As a gut health nutritionist, my goal is to help you find and treat the root cause of your chronic health problems and heal you from the inside out. There's a solution to your chronic health condition - and it starts in the gut. My specialty is healing chronic conditions by restoring your gut health, with practical advice that easily fits into your day-to-day life - so you can return to the vibrant, energetic person you remember being.
I believe food has the power to improve our health and heal our bodies. Designing a healthy lifestyle and approach to eating and nutrition doesn't have to be expensive or complicated. My consults are entrenched in the knowledge of how to eat and create simple, healthy meals with healthy living advice that is practical and worthwhile.

My road to holistic health and nutrition started when I was working as a public school teacher. I was working in an elementary school, and I was horrified by the food served in the cafeteria. I started reading and learning on my own about food and the food industry. I learned how food and the way we grow our food affect our health.
Having a chronic health condition is no walk in the park. The daily discomfort you feel - painful headaches, digestive issues, skin concerns, and more - is limiting your quality of life, and you're desperate to finally get to the root of the problem and heal your body. I know it feels like you've tried everything possible, and that there might be no hope for relief.
Knowing what to eat to support and help manage your chronic illness can be an incredible struggle. With so many diets, opinions, and options out there, it can be hard to understand which foods support and address your unique body, health history, and goals. With the right diet and nutrition plan, you'll equip yourself with the knowledge to eat healthier meals, no matter what the day throws at you.
As a former educator, I enjoy teaching to a group of people eager to learn! I take continual education classes to stay on top of the latest health, wellness, and nutrition aspects of health. I relish leading health and wellness workshops and discussions, and I'm happy to share my knowledge of healthy eating, healthy living, and a healthy lifestyle.
Do you have a hard time finding time in your day to cook? Have you found yourself driving through a fast-food drive-thru or ordering take-out more than twice a week? Do you notice you've been gaining weight and other health issues that are affecting you daily? You may have realized your food choices could be better.

I really enjoyed working with Emilie. I came to her hoping to solve some issues that have been going on for a long time…that my doctor would brush off. Emilie listened and really worked to solve the root of the problem. Through diet and supplements, I have seen major improvements and ultimately feeling so much better!

Emilie was great to work with! She is knowledgeable and intuitive. She’s a great listener and focused on what I expressed was most important to me. She helped me address some big issues with my gut health by using a well thought out and comprehensive plan. I loved her meal recipes! She is gentle, patient, and kind, always using a compassionate approach. She believes in long term and sustainable lifestyle changes and makes herself flexible to approach change in a way that suites her clients best. While she uses a well constructed plan, she understands that every approach will be different based

Emilie is kind, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable. Working with her over the last 6 months has been a huge blessing in my life. With her guidance, I’ve been able to fine-tune my main health goals - adding in some positive changes and removing some harmful habits as a result. She has offered many ‘real world’ techniques for avoiding the dietary and mental pitfalls and habits that have plagued me for years.
I look forward to learning and growing even more as we continue to work together.

I cannot say enough about Emilie. I am 49 and spent half of my life dancing and going to the gym. 10 years ago my life started to get complicated and ended in divorce. My solution was to eat ice cream and the result was I gained weight. I tried several eating plans, trainers and workout programs but I became more and more confused about what was truth. I also had a terrible sugar addiction and would turn to that when life got overwhelming. When I began working with Emilie I was skeptical. I wanted it to work SO much, but nothing else had worked. Maybe I was broken. I listened to her and did what

Emilie is amazing! I have seem improvements in my health since working with her that no doctor or other care provider has helped me achieve in the past 8 years with Crohn's Disease. I'm finally able to eat more foods again and the list is growing.
I'm not only impressed with, but also thankful for the amount of time and thought she has put into my care. Right from the beginning, Emilie has listened to my concerns, symptoms, history, and goals and has come up with multiple strategies to help me in my particular situation. She's very knowledgable and is also great to say sometimes that she needs

Emilie is knowledgeable and genuinely interested in what works for you while at the same time educating you about the lifestyle changes that need to be made. I've enjoyed my sessions with Emilie and a highlight for me was the in person meal planning. It felt easy to make incremental changes. Thank you!

My experience working with Emilie and Whole Essentials Nutrition has been truly amazing and life-altering. After years of battling with both auto-immune and conflicting food allergy complications that affect both upper and lower GI (EOE), she constructed an extensive plan that was manageable, sustainable and enjoyable, with an easy-to-navigate App containing access to all of my personalized data. She listens carefully, inquires and educates directly and then customizes a plan to fit your specific needs and enhance your health and quality of living. She is sincere and personable and will provide

Emilie is wonderful! She has helped me so much learning about going on an autoimmune paleo diet for my Hashimoto’s. I really liked her meal plan recipes and tips. I’m so glad that I met with Emilie to get my Hashimoto’s under control and I’m not trying to do it on my own. She is a great support!

I’ve been working with Emilie for about three months now. She was easy to contact and communicate with at the beginning and has stayed that way. She is helping me find my healthier self through the keto diet and with her methods I’ve lost 28 lbs in two months. I highly recommend her! She takes a health focused and holistic approach to “dieting” and turns it into more than just a diet... into a positive lifestyle change that lasts.
