Hi! I'm Emily

My Story

Like many people, my health challenges started when I was young. Over many years and many visits to various doctors, I was told they couldn't find anything wrong, and that there was nothing they could do to help. Sound familiar?

Instinctively, I started changing my eating patterns and reducing exposures to toxins in my home and personal care products. After moving from the Midwest to Virginia in 2009, I came across two books that changed the trajectory of my life: Barbara Kingsolver's Animal, Vegetable, Miracle and Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma. Reading those began my journey into holistic health, food as medicine, and the locavore movement. With a lot of trial and error, and over a lot of time, I was able to correct my digestive issues and the health complications that had developed because of my faulty digestion. I wanted to be able to help others who were struggling with their health, which led me back to school. Becoming a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner has brought me full circle, and I am passionate about helping others find their way back to health and vitality. I know it's possible because I have traveled that path, and continue on it to this day. I can't wait to talk to you about what's possible in your health journey!
