Hi, I’m Emily. I’m a Holistic Nutritionist, Somatic Practitioner, Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, and Certified Eating Disorder Recovery Coach. My journey with health began early, after frequent ear infections and rounds of antibiotics left me with lasting digestive issues. As I grew older, I became caught in the grip of body image struggles and disordered eating, cycling through diet after diet in search of relief. This created a painful cycle of fear around food, deep anxiety, and relentless stomach pain, even leading to an ER visit.

Hormonal birth control added further complications, causing painful acne and leaving me without a period for two years after stopping it. I also battled bulimia and binge eating, which only amplified my sense of being trapped in a body that felt out of control. The conventional advice I received—like avoiding lactose or trying restrictive diets—never touched the root of my suffering.

Determined to break free, I sought out holistic education at the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition, where I discovered the deep connection between nourishment, lifestyle, and well-being. Wanting to dive deeper into healing, I completed advanced training in Disordered Eating Recovery and Somatic Healing. These tools allowed me to explore how reconnecting with the body could support true, lasting recovery, not just for symptoms but for the whole person.

Frustrated by conventional healthcare's limitations, I became certified as a Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, which allows me to offer lab testing to uncover hidden imbalances. This work provides clarity for those who’ve been dismissed or stuck in endless confusion about their symptoms.

What makes my approach unique is my lived experience. I know what it’s like to feel at war with your body, to feel disconnected and uncomfortable in your skin. But I’ve also learned how to come home to myself through holistic care, and now I’m here to guide you in doing the same. Together, we’ll create a compassionate, nourishing relationship with your body and food, grounded in trust and healing from the inside out.
