I imagine my ideal client as someone who's ready to break free from diet culture, tired of all the approaches they've tried before that just don’t work. They’re open to making small, consistent changes and are willing to explore a more balanced relationship with food. What they need most is accountability, support, and guidance to help them take control of their eating habits in a way that feels empowering, not restrictive. They value open dialogue and want a plan that makes them feel nourished and in charge, instead of overwhelmed.

Hello! My name is Gabby. I am a registered dietitian that works with clients in Maryland and virtually across the USA. I have lived with chronic illness since I was 14, which inspired me to get into the nutrition field. However, over the many years of my education, I developed a poor relationship with food and body image.

Most of my clients come to me to lose weight, but often we discover other health issues that are causing the weight issues, such as, chronic inflammation, chronic stress, toxic overload, and gastrointestinal issues, such as, poor digestion and absorption of foods. It is my goal to understand someone's whole health story and discover the root cause of some of their health issues. I provide individualized treatment plans for each of my clients, and I allow them to decide what they are ready to take on with my support, expert guidance, and counseling.

At Olney Chiropratic Center we treat the person. We prefer to look at the body as a system and symptoms as the way the body talks to us. When the pateint is experincing symptoms of back, neck pain, an extremity problem and/or possible headaches we search for the cause of the dysfunction to resolve the problem and work with the patient to restore health. We use Applied Kinesiology as one of our tools to evaluate structural and physiological balance. We like the patient to be involved with nutritional, lifestyle, exercise recommendations to best reach the patients health goals.

I help people rebuild trust with food, eating, and their bodies without shame, rigid food rules, or weight-focused care. My work is grounded in a non-diet, weight-inclusive, and trauma-informed approach, with a focus on eating disorders, disordered eating, ADHD, PCOS, body image, and intuitive eating. Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted by food noise, guilt around eating, inconsistent hunger cues, or the pressure to “get it right.” Together, we work toward steadier nourishment, more flexibility, and a relationship with food that feels less consuming and more supportive.

I work exclusively with those affected by cancer - whether it's prevention, active treatment or cancer survivorship. I have specialized and targeted education in integrative health with a focus on whole food, oncology nutrition. Cancer, like any disease, is a barometer of imbalance - often countless imbalances - which contribute to and create an environment hospitable to cancer. I am skilled in evaluating the systemic imbalances recognized as the hallmarks of cancer and creating highly personalized and targeted recommendations to address those imbalances.

My passion is using Eastern healing methods to enhance my clients' well-being. I was introduced to shiatsu as a college student in Tokyo while training Shotokan Karate at International Christian University. I experienced first hand how shiatsu improves flexibility, speeds recovery time and enhances performance. I studied shiatsu at the Ohashi Institute in NY, where I received my certification in 1994 and then opened my practice. My interest in Asian philosophy, language and culture underlies my shiatsu practice. It enables me to fully use my skills and knowledge to help clients heal, relax, and achieve healthier, happier lives.

Hi! My name is Emma Sharp. I am a Registered Dietitian in Maryland. I see patients in Greenbelt and Columbia, Maryland, as well as virtually across the US. Growing up loving science and animals, my passion for nutrition originated from researching plant-based nutrition to learn if I was able to achieve a healthy diet that aligned with my ethical beliefs and preferences. Upon learning how I could align my values with my health goals, I became passionate about studying nutrition in order to help others use the power of nutrition to their benefit!
