Testimonials from
“ I started working with Emily in November 2021. I was at a point in time when I was ordering out 10-12 meals a week, my cholesterol was high, and any time I made an effort to eat a bag of spinach, a good portion of it rotted in the fridge. Emily does an amazing job at meeting you where you're at and helps you set small, achievable goals that will eventually turn into better, sustainable habits. I also admire that Emily doesn't set any hard restrictions on certain foods nor does she label anything as "good" or "bad". With her guidance I dropped my weight from 228-232 to 216-218 over the course of 6 months. In that time I've saved a boatload of money by cooking more, I've added way more fruits and veggies to my meals, and my bloodwork came back pristine. I highly recommend Emily to anyone who is looking to build sustainable eating habits that can lead to a healthier life. ”

“Emily really provides a unique approach to the powerlifting and nutrition world. Her “what can I add rather than take away” approach helped me to keep a healthy relationship with food and fuel my gym performance. She diligently used nutrition to aid with separate health issues of mine, which left me feeling so much better in and out of the gym. Not to mention she made eating fun when we brainstormed meal ideas! You can tell she’s super passionate about what she does. Highly highly recommend.”

“I've struggled with IBS and lactose intolerance for years. When I decided to get serious with my nutrition, Emily was able to help me find GOOD alternatives and substitutes to some of my favorite foods. It's only been a couple of months but I've already achieved less bloating, less cramping and increased protein intake!”
— Dorothy, Powerlifter
“I can not say enough times how amazing Emily is. I had a very tricky relationship with food along with IBS issues that I was struggling to navigate. Having a background in Exercise Science I was growing more and more frustrated that I couldn’t figure it out. Thankfully the powerlifting world gave me Emily. Words can not describe how understanding, patient and grounding she is in her practice. She teaches you how to be successful on your own rather than just telling you what to do. I had so much pain from previous injuries caused by crazy inflammation from my diet that I never would have made the correlation without her guidance and can now say I have minimal to no pain."

“Emily has been my daughter’s dietitian for a year now. At first, my daughter was a little nervous and afraid Emily would tell her all the “bad” foods she was eating and what not to eat anymore… so I sat in on the sessions with her. We were both mind blown when Emily not once told my daughter what foods to not eat. She has taught my daughter (and me!) that there are no BAD foods, it’s what can we ADD to our foods to have a more balanced and nutritional (and colorful!) meal/snack. Emily listens carefully to all of your thoughts and considers them important material to work with no matter how “ simple” we may consider them. She empowers you to make your own small nutritional goals ( even exercise goals for my daughter) each week. Emily is truly a diamond in the rough- she got my extremely picky daughter to try foods that I could NEVER get her to even get onto her food plates in 14 years. My daughter now on her own sets her own food/ exercise goals and she crushes them! I will forever be grateful to Emily!

I began working with Emily with the goal of optimizing sports performance for powerlifting meet prep, learning about meet day nutrition, and recompositioning during the offseason. Within those months, I learned how to get proper nutrients in my diet while choosing foods that made me feel like I was eating properly, and without sacrificing my food freedom. Emily’s approach to nutrition coaching focuses on the client’s mental wellbeing surrounding diet choices, and that is what makes her nutrition coaching great and sustainable for anyone looking to improve their nutrition.

“I am so so happy to have found Emily as my dietitian! She is extremely companionate and has a strong foundation of nutrition based science! I wanted to find a dietitian who could guide me during my first powerlifting competition and she was my perfect match! Not only did she give a one on one personalized nutrition plan, but she also helped me develop a healthier relationship with food that positively impacted my mental health. I really appreciate Emily for helping me make sustainable changes to my lifestyle!”
