I am a non-diet, weight-inclusive dietitian who wants to empower all humans to live their ideal lives by making food FUN & NOURISHING for their overall life and I do this through compassionate and inclusive nutrition practices!
Working with me you will…
- Have a SAFE/NON-JUDGEMENTAL space to ask questions and be vulnerable
- Build CONFIDENCE in yourself & your decisions around food & body

- MAKE FOOD FUN again
Working with a non-diet dietitian is the best way to foster body acceptance and create food freedom!
About my Dietitian Services:
“I believe in taking the fear and power out of food and making it an enjoyable and memorable part of life.”
I have a passion for helping people build healthier relationships with food and their bodies through compassionate and inclusive nutrition practices. I want to create a safe space for those who are struggling with unhealthy relationships with food & body where they can feel heard, supported, and encouraged without feeling shamed or judged.
I’m here to help you begin a journey of transition from an unhealthy fear of food and its power over you, to one that recognizes food as an enjoyable, fun, and memorable part of life!
Who Is This For?
If you need support with…
- Eating disorders/ disordered eating
- Intuitive eating (getting you back to this innate way of eating)
- Body Image issues/body dysmorphia
- Anxiety/depression around food (Mental health)
- Perinatal nutrition (pregnancy/postpartum)
- General nutrition concerns
Is food CONTROLLING your LIFE?
Are food and body thoughts taking up too much brain space? Are these thoughts causing you to miss out on family gatherings or friend events? Are you confused about all the conflicting nutrition information on social media or even in the doctor’s office? Do you experience shame, guilt, or fear after eating certain foods?
Imagine waking up to the smell of warm blueberry pancakes drizzled in sweet maple syrup with a side of thick-cut bacon cooked by a loved one to surprise you on the weekend. You walk out to the kitchen with a smile on your face and memories of childhood in your mind.
You joyfully take a bite and the blast of flavors coat your tongue. You then realize you’re not too hungry so you enjoy a few bites and decide you can come back to it later if you want.
You were present in the moment, thankful for the kind gesture, and listened to what your body needed.
YOU CAN get to this point and I CAN help you get there!

What makes Emily different?
My passion to help others develop healthier relationships with food and their bodies arose out of my own struggles. When I was in 8th grade, I developed an eating disorder, was hospitalized, and almost died. Through counseling and treatment, I was able to heal my relationship with food, and I realized how strong the connection was between food and mental health. My experience inspired my passion for helping others who were going through the same struggles.
I knew if I wanted to help others, I had to learn as much as I could about nutrition and health, so became my journey to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. I hold a Bachelor of Science and a Master’s degree in Clinical Dietetics, and I have helped over 100 people heal and improve their relationships with food & bodies in a safe, supportive environment. Through my knowledge and personal experiences, I hope to help as many people as possible develop a relationship with food that is healthy, enjoyable, and fun!
If you are struggling with your relationship with food, or just feel that you want to improve your overall health and wellness through a better understanding of your specific nutrition needs, I would love to take that journey with you. When we work together, there is no judgment, no guilt, no shame, just an encouraging, supportive environment that allows you to heal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take insurance?
Unfortunatly, not at this time.
Can you provide superbills for Insurance reimbursement?
Yes I do, but you will need a “Diagnosis code” from your doctor
- Diagnosis codes describe an individual’s medical condition and are required on claims submitted by healthcare professionals to third-party payers. (eatrightpro.com)
How long are sessions?
I have a therapists, do I also need an Dietitian?
Treating a person who has developed an eating disorder can be a complex process that requires the dedicated service of a multidisciplinary team of professionals. Dietitians are among the many experts who can play a vital role in helping people establish a solid foundation for long-term eating disorder recovery.
Restoring nutritional status helps to optimize cognitive and emotional functioning so the patient can participate and benefit from the program of recovery. A healthful diet is also a cornerstone of relapse prevention.
