body work can come to a natural end, we’ll come up with a plan to teeter off of our work and for you to continue practicing your new tools on your own.
I can’t wait to see you build confidence with food and trust in your body.
what clients are saying
Sydney Scott
“With PCOS, I would get the advice “Just lose weight”, and I knew that was not the answer I was looking for. Emily is non-judgemental and empathetic, which helped me unpack the weight bias I’ve experienced and my beliefs about food and my body. To put it best, working with Emily has transformed my relationship with food. I’ve healed major anxieties around food and learned how to fuel and energize my body in a way that supports my lifestyle and health. I enjoy food again and am way less stressed about it. I wish everyone I knew could work with Emily.”
Roslyn Dubberstein
“My relationship to food has completely transformed. I used to constantly feel I had to make “better” choices. Now, I check in with myself and am more attuned to my needs. I am still learning about my body’s cues every day, but by giving myself the freedom to explore food without restriction, I no longer feel an urgency to eat certain foods and then “start over” the next day. It’s been really cool to allow myself to ENJOY the food! Emily’s support, compassion, and ability to listen, combined with expertise made a huge difference.”
Change Your Life
When femmes are nourished, thriving, and boldly claiming what they need, everyone wins.
