Emily is the nutrition guide and health advocate that every woman needs. Countless readers have benefited from her "Eating Well" chapter in Our Bodies, Ourselves, and more do every day. Her insight, knowledge and ability to translate key issues in nutrition for regular people made her the obvious choice to author this chapter. Emily helps women cut through the mixed messages and get the help they need.

— Judy Norsigian, Executive Director, Our Bodies, Ourselves

— Diane Holzer, President, Midwives Alliance of North America


I would absolutely recommend Emily to anyone looking to improve their health as well as their cooking skills.

— Kathy Callaway


Emily has a talent for explaining complex information in terms anyone can understand. I've especially benefited from her thorough research for seriously ill members of our family.

— Paula Doress-Worters, co-author, Ourselves, Growing Older; Ourselves and our Children; Our Bodies, Ourselves


I highly recommend Emily’s services. In addition to being very knowledgeable and inspired about her work, Emily created a safe, empowering space for me to look at my eating patterns (a charged topic) and create new fertility- and energy-enhancing choices. Her suggestions were wholesome, realistic, compassionate, and effective. I especially appreciated her tips on how to make vegetables fun and tasty for toddlers!

Emily really helped me sort out the mixed messages we get about nutrition and diet. After she listened to my concerns, we created together a whole foods-based approach that was responsive to my needs and preferences and grounded in an understanding of nutrient/body chemistry. As I implemented her suggestions I was amazed at what a difference it made. My blood sugar levels and moods evened out, my chronic acne all but disappeared, and my frequent colds dramatically decreased in number. Emily helped me realize that our bodies’ systems work together in complicated ways, and she supported me in making holistic changes that have really improved my quality of life.
