I help clients break free from diet culture and develop a healthy relationship with food while incorporating gentle nutrition.

I’m an anti-diet, weight-inclusive dietitian and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. I work with clients who are struggling with an eating disorder or disordered eating patterns to heal their relationship with food. I also work with clients who want to stop chronic dieting and start building a positive relationship with food through intuitive eating.

Hi, I’m Emily.

I am a registered dietitian (RD) and certified diabetes educator (CDE). I attended Fresno State in California’s Central Valley where I double majored in nutrition and sociology. I then completed my dietetic internship at Fresno State where I fulfilled over 1200 supervised practice hours in the areas of clinical nutrition, community nutrition, and food service. After my internship I passed the exam to become a registered dietitian, and have been practicing as a dietitian for over six years. During that time I went back to school and obtained a master’s of science in dietetics from Kansas State University, and became a certified diabetes educator.

I have over seven years experience in outpatient nutrition counseling working with thousands of clients on a variety of nutrition issues, specifically diabetes, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia. Over the years I have witnessed countless clients who were fixated on counting calories, meal planning, and chronic dieting all in attempts for weight loss. I discovered the principles of intuitive eating and truly believe they are the foundation to developing and maintaining a healthy relationship with food, and ultimately living a happier, healthier life. I am a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and want to introduce others to what I have learned, and spread the message of health at every size and intuitive eating.

My mission is to support clients as they break free from diet culture and disordered eating patterns to develop a healthy, positive relationship with food through virtual nutrition counseling and online nutrition programs.

Thank you for stopping by!
