About

Hi, my name is Emily. I am a Nutrition Therapy Practitioner and a certified Nutritional Health Coach.

I have a double Bachelor’s degree in Biology and Psychology from the University of Colorado in Boulder, am a Certified Holistic Nutritionist from Pacific Rim in British Columbia, a Certified Nutrition Therapy Practitioner and Master Nutrition Therapist from the Nutrition Therapy Institute of Denver, and certified Nutritional Health Coach through Natural Grocers by Vitamin Cottage. I am currently working towards a Professional Science Master's in Applied Nutrition and Dietetics from the University of Arizona.

In a nutshell, I am a former professional dancer and an avid outdoor athlete who truly understands the interconnectedness that wholesome fuel and a balanced lifestyle plays on whole-body wellness: mind, body, and emotional wellbeing.

When I am not fully immersed in all things food and nutrition, I am usually outside backcountry skiing, mountain biking, climbing, river surfing, hiking with my dogs, or rowing my husband on the Colorado River as he fly fishes. In my spare time, I also choreograph the spring musical at Glenwood High School.

Lastly, my most recent--and proudest achievement--is becoming a mother to my son, in July 2022.
