Health Professionals in Charlotte, NC

I am a naturopathic doctor (ND) here to help you address the root cause(s) of your health concerns and improve your health through education, partnership, support and natural, drug-free therapies. Our health is affected by many factors. I am here to educate & empower you towards the health promoting actions, thoughts, & choices within your control so you are free to be the most healthy, vibrant, beautiful & balanced YOU possible.

Are you tired of trying different diets in hopes it will help you reach your goals? Staying in the same cycle only to have an outcome of defeat? My approach is to get you out of that comfort zone and coach you to a healthier lifestyle with no pills, no shakes, and focus on FOOD first. I can test your metabolism with science based technology and customize a nutrition plan that will fit YOUR lifestyle and won't defeat you! I invite you to a NEW health journey, whether weight loss or nutritional/clinical needs, WE will meet your GOALS!

Are you struggling with bloating & gut symptoms with NO answers as to WHY? Are you lacking confidence (especially in social settings) due to your bloat & gut symptoms? Do you have symptoms that you think are related to your poor gut health (i.e. acne, hormonal imbalances, brain fog, etc.)? As a young, busy woman, it can feel exhausting when you're trying to figure everything out on your own, with little direction and clarity. I can imagine that your hormonal imbalances & frustrating gut issues are making you feel fatigued with low mood, unable to think clearly, feel overwhelmed, and lack confidence in your skin.

As a dietitian I am able to help people in a variety of ways. From sports performance, weight management, diabetes and disease management and other client needs I have been trained in a variety of areas to understand and apply science and research to develop the plan of action to help. Using metabolic testing to assess the metabolism of my clients, along with custom meal plans and other services I am able to create and execute a realistic and achievable plan for my clients.

I offer a weight neutral, client-centered, non-judgmental, trauma informed and somatically oriented approach to nutrition counseling where we work together to explore and heal your relationship with food and body image. I specialize in working with folks who have eating disorders, disordered eating, diabetes, PCOS and athletes. These experiences help inform my nutrition practice and I’m excited to continue to learn from the clients I have the privilege of working with now.

I’m a Registered Dietitian who is passionate about working with people who want to improve their relationship with food. If eating and body image are taking up more energy than is in line with your values, we would be a great fit together to discover how you can nourish your body with less overthinking and stress. I hope to be alongside you in the ups and downs of your journey and provide a listening ear, support, and gentle feedback and structure when you feel it's needed.  I practice from a weight-inclusive lens. I am an immigrant from Venezuela and respect the importance of cultural foods and eating patterns.

Aspire is an integrated practice, providing nutrition and mental health counseling, that has created a culture supportive of intuitive eating, using therapeutic interventions and mindfulness practices to enhance the nourishment of individuals. We are a team of social workers, registered dietitians and mental health counselors who are passionate about preventing and treating mental illness and improving overall community health. People easily understand the connection between nutritional deficiencies and physical illness, however few people understand the connection between nutrition, depression and mental illness.

I’m a registered dietitian with a private practice that supports individuals struggling with eating disorders, chronic dieting, and body image issues - for the folks I work with, food feels hard. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space for all individuals to share and process their experiences - my style is warm, accessible, and not without humor. I regularly integrate nutrition science with body-based (somatic) practices and therapeutic coaching to help my clients learn to nourish themselves from the bottom up, with confidence.

I can help you by doing "medical detective" work. This means addressing the most fundamental causes of disease, not just treating symptoms. Many of my patients have seen multiple specialists with no improvement, and are tired of drugs and their side effects. If you are ready for a new, natural, comprehensive approach to your health, let's embark on the journey together. Let's get to the bottom of what's going on, and work together to improve not only how you look & feel now, but prevent problems in the future.

Are you wanting nutrition support but don't know where to start? Are meal times confusing, overwhelming, or frustrating? Are you currently struggling with an eating disorder, emotional eating, chronic dieting, feeling like your "addicted to food", negative self talk, or balancing food and exercise without weight being the focus of success? As an anti-diet, weight neutral dietitian, I get it. It's hard to eat for you, appreciate your body, and enjoy exercise amongst all the always changing, contradictory nutrition messages. Let me make it easier!

I live and practice by the belief that all foods have a place in a healthy and balanced diet, and that no one food is “bad”. In a society where we are constantly searching for the next trending diet plan or magic pill, I am committed to countering the noise with evidence-based information and a mind-body approach to nutrition and overall wellbeing. I am passionate about helping my clients make realistic and sustainable lifestyle changes that they feel good about – physically, mentally and emotionally.

I love helping individuals of all ages to heal relationships with food, eating, and body image. I have experience providing nutrition counseling for different levels of eating disorders and disordered eating, Medical Nutrition Therapy for disease states, as well as general nutrition education from an evidence-based approach. I have a passion for busting nutrition myths and educating about what we can add rather than subtract from our diet.

I help my patients find the root cause of their disease or symptoms, and provide an individualized approach to treatment based on their unique needs. I specifically work with a lot of hormonal issues including menstrual pain or irregularities, PCOS, and fertility issues as well as digestive issues including bloating, constipation, diarrhea, Irritable Bowel, Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, food sensitivities, and more. With the right tools, testing, and proper evaluation, it is possible to get the answers that we need so you can feel good, have more energy, and live a pain-free life.

Are you constantly struggling with your weight? Uncertain how to eat for YOUR body? Sick and tired of following "trendy" diets that get you nowhere? There is oftentimes a disconnect when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle; we know what’s good for our bodies, but we don’t always act accordingly. Emma Johnson, Nutritionist LLC aims to mend the gap between knowing and doing, by catering to each individual's unique circumstances.

Working towards your nutrition and health goals can be tricky. There's so many different pieces to it that it can feel overwhelming and sometimes impossible to achieve. As a registered dietitian my mission is to provide you with all the tools and education you need to truly make food a joyful experience, instead of a daunting one. I make reaching your goals feel attainable, easy, and set you up for long-term success.
