Emily Willes – Training and Nutrition

At that place in my life where all the rules have changed when it comes to losing weight. I have been so frustrated after trying everything I can on my own without results. I was referred to Emily by a friend and in our first meeting she took the time to really listen and understand my lifestyle, my goals and to all the methods I had tried. She made me feel so very comfortable and never judged. Then she started me on a new path, slowly, carefully, intelligently, and reasonably. And changes, nearly impossible before I met Emily, have begun! Feels so great to have her smart, calm and caring guidance.

When I thought about looking in depth at the way I have been eating, I read a lot of books, looked up tons of stuff on my own, but when that did not really motivate me, I decided that talking to a real human who can put themselves in my shoes and understand and analyze my lifestyle would probably be a good idea if I really wanted to feel healthier.
It’s hard to find a person you think will understand your needs and your moods and be able to figure out an eating plan that will work for you, won’t judge you, will incorporate the foods you don’t want to «give up», and that will work for your crazy schedule that actually does not allow time for eating at all sometimes. (I literally have no time!) Emily was a wonderful choice. She has compassion, first and foremost. She has been there. She understands real human experiences, moods, schedules, stress levels, and etc. She is so easy to talk to and she really just wants you to feel great about yourself starting from within. This is why she is so amazing. I love talking with her. She makes this easy and that is the biggest roadblock for most people. Life is hard enough without adding someone else to be accountable to. Emily doesn’t make you feel as though you have to be accountable to her, she makes you realize that you should be accountable to yourself and therefore, it works. Do yourself and your body a favor and work with Emily. She is real, down to earth, kind, and just the absolute best.

Emily is knowledgeable and passionate about Nutrition. She is also super supportive, friendly, and flexible. Before I met Emily, I had no support system and I literally went out to eat all the time. Emily decided to take me to the grocery store and we walked through the aisles. She taught me how to choose healthier foods and to always look through the ingredients. Emily also checks in with me though e-​mail or text to see how I’ve been doing with tracking, eating etc. Emily is a great nutritionist and I’m glad to have her in my life. Thank you Emily for all you do!

I first started working with Emily so that I would have an educated and experienced nutritionist to work with my clients, but soon found myself letting her take the reigns on my nutrition as well. I’ve studied the subject for a long time but found that Emily was able to fill in some of the gaps in my own understanding of food interactions as well as helping me with the main problem most people have: Accountability.
The reason I refer my clients to Emily isn’t just her education but it is her ability to build rapport and make you feel comfortable. Talking to someone about your eating habits, desire to lose weight, mistakes you may have made etc. is not the easiest thing in the world, so it is important to feel you are working with someone who is kind and genuinely wants to see you succeed vs. someone who is judging you.
