Hi, I'm Emily.
I'm so glad you're here. Whoever you are, you are welcome.
We all deserve to feel comfortable, free, and grounded in the vessel that we walk through the world in. Your body is your home. Our culture is often not kind to those who do not fit into the "ideal" body shape and size (not to mention skin color, gender, and ability). This is oppressive and I believe my life's work is to be a guide toward healing and peace. I want to help you hone your relationship with food, eating, and your body to a place where you are comfortable, happy, and vibrant. No fad diets. No quick fixes. Health, healing, and liberation.
The research is clear, diets do not work. An incredibly high percentage (95-98%!) of people who diet end up worse off than they started - mentally and physically. But somehow we continue to "believe" that weight loss is the answer to so many problems. The truth is it is just not.
I help people all over the country make positive changes to the way they think about food, movement, and self-care. We'll work together to reach your goals in sustainable, healthy ways. I am committed to creating as safe a place as possible to help you work through your relationship to food so that you can feel calm and balanced. I work with people of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, identities, and abilities to find a peaceful and hopeful way to think about and nourish your one and only unique body.

My path.... and my credentials
After studying communications in undergrad and spending years wandering (slightly) aimlessly around NYC, I found myself with some very irritating digestive problems. I slowly learned how to cook healthy and delicious food that made me feel better. One day it dawned on me I had found my calling. I decided to go back to school to become a dietitian. I earned a masters degree in nutrition science from Texas State University (I have an aversion to half-baked health trends and wanted to really know my shit) and did the training to become a registered dietitian. Because of the years of yo-yo dieting, disordered eating, and body shame I endured in my teens and 20s, I was committed to teaching nutrition in a radically different way.
Enter - the anti-diet world. I became a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. I am regularly undergoing additional trainings in nutrition and mental healthcare in order to be the most skilled, effective, inclusive, compassionate, and well-rounded clinician I can be. I want to create as safe as place as possible for you to explore and heal your relationship to food, your body, and yourself. And live healthy on your terms.
Do you want true and helpful information about debunking diet myths, Intuitive Eating, food freedom and all things radical self-care?
