A Unique Partnership That Makes All the Difference
Hello! I’m Emily, and I’m absolutely passionate about taking a holistic personalized approach to nutrition that focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying root causes of health issues rather than just treating symptoms. For nearly 15 years, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside clients as a registered dietitian, and I truly love what I do. My journey has led me to develop a unique combination of expertise—a master’s degree in human nutrition and functional medicine paired with a professional chef certification—that allows me to offer something truly special.
What excites me most about my work is using advanced functional medicine training to go far beyond traditional nutrition counseling. Together, we’ll uncover the underlying factors that may be quietly sabotaging your health goals, while ensuring that healthy eating never means sacrificing the flavors you love. My culinary background means I’m always ready to help you create delicious, nourishing meals that make you feel amazing.
The Functional Nutrition Advantage: Getting to the Heart of the Matter
What exactly is functional nutrition and functional medicine? It’s a science-based, deeply personal approach that places you at the absolute center of your care. When weight loss feels impossible or frustrating symptoms persist despite your best efforts, I’m here to dig deeper and find the real answers to lead you to reaching your health goals once and for all. Learn more about functional medicine.
Using my functional nutrition expertise, we’ll explore the interconnected systems that influence your metabolism and overall wellness—from thyroid function and hormone balance to gut health, adrenal function, and inflammation patterns. By combining the latest research with your unique health history and life circumstances, I create thoroughly individualized plans designed specifically for your goals and your life. We will apply these results into your customized nutrition plan ensuring to lead you to your ultimate success.
When appropriate, I may recommend advanced functional testing to give us the clearest picture of what’s happening in your body. Let’s get to the root of the matter. This might include comprehensive hormone testing such as the DUTCH test, gut health assessments like the Genova stool test, advanced lipid profiles with Boston Heart Lab, or food sensitivity testing.

Beyond the Office
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me practicing yoga, exploring nature with my wonderfully curious toddler, and experimenting with new recipes in our family kitchen. Like you, I know firsthand how challenging it can be to balance work, family, and making most of our food from scratch—it’s time-consuming but incredibly rewarding.
