“The body speaks clearly to those who know how to listen.”
-Pat Ogden
What is embodiment?
In a culture that promotes distraction and disconnection from our bodies, it's easy to lose touch with our internal cues—like hunger, fullness, and satisfaction. We absorb rigid food rules and moral judgments about eating, which can lead to guilt and shame when we inevitably “break” them. This disconnection limits both our food choices and our ability to trust ourselves.
If this feels familiar, embodiment practices and interoceptive awareness—often explored in nutrition therapy with a registered dietitan—can help you rebuild trust and tune back in to your body's wisdom.
A practice of embodiment can take us down a new path that reframes how we view our bodies. It leads to the possibility of seeing our body as a home and a resource, rather than an object that requires fixing or ignoring. It allows us to tune in and respond to our internal needs. Through this practice, the potential for healing our relationship with food, movement, and our body becomes more clear.
We focus on
Eating disorder care & disordered eating
Eating disorders have rigid diagnostic criteria that often end up excluding individuals who need support. Whether or not you’ve been diagnosed with an eating disorder, as a registered dietitian, Emma can help in working through the thoughts and behaviors of this mental health illness that can impact our physical and emotional health.
Chronic Dieting
If you feel stuck in a cycle of yo-yo dieting and aren’t sure how to stop, nutrition therapy can be a powerful starting point. This work offers a supportive space to explore your relationship with food without the pressure of weight loss or eating “perfectly.” Through an intuitive eating and weight-inclusive lens, we’ll gently unpack the beliefs that keep you stuck and guide you toward lasting freedom from chronic dieting and disordered eating patterns.
Body Image Healing
Healing your relationship with your body begins with increasing awareness of how you think, feel, and behave toward it. Through body image work in nutrition therapy, you can build the skills to challenge harmful societal messages and cultivate greater body acceptance. Research shows that body image exploration not only supports eating disorder prevention, but also improves emotional well-being and self-compassion. This work can be a vital step toward feeling more at home in your body—just as it is.
Digestive Health
Gut health challenges are common in eating disorder recovery, often showing up as bloating, constipation, diarrhea, or acid reflux. These symptoms can be distressing—and are often misunderstood or overlooked. Emma provides nutrition therapy for disordered eating and digestive health, helping clients explore the connection between eating patterns and gastrointestinal symptoms. With a compassionate, evidence-based approach, she supports clients in identifying gentle nutrition strategies to improve gut health and overall well-being.
