“Working with Emily was a breath of fresh air. I appreciated her focused attention and support. She is well informed about all aspects of nutrition and health. She helped me to lose weight which I had struggled with for years. And the best part was that I was not hungry, but instead deeply satisfied and nourished. I feel healthier eating and drinking more nutritiously. She's more than a health coach. She's the best friend you need to support your life long changes for the better.”

- Lenora Boyle - The Sweet Life Coach / Leader of Italy Retreats

There’s a lot of conflicting information out there about diet which can feel confusing and overwhelming!

I believe that a plant-based lifestyle should be simple, joyful, straightforward, and tailored to fit your specific needs and goals. And that's the whole reason I created this program . . . to remove the confusion and help you start feeling better NOW.

I’ve been living a plant-based lifestyle for over a decade and while it’s been an amazing journey, there are also some plant-based pitfalls that most people don't know about. After learning these lessons the hard way, it's my mission to make sure you avoid the mistakes that can derail you.

Work with me if…

You’re confused and overwhelmed when it comes to food and nutrition, and just not sure what the heck to eat, or what works for YOUR body.
You have a recurring health issue and you’ve been told that you could benefit from a plant-based diet but don’t know how to transition, where to begin, or what to eat.
You’re frustrated with your weight, you’ve tried lots of different diets and meal plans, counted calories, carbs or points and spend time analyzing nutrition labels - only to lose the weight and gain it back.
You crash at 4pm and need that hit of caffeine and sugar to make it through the rest of your day.
You’re upset about animal cruelty but wondering where you’re going to get your protein, iron, calcium, and think you’ll have to give up your favorite meals.
You’re concerned about climate change and the earth’s diminishing resources. You want to be a part of the solution but don’t know where to start.
You’re so bored with the food you make, and are looking to learn how to cook new meals that taste amazing AND are aligned with your health goals and time constraints. You LOVE food and want the skills to make it tasty.
You’re highly motivated and committed to put in time, effort and resources to transform your life NOW.
You have an open mind and are excited to experiment to find your best version of a plant-based lifestyle for your best life!

Here’s what sets me apart from other coaches, holistic health practitioners and plant-based diet support programs:

Freedom, Not Restriction

I won’t hand you a “do not eat” list. Nothing is completely off limits. Instead, I will empower you to add in certain foods that will help you reach your goals faster, and more healthfully. Our focus is abundance, joy and high-quality deliciousness.
My goal is to guide you to the optimal plant-based lifestyle that works for YOU, whether that means vegan, vegetarian, or no label at all - simply eating mostly whole plant foods, rooted in sound, balanced nutrition. One size does NOT fit all.

Transformative, Not a One-Time Session

This isn’t a one-time health consultation with a protocol to follow. This is 4 months of step-by-step learning and experimenting to find what works best for you. My loving guidance, expertise, and support can help you permanently transform your life.
This 1:1 program includes a pantry makeover, in-depth cooking lessons, online grocery shopping tour and a makeup/personal care products makeover all over Zoom which will allow us to go deep and make sure you are set up and organized, all from the comfort of your own home.
We’ll focus on practical, everyday, real-life solutions to help make your transition to this lifestyle fun and doable for your unique lifestyle and preferences.

Ancient Knowledge Meets Modern Life

I have life-long knowledge of Ayurveda, the oldest holistic health system originating from India. You’ll learn about some simple common sense lifestyle principles that can deepen your health and wellbeing, reduce stress and expand your consciousness.
In addition to diving into practical lifestyle solutions and plant-based nutrition, you’ll get personalized 1:1 cooking lessons with me. I’ve trained and taught for over three years under Matthew Kenney Cuisine, the leader in the gourmet plant-based food movement. Your meals don’t have to be complex, but we’re going for flavor! It’s SO important that you enjoy your meals.
This program is holistic - our main focus will be food, but we’ll also dive into non-toxic clean beauty, personal care products and important wellness topics that are crucial to your success and overall health, and simple eco-conscious swaps and easy everyday habit upgrades for a truly well-rounded transformation for your health and wellbeing, as well as for mama earth.

Above all, I’m committed to making your experience FUN and JOYFUL, because it should be!
Yes, it will take time, effort and resources but this program is a celebration of all the beautiful changes you’ll make for YOU that will last a lifetime.

FAQ’s

What does plant-based really mean? +

I define it as enjoying a high-quality diet rich in whole plant foods, including vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds and spices - that can include some - or no - animal products. Expanding to a holistic lifestyle definition, it means opting for clean, plant-based beauty and personal care products and favoring natural, non-toxic home goods.

