Nutrition Counseling

Curious about working together to gain insight into your nutrition habits and relationship with food? I combine my yoga and meditation background with scientific, evidence-based nutrition knowledge as a Registered Dietitian to bring you holistic wellness.

I have experience in a variety of areas but specialize in Intuitive Eating and healing our relationship with nourishment alongside plant-based nutrition. I believe in Health at Every Size principles and weight-inclusivity are essential components of well-rounded, trauma-informed healthcare.

I offer 1:1 counseling session based on your individual needs- simply click here to set up a free 10 minute consultation call to see what best fits your needs. Sessions may be held virtually or in person if you are local to the Portland area.

My typical clients are:

  • Current and past dieters who want to move past counting calories or following a rigid diet and step into what health and wellness truly means for them

  • Folks who want to STOP feeling out of control about food

  • Vegan/Vegetarian/Veg-curious/Folks who just want to eat more plants in their diet to reap the extensive health benefits

  • Folks with a history of disordered eating patterns or restriction who want to establish hunger, fullness, and satisfaction cues once again.

Potential benefits of counseling:

  • Improved relationship with food

  • Move away from rigidity in nutrition/movement practices and gain flexibility

  • Highly individualized nutrition advice

  • Mindful eating strategies

  • Meditation tactics

  • Intuitive Eating Principals

  • Inspiration to leave diet culture behind

Testimonials

I’ve struggled with digestive issues for years and after failed attempts with my doctor, I reached out to Emily and am so glad I did. Not only were we able to get to the root cause of my trouble, but she has helped me build a positive relationship with food that had been previously been lacking. Very happy with our sessions and the positive impact they’ve had!

I’ve long known that I wanted a better relationship with food and had considered using a dietitian for help. However, I figured a regular dietitian would just reiterate what I already knew about nutrition, calories, exercise, etc. I’d also considered using a therapist, but wasn’t sure if they could really give me the help I needed since this wasn’t an actual diagnosis/disorder. After reading about Emily’s approach—intuitive eating—I had a good feeling and decided to try it out. I really appreciate her holistic approach and the aha moments I’ve had these last several months. My relationship with food is a journey, but that’s to be expected. (You don’t undo years of learned behaviors in a few months!) Still, I have made progress, and it feels great. That progress has even spilled over into other aspects of my life, for better. Now if only I could get my cat to learn how to intuitively eat...
