Have you ever thought, "I can't eat this it will make me gain weight." or "I ate too much, so now I need to workout to burn it off." Have you ever wondered if there is a better way to enjoy food without the feelings of guilt associated with your choices?

Looking for relief from chronic health conditions and a deeper level of nutritional support? Struggling to get answers? My focus is to identify and address the root cause of symptoms in order to help you achieve optimal health.

Smart healthcare and results are my passion! Using a body constitution approach, I tailor treatments for nerve and joint pain, gastrointestinal and auto-immune disorders. Knowing your particular body constitution is vital since your treatment could be completely different from someone else even if you have the exact same symptoms and diagnosis. What you eat is also very important so you know how to maintain the treatments you receive from me. As part of my care, every patient receives comprehensive dietary and lifestyle activities counseling.

If you are struggling to develop a peaceful relationship with food, know that you are not alone. Confusing messages telling us how to eat, what to eat, and when to eat can make us wonder why eating has gotten so complicated. The short answer: it doesn't have to be. Whether you have been diagnosed with an eating disorder, suffer from disordered eating, or just want to know how to nourish your body without going on another diet, I can help.

I offer a weight neutral, client-centered, non-judgmental, trauma informed and somatically oriented approach to nutrition counseling where we work together to explore and heal your relationship with food and body image. I specialize in working with folks who have eating disorders, disordered eating, diabetes, PCOS and athletes. These experiences help inform my nutrition practice and I’m excited to continue to learn from the clients I have the privilege of working with now.

Emily practices out of Health Loft and specializes in working with Eating Disorders, Disordered Eating, Plant Based Diets, Digestive Issues, Body Image Concerns and other conditions.

Emily has spent the majority of her career in higher levels of care for eating disorder treatment (RES, PHP, IOP) treating various eating disorders diagnoses.

As a nurse massage therapist and transformative nurse coach, I offer a unique blend of traditional medical training along with a variety of complementary healing modalities to better serve my clients.

Is this you? You were diagnosed with PCOS and told to “just lose weight and come back when you want to get pregnant” but you have symptoms that you want addressed now... like elevated blood sugar, fatigue, and irregular periods. You've tried so many diets but dieting only leads you to binge because you have constant hunger and sugar cravings. You love the idea of intuitive eating and letting go of dieting but you're not sure what that looks like when you're trying to manage PCOS.

Do you find yourself frustrated with chronic dieting? Concerned that you may be sliding into disordered eating habits or perhaps looking for added support in your eating disorder journey? I am the owner and registered dietitian of The Intuitive Dietitian where we take a holistic approach to nutrition therapy.

If you haven’t been successful in resolving your internal condition with conventional or alternative medicine and searching for a more advanced treatment, this is the right place. I specialize in advanced “natural” alternative treatment for internal chronic conditions, such as autoimmune disorders, inflammations, allergies, immune issues, hormonal balance, digestive, respiratory, and gynecological conditions. My advanced Japanese style acupuncture not only alleviates symptoms, but also strengthens vital organs, builds immune system, and restores balance. Each treatment is profound, activating the body to heal within.

Are you looking to manage your weight or a health condition such as diabetes, heart disease, a GI disorder, or an autoimmune disease/inflammatory condition? Trying to determine how to nourish yourself while pregnant or navigating a women's health concern such as PCOS or menopause? Or perhaps looking for some guidance in a world filled with conflicting nutrition information?

At least 80% of people who seek long-term weight loss will regain that weight. And so begins the cycle that many find themselves in - up and down, up and down. If you feel the frustration of that rollercoaster and are ready to discover your 'why' and begin the path to sustainable weight loss, then I am ready to partner with you in achieving your goals.

Welcome! I'm so excited that you have landed here on your journey to better health. Our bodies are such amazing machines, but sometimes they need some assistance to achieve balance and optimal health. Acupuncture so beautifully helps to fill the gap between where you currently are and the best "you" you can be. Join me today and allow me to help you and your body move from a place of stress, pain and agitation to a place of peace, health and well being.

I can help you by doing "medical detective" work. This means addressing the most fundamental causes of disease, not just treating symptoms. Many of my patients have seen multiple specialists with no improvement, and are tired of drugs and their side effects. If you are ready for a new, natural, comprehensive approach to your health, let's embark on the journey together. Let's get to the bottom of what's going on, and work together to improve not only how you look & feel now, but prevent problems in the future.
