I'm here to help you move forward into a place of peace with your relationship with food and you're body. If you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or asked to follow a rigid diet before — you’re not alone.

Hi! I'm Chelsea. If you've landed here, there's a good chance that food has felt more stressful than peaceful at some point and I want you to know that makes a lot of sense. Navigating food, health, and body in today's world can feel like rocky terrain. Maybe eating has just felt harder than it should, tangled up in noise from the outside world and a whole lot of conflicting information about what you're supposed to do. Whether you’re navigating disordered eating, digestive concerns like IBS, hormonal conditions such as PCOS or endometriosis, a complicated relationship with your body (or some combination of the above), you’re in the right place.

Supporting people on their journey of changing their relationship with food and their body is my favorite part of nutrition counseling. I believe that you are the expert of your body, so I enjoy working together in a collaborative partnership to create goals and plans of care that are in alignment with your values and lifestyle. Nutrition can feel confusing. Many of us are taught messages about food, weight, health, and our bodies as far back as we can remember, and all of these "rules" can feel overwhelming. I'll help you sort through the noise to find ways to nourish your body in a way that makes sense for you and your goals. Health and nourishment looks different for everyone, so nutrition care should be individualized. My hope is that our work empowers you to feel confident in your food choices, helps you feel more attuned to your body's needs, and provides you with practical strategies that are supportive, realistic, and flexible. As someone who lives in a larger body and has recovered from a long history of disordered eating, I understand that health and nutrition status cannot be judged based on appearance, weight, or BMI, and that sometimes our healthiest weight is not what we've been led to believe it is. Therefore, my nutrition philosophy is weight neutral and fat positive. I practice from a weight inclusive perspective that centers around lived experiences, and am fully aligned with HAES. I'd love to help you break up with the rigidity of dieting, to find freedom and flexibility with eating, and to reclaim headspace back from intrusive thoughts about food and body. Whether you are wanting to explore stepping away from dieting, wanting more joy in your relationship with food and body, and/or you need help managing a medical diagnosis, I would be honored to support you. I strive for you to be able to trust yourself to keep fun foods in your house, while teaching you new ways to help keep your energy stable and fuel your awesome life!

Food can most definitely be fun, but for some it can also be scary, overwhelming, infuriating, comforting, energizing and enjoyable, all at the same time. I am here to help support you in your journey to finding freedom with food and making peace with your body. You are in the driver's seat, but I am here to help steer you along the way in accomplishing your goals. I want to help you learn to embrace the signals that your body sends you, rather than to fear them. And I want to help provide gentle nutrition reminders so that you can fuel your body for all the things you want to accomplish!

You deserve care that sees your whole story, not just a number on a scale. Maybe you've struggled to find a provider who takes you seriously, or you've internalized stigmatizing messages about your body and health. You may be carrying judgments around food and movement that no longer serve you, and you're ready to release them. Weight-inclusive care means you're met exactly where you are — supported in reframing self-talk, healing your relationship with food and movement, and navigating a healthcare system that hasn't always felt safe. You deserve a provider who honors your body's story and helps you build health from a place of compassion, not shame.

Emily believes food to be the ultimate form of connection and strives to help her clients find deeper satisfaction, joy, and peace in their relationship with nourishment. She practices from the HAES (Health at Every Size) framework to deliver weight-neutral care. Her philosophy is that a positive relationship to food is possible and deserved for truly everyone. Emily loves to develop relationships with her patients and cheer them on every step of their journey. She helps her patients leave sessions feeling empowered and armed with the knowledge of how to compassionately care for their own bodies. Emily strives to make information about health less overwhelming and turn it into fun!
