About Emily

I'm Emily- dark chocolate, wine, and animal lover. You can find me outdoors taking long walks, kayaking or laying in the sun captivated by a good book. When I'm not in nature I'll be in the kitchen cooking up new recipes, watching my favorite classic movies that I've already seen hundreds of times (Sophia Loren’s #1 fan) and attending as many concerts as possible.

I love to travel just as much as I love connecting to my roots and spending time with my family. My people mean everything to me and I wouldn't be who I am today without them or without the saving grace and loving kindness of God.

I have always found my purpose through serving and educating others. I'm grateful to not only be living my purpose through nutrition coaching, but also in my role as a Registered Behavior Technician at a children's autism center. I have dedicated the past 8 years to working with children - their influence on my life has been truly humbling, it has empowered me to reciprocate that enrichment and impact others.

i have been where you are...

My journey to becoming a nutrition coach began when I saw the healing impact that an integrative approach to health had on my own life and body. I suffered from digestive problems and hormonal imbalances for years which negatively impacted several other areas of my health, including my mental health. I embarked on a journey to identify the underlying causes of my symptoms, which led me to consult a holistic physician. This decision was life-changing. Through the collaborative effort and guidance from a team of health professionals, and by implementing sustainable and long lasting changes to my nutrition and lifestyle, I was able to correct my imbalances, heal my body and transform my quality of life.

my desire to gain more knowledge was sparked...

I completed my education at The Institute of Integrative Nutrition, which provided me with comprehensive training in holistic health and health coaching. Throughout the program, I gained knowledge in innovative coaching techniques, the mind-body connection, and over 100 dietary theories. This education has equipped me with advanced and up-to-date knowledge in holistic nutrition, health coaching, and disease prevention.
