Similar to others that work in this field, it was my own experience of healing from an eating disorder that sparked a desire to help others do the same. After encountering several health professionals that overlooked or exacerbated my eating disorder, my recovery journey started when I first met with my eating disorders dietitian. As someone who felt so afraid of food and at war with my body, it was life-changing to work with someone who understood these struggles, and had the expertise to teach me how to eat again. This experience inspired me to become a dietitian and pursue advanced training in eating disorders.
To watch the person across from me come alive when the fog of the eating disorder is lifted. It doesn’t get much better than that.

infinite power
Emily first became interested in the field of Nutrition and Dietetics when she had a loved one work with a dietitian in their own eating disorder recovery. Seeing the role of a dietitian impact her loved one’s healing process is what ultimately pushed Emily to study Nutrition and Dietetics.
Emily’s favorite part of her job is seeing her clients light up about something they are passionate about, and celebrating their wins with them.
