Testimonials

“I am so blessed to have her in my life.”

"Laura has guided me out of the deepest hole I have ever been in in my life. She provides me with not only nutritional assistance, but also with ways on how to combat my negative eating disorder thoughts. I can proudly say I am well on my way back to intuitive eating thanks to Laura. She is a phenomenal athlete, dietitian, and person. I am so blessed to have her in my life. The assistance she has provided me is unimaginable. Thank you so much Laura!"  

"Thank you, Laura, for your personal touch and approachable manner."

"Laura has been an anchor in my daughter’s life for a few years now, helping re-educate her on nutrition, the importance of fueling the body, and how best to accomplish that.  Laura's steady guidance was adjusted along the way to give my daughter attainable goals on her path to recovery.  Her ability to coach patients along the path to making healthier food choices made all the difference in my daughter’s recovery."

"How she talked about food really changed my own relationship to it. "

"Without Laura my recovery would be very different. My work with her enabled me to truly see how all foods fit into a balanced diet, and how exercise was supposed to be about fun movement that felt good to me rather than a tool for my illness. How she talked about food really changed my own relationship to it. Her sense of humor and totally non-judgmental stance to my recovery and what I was working on was so helpful. I looked forward to all our appointments and she gave me her full attention and addressed every issue that felt relevant. I would definitely recommend her to any of my athlete friends, friends in recovery- really anyone who wants to improve their relationship with food. Can't say enough about how dedicated, knowledgeable, and attentive she is."

“She is extremely dedicated to all her clients, and genuinely helps in any and every way possible."

"I am not sure I would be where I am today if it were not for Laura. She is extremely dedicated to all her clients, and genuinely helps in any and every way possible-- appointments in person, over Skype, or even through a new mobile app. I can honestly say from my own personal experience that Laura has changed my relationship with food, and I do not know what I would do without her support, help, and guidance. Thank you, Laura!"

"She has totally turned my world around!"

I have battled with and eating disorder for over 30 years. When I started doing triathlons I went to Laura for help with fueling for my sport. At the time my eating disorder wasn’t my concern. I was very ridged in my eating but was eating so I thought I was fine. But over the last two years working closely with Laura she has totally turned my world around! Her knowledge and insight has help me believe it is safe and appropriate to eat all foods.  The variety in what I now eat has changed enormously thanks to Laura.   I no longer get anxiety and cancel going out with friends because I don’t have control on what I am eating.  I now look forward to going out and trying new foods and enjoy the company around me. I cannot thank Laura (and my therapist they were a great team) enough for helping me discover a life without an eating disorder but I think I am almost to the point where I can say my eating disorder is behind me and I am a strong athlete!!  Laura is truly amazing at her job!

"I'm so grateful to have had Laura on my team as I work to become to the strongest, happiest, healthiest version of myself."

When I first met with Laura over a year ago, I remember her saying that "I want you be able to see something that looks good and be comfortable eating it" and that over time, the hope being that I wouldn't need to see her every week. I'm very happy to recognize that I am now in that place. It is only in hindsight that I can see how restrictive, obsessive, guilt ridden and unhappy I was then. With Laura's guidance I have debunked many of the misinformed thoughts and rules that I had about food. I have learned a truly balanced and healthy approach to meals, snacks and exercise and have slowly made peace with carbs and desserts and other former "challenge foods". My weight is back up to where it naturally should be, my metabolism is kicking strong and I regained my menstrual cycle after years of secondary amenorrhea. Laura met me where I was and supported me with kindness and friendship every step of this difficult journey, but also challenged and pushed me as needed. She has a fierce passion for proper fueling and having her clients feel strong and healthy shines. I'm so grateful to have had Laura on my team as I work to become to the strongest, happiest, healthiest version of myself. 

“I feel extremely grateful to Emilie for helping me discover a life full of happiness, inner peace, and freedom.”

I am so thankful to Emilie for teaching me that I am capable of and I deserve to lead a life worth living. After months of suffering, she kindly began to lead me on my recovery journey and always holds my best interests at heart. Her empathy during my toughest moments convinced me that I am worthy of self compassion and that I have a network of support to reach out to in case of trouble. She continues to present multiple ways for me to break down my rigid food and exercise rules and I am proud to say that I have made incredible progress since we began meeting. I can enjoy the activities and milestones I used to dread and I am in touch with my true personality. I feel extremely grateful to Emilie for helping me discover a life full of happiness, inner peace, and freedom.

“I am so thankful to have had an opportunity to work with Emilie and my only regret not having done so sooner.”

I am forever thankful for the unbelievable professionalism and empathy delivered by Emilie as I completely changed my relationship with food. As an athlete, I was frequently taught that stopping for fuel was not worth sacrificing time and results. Emilie taught me the importance of fueling my body, recovery and helped to change my relationship with food in my day to day life. I used to believe that there was no way to lose weight without feeling impossibly hungry all the time.  I also believed that I had to fit in a box, constantly compared my body and results to other athletes and friends, and was incredibly hard on myself for breaking any of my restrictive food “rules”. Emilie helped me break down all of the walls I had created for myself and to build healthier habits. As I slowly started reintroducing “off limits” foods to my diet I immediately saw improvements in my mood & performance. I also appreciated that science was at the core of all of our conversations. I was able to root decisions based in facts and alleviate the constant pressure I put on myself surrounding numbers and time frames. All of this was balanced in human conversation injected with plenty of laughs and never an ounce of judgement. I am so thankful to have had an opportunity to work with Emilie and my only regret not having done so sooner. 

“Emilie helped ease a lot of these anxieties and taught me ways to create healthy food plates that include all the things I love to eat!” 

I have been an athlete my entire life, and it wasn't until working with Emilie that I fully understood the importance of having a positive relationship with diet and nutrition.  Before working with Emilie, I constantly compared myself (and my food-plate) to my teammates and friends.  My energy and performance during practices and games were inconsistent and I could never pinpoint why.  I felt stuck and unhappy with my body composition and thought the only way to slim down was by cutting out certain foods or eating less on a daily basis.  Emilie helped ease a lot of these anxieties and taught me ways to create healthy food plates that include all the things I love to eat!  My performance has improved tremendously and I feel way more confident in the decisions I make on a daily basis.  Thank you, Emilie, for all your patience and dedication to my journey during our time working together!

“Emilie was the patient, reassuring, and trusted professional I needed to break free from the same patterns and fears that kept me trapped for so long.”

In the middle of 2019, I was referred to Emilie by mere chance. The only problem was that I lived in California and she was in Boston. Nonetheless, I began working with her virtually and I am forever grateful that I did. When I started with Emilie, I was still stuck in the same cyclical patterns of restricting and binging. I still held onto deep-rooted fears towards food and mistrust in my body. Emilie was the patient, reassuring, and trusted professional I needed to break free from the same patterns and fears that kept me trapped for so long. If someone told me two years ago that I’d reach a place where I would willingly and freely eat pasta, pizza, ice cream, french fries, croissants, cookies, or all the “fear foods” I used to avoid, I’d think they were out of their mind. I never thought I would reach such a place. Working with Emilie showed me that what I once believed to be impossible was possible. With her incredible patience, guidance, and support, I would not have developed the relationship with food that I do now. I can say with utmost gratitude that I am living a life where food is no longer in control and that is the greatest gift I could ever ask for.
