Emily's interest in nutrition started at age 16, in her first job working in a hospital kitchen. Spending time in the diet office, she became fascinated watching how therapeutic diets and menus were built for patients. That early exposure planted the seed for a career in nutrition.

Her training in Medical Nutrition Therapy allows her to support clients navigating a range of conditions, including gastrointestinal disorders, PMOS/PCOS, and disordered eating, alongside broader goals of disease prevention and overall wellness. Emily has a particular passion for eating disorder recovery, GI health, and working with neurodivergent clients. These are areas she's drawn to because she's seen firsthand how much relief comes when clients stop fighting their bodies and start working with them.

Emily believes that every person deserves compassionate, competent nutrition care, and she practices with a weight-inclusive, Health at Every Size approach. She enjoys helping each client find their own path to food freedom, one that fits their actual life not a set of rules imposed on it.

Emily graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from Mount Mary University in 2020 and completed her Master's Degree in Dietetics from Mount Mary University in 2023. She is a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and a Body Trust Provider, and recently completed her MBA from Aurora University. Additionally, she has just finished up her 200-hour yoga teacher certification and will begin teaching in fall of 2026. Together, these pursuits shape how she thinks about the connection between movement, mindset, and nourishment.

Outside the practice, Emily practices yoga and barre, trains for 5Ks, and loves writing, reading, traveling, and checking out new breweries. A proud Wisconsin sports fan even after relocating to Illinois, she brings the same loyalty and enthusiasm to her clients' progress that she brings to game day.