Why should I transition to a whole food plant-based lifestyle? +

For Health Reasons #wholefoodplantbased

Numerous studies have shown that when you base your meals on whole, plant-based foods - vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, whole grains and legumes - you reduce your risk of many chronic diseases and can help manage or even reverse disease.

Many people find it easy to slim down or stabilize their weight by enjoying delicious plant-based meals instead of restrictive dieting because a well planned personalized plant-based diet is sustainable, nutrient dense and satisfying.

This way of eating can boost your immune system, improve your mood, clear your skin and lengthen your life along with myriad other benefits.

For the Animals + the Environment #votewithyourfork

Are you upset by animal cruelty, climate change and pollution? Raising livestock for food in factory farms causes massive destruction to our planet in many ways, while causing pain and suffering to animals.

Our earth’s resources are disappearing fast. It’s disrupting our ecosystems, acidifying our oceans, polluting our water, burning the Amazon - all at an alarming rate.

By eating plant-based, you are an active participant in the fight against climate change simply by doing what you must do everyday - eat - reducing the use of earth’s diminishing resources needed to produce our food.

You can also reduce your carbon footprint by shopping local whenever possible, choosing whole plant foods over processed and reducing food waste. By voting for fruits and vegetables, especially those grown locally and/or organically, and clean, cruelty- free ingredients and meals, you become part of the collective voice for change by increasing demand for healthy food.

Will I feel deprived? +

On the contrary! This way of eating and living is the opposite of deprivation. Nothing is “restricted”. However, you’ll be surprised how quickly your tastes change and you really do crave whole, fresh plant foods. Because you’re nourishing your body with potent nutritive foods, not empty calories, you’ll feel deeply satisfied. I believe you should love the food you eat, so taste is of utmost importance - I will show you how to make healthy plant-based eating divinely delicious!

Is this hard? How time-consuming is this program? +

I designed this program to be step-by-step, and because it’s a 1:1 program, we’ll move at your pace. Based on your current cooking abilities and goals, we’ll also determine your time allowance for preparing meals. You can expect to spend more time in the first 2 weeks of the program as we get you organized and set up for success. I also intend for it to be fun, a celebration of all the beautiful changes you want for your diet and life, while you reach your goals! I’ll be there to guide you each step of the way.

What if I can't cook?
Do I need any special cooking equipment to do this program? +

That’s OK! All it takes is some interest and an open mind. Being able to make some of your own meals is one of the greatest skills you can have for your health, and wallet. That’s why getting your kitchen organized, cooking lessons and strategies for making it practical for a busy schedule are built into the program. I’ll also provide lots of resources for when you eat out. We can work with the cooking equipment you already have, so not to worry. However, there are 4 very helpful, time-saving tools I do recommend that we’ll go over together. You may already own them!

My parnter loves eating meat, how can this work for both of us? +

Not a problem! There are ways to individualize the protein option in recipes. What is helpful though, is if your partner also has the desire to clean up his/her diet (ie. reduce processed foods, increase whole, real food) -- or is at least supportive of your desire to clean up your diet.

What kind of results can I expect? +

What you put into it is what you’ll get out of it. You’ll receive all the knowledge, individualized guidance and loving support, but the willingness to upgrade your daily habits and change what you’re doing most of the time is your transformation. The best results occur when you’re willing to invest the time and energy required to turn new knowledge into consistent habits and practices. Like anything new, there can be a learning curve, but repeated again and again, it becomes second nature.

How do I schedule our sessions? And what about the between-sessions support? +

We will choose mutually agreeable meeting times for our in-person sessions. We’ll also determine our regularly scheduled phone sessions that will be “your” dedicated time slot. During the intake process you will be guided through this process. If either one of us needs to reschedule a session due to illness, travel, etc.,we can always reschedule. If you need to reach out to me between our scheduled sessions, you can email me anytime, and I will typically reply within 1 business day.

Is this expensive? How do I know it will be worth it? +

If you’ve read this far, it means that you understand the real value of coaching, which is being able to get healthy and change your life. You likely also realize, or have experienced, the frustrations of staying stuck – and are ready to finally end that cycle of the ‘quick fix’ or Band-aid approach that’s just not sustainable. In order to make the changes you truly want to make, it’s going to require commitment. A commitment on your end that is likely to be different than anything you’ve tried in the past. By making a serious financial investment, it’s a way of affirming that you’re ALL IN – that you’re ready to commit the time, energy, and resources to get healthy once and for all. It will be worth it if you decide it’s going to be worth it. I promise.
