“Emily’s approach was so helpful for my dancers and helped them understand the connection between good, sound nutrition and performance. They have learned how to fuel their bodies to make it through long rehearsals as well as the spurts of energy they need when on stage. As a mother I knew the importance of this but was unable to pull it all together by myself. Emily provided all of the advice and enthusiastic support we all needed to help establish what I hope will be life long lessons in a balanced, thoughtful approach to healthy eating.”
