Meet Emily.

Emily is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Nutrition from Boston University and clinical training from Boston Medical Center. Over the past four years at Massachusetts General Hospital, she has supported patients with complex medical and mental health conditions, including active duty service members, Special Operations Forces, veterans, and their families. Her work with individuals living in chronic states of stress and hypervigilance has shaped her deep understanding of the gut-brain connection and how trauma and anxiety influence eating behaviors and digestion.

Trained in the FLORA Method, Emily specializes in acid reflux, IBS, SIBO, gastritis, gastroparesis, and other digestive health concerns, using an integrative, evidence-based approach that emphasizes behavior change and nervous system regulation. Her philosophy blends clinical expertise with compassion, helping clients rebuild trust in their bodies and develop a sustainable relationship with food.

Grounded in both science and lived experience, Emily believes food is more than fuel—it’s a pathway to safety, self-trust, and balance. Her mission is to help clients feel confident, nourished, and grounded, using realistic and personalized strategies that support long-term healing.

What Emily’s Clients Say

"Working with Emily has completely changed the way I view food and my body. As a
veteran, I’ve lived in a constant state of stress for years, and my digestion and appetite
were a mess because of it. Emily immediately understood where I was coming from —
she didn’t just throw a meal plan at me. She helped me see how my nervous system,
gut, and emotions were all connected. Her calm, grounded energy made it easy to trust
the process, and for the first time in a long time, I feel in control of my health. My reflux and bloating have improved dramatically, and I actually enjoy eating again."

- Adrienne

"Emily has a gift for making nutrition feel safe again. I came to her terrified of food,
hyper-focused on ingredients and ‘clean eating.’ She met me exactly where I was, never
judging—just gently guiding. Through her support, I learned to trust my body’s signals
and to eat without fear. I’ve rebuilt my relationship with food, improved my digestion, and found a balance I never thought possible. I honestly wish I had found her years
ago."

- R.J.

"I had been to multiple doctors and tried every elimination diet for my reflux and IBS, but nothing helped long term. Emily’s approach was completely different—she helped me identify the root causes rather than just restricting foods. We worked on meal timing, stress regulation, and gentle gut-healing nutrition. Her explanations made everything make sense, and within a few months, my symptoms improved more than they had in years. She truly sees the whole person, not just the diagnosis"

- Michael

When I got out of the service, my structure and discipline went out the window, and my eating habits followed. I didn’t even realize how much stress and anxiety were running the show. Emily helped me find balance again—she’s the first person who explained how the nervous system and digestion are connected in a way that made sense. Her approach felt tailored to me, not cookie-cutter. My blood pressure has gone down, my stomach issues are under control, and I finally feel steady. She’s not just knowledgeable—she genuinely understands what veterans go through when it comes to rebuilding their health and routines."

-Daniel, Retired Army Green Beret
"I’ve worked with performance dietitians before, but Emily brings something different to the table—she understands the mental side of things. Years of high-tempo ops left me in constant fight-or-flight, and my digestion was wrecked. I’m eating better now, recovering faster, and finally recognizing the importance of sleeping through the night. She’s the real deal!"

-J.D
"After years of battling severe reflux and losing a significant amount of weight, I had reached a point where I felt completely defeated. Every appointment with other providers left me feeling dismissed and hopeless—like no one was truly listening. Then I found Emily. From the very first session, she saw me as a whole person, not just a list of symptoms. She took the time to understand not only my digestion, but my stress, my fears, MY FAMILY, and the toll this journey had taken on me. Emily is the one I trust most on my care team—if she says it, I believe her. Her compassion, knowledge, and genuine care have been life-changing. I truly don’t know where I’d be without her."

-Peter
"I was tired of quick fixes and diet plans that didn’t last. Emily helped me shift from anall-or-nothing mindset to one of consistency and self-trust. Her guidance taught me how to make food choices that actually fit my lifestyle and still support my digestive health.”
