Emily is a former professional ballet dancer.   She now has a Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Nutrition from Georgia State University.  Her Master’s thesis was a research study on elite level ballet dancers.   She is a registered licensed dietitian and has completed additional training in several areas.  Her areas of expertise are in weight management, nutrition for athletic performance, wellness, food allergies, celiac disease, and disordered eating.    She sees clients for these nutritional concerns in person and through web based nutrition counseling.  She does not do eating disorder counseling via the web and strongly recommends that clients struggling with eating disorders be treated in person by a trained dietitian and treatment team.
