Frequently Asked Questions

• Everyone is welcome to schedule a free 20-minute Discovery Session to determine if we are a good fit.  You should be comfortable with my approach and expertise.  My clients understand that restoring health is a process and are ready to make changes to their diet and lifestyle.  As part of the Discovery Session,  Emily will explain her approach to your case based on your symptoms and health conditions.  

• Relationships with my clients are partnerships.  We work together to improve your health based on your goals.  We work at your pace and develop action plans together based on your preferences and lifestyle.  While I provide guidance & recommendations based on the scientific literature and clinical experience, each client presents with their own unique bio-individuality.  What works for one may not work for all.  Your action plan is personalized to help you tap into your own healing capabilities.

• In the state of NJ, anyone can offer nutrition advice and use of the term "Nutritionist" is not a protected title.  It’s up to the consumer to do their due diligence to determine the level of education, qualifications, board certifications, experience, etc. 

• Health coaches can educate on healthy eating in general or educate on specific diets applicable to the general population.  They can’t advise on dietary changes for specific medical conditions or provide individualized nutrition plans.  It is not within their scope of practice.
