Health Coaching

Are you sick of not feeling like yourself?

Have you been trying to make healthy changes but still feel like no matter what you put in your body, you still aren’t feeling your best? Or maybe you feel sluggish after breakfast or lunch and can’t avoid that mid-afternoon slump? 

You are not alone, hundreds of women I’ve worked with as a health coach, have irregular bowel habits, uncomfortable bloating, pain, cramping, or gas…and unfortunately many believe that’s normal to feel this way! 

I’m here to tell you that it’s not.

What many people don’t realize is that what they eat directly affects their energy–and more. Just because a food or ingredient is labeled as healthy according to its definition, does not mean that it is something that YOU personally can digest properly or that your body can use for optimal health. 

You don’t have to suffer every day.

As a health coach specializing in uncovering food sensitivities, I can help you discover what is really going on in your body and the right foods to eat (or not eat) to keep you feeling your best. And don’t worry, you don’t have to eat “perfectly” to be healthy.

What you eat is much more than just your nutrition. What you eat affects all of your body systems. 

Do You Have? 

  • Fatigue
  • Brain fog
  • Mood swings
  • Digestive complaints (bloating, gas, cramping, constipation, diarrhea, or less than one bowel movement a day)
  • Acne
  • PMS symptoms
  • Insomnia
  • Skin rashes
  • Headaches/migraines
  • Joint Pain 

Digestive Woes

I’m here to help.

As a health coach, I specifically work with women that suffer from digestive woes and want to experience more freedom in their bodies by harnessing better sleep, healthier moods, and that may have hidden underlying food sensitivities or allergies. I take a Food First approach and match you up with the best recipes to help resolve your health issues.

Emily Roach Needham Health Coach Nutritionist

If you google food sensitivities, the list is long. There are many foods out there that we as humans can develop sensitivities to. This can cause havoc not only on energy levels, but many people develop skin rashes, uncomfortable digestive problems, joint pain, brain fog, sleep disruption, anxiety, and more.

That’s where I can help. I approach each case as a detective, looking to find the root cause of your sensitivities. I can work with you to get testing, start a food journal, and support you in an elimination diet to help heal your gut–and your body. This may sound confusing and even overwhelming to you. You may be thinking, Emily; please do not make me stop eating all of my favorite foods! I want to eat the things I love and that taste good! 

My health coaching and support can help you simplify the changes in your diet, so you can eat a lot of your favorite foods, make changes that last–and that give you results so that you can feel better!

Working together, I can help you feel better and live the life you deserve.

My clients have seen significant changes in their bloating, nausea, insomnia, mood and energy. Many of them are even able to go back to eating the foods they love.

I also help support mothers who have a child with a new food allergy diagnosis. It can be a scary and overwhelming time. I take the stress away from all the changes involved and map out how to make simple swaps in your kitchen and favorite recipes.

You still may be wondering – what exactly is a food allergy or sensitivity? And how do I know I have one? Read my recent blog post where I break down the differences. You may be surprised.

Testimonials from amazing clients

“I have been working with Emily for 6 months now and have attended 2 of her cooking classes. I was interested in working with a nutritionist due to my previous diagnosis and treatment for cancer. I wanted to arm myself with the healthiest diet I could to prevent any further issues. Since working with Emily I have learned about so many ingredients that I didn’t even know existed and gained a confidence in the kitchen that I never had before. It has resulted in getting off of one medication that I had been on for at least 10 years. There are many nutritionists out there that can give you advice but Emily is unique in that she provides recipes to incorporate into your life and is realistic about certain limitations with family or time. She is never offended if you don’t like some of the recipes, she just uses it as information to move towards other ones that will work. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in making a healthy change in their life and is willing to put in the work. The cooking classes are a great way to get a glimpse into what working with her would be like and take home some great recipes.”  -Melissa

“I worked with Emily for six months this year. She was nothing short of amazing. She is very knowledgeable about nutrition and all things cooking. She has the heart of a teacher and goes at your pace when she is teaching you something new. She is very in tune to when she should introduce new things to you, and not overwhelm you with information. One of the best investments I made in myself this year was working with Emily. She really helped me lay a foundation for a healthier lifestyle that I can carry with me for the rest of my life. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a coach and guide to get on track with healthy living.”  -Allison

Meeting with you allowed me the opportunity to gain knowledge and then with knowledge comes power.  I can now make knowledgeable choices for my family in terms of their nutrition and overall health, which frankly is one of the best feelings.  I so appreciate how comprehensive you were and how you knew so much and shared it in the most gracious and informative manner.  The entire process was powerful and helpful.  Thank you!

Emily, I am still smiling. What an amazing afternoon. Thank You for everything. I have spent many hours and a lot of money with other nutritionist, homeopaths, and dieticians. You by far have been the most informative and helpful. I look forward to starting my food plan and I will keep you posted along the way. With much gratitude!

I first met with Emily for help in cleaning up my diet and to explore how food could be used to improve my health and energy. Emily is so knowledgeable, informative, and not overwhelming in her approach. When my son was diagnosed with Celiac, one of my first thoughts was I need to call Emily! She expertly walked me through how to make our home gluten-free and safe for my son, offered several strategies to help my son’s gut heal, and literally walked me through the grocery store to help me come up with delicious meal options to feed my family. Without her help navigating the gluten-free world, my son would not be doing we well as he is. I will always be grateful for her guidance, understanding, and helpful tips! -Diane

NUTRITION AND ONE ON ONE HEALTH COACHING SERVICES

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to how you should eat. Nutrient requirements vary greatly depending on your age and stage in life, how active you are, and your lifestyle.

This is why “fad diets” that others try may not work for you. We are all unique and should be treated as such. Some of these diets are based on science and will work for some, but may not have YOUR optimal health needs in mind.

That’s where a health coach can come in.

I will help clear confusion and create an individualized plan to help you create a realistic, simple nutrition plan that you will actually stick to!
