Hi and welcome to my site at The Biome Kitchen! I am Emma, and I am passionate about helping clients like you who are in GI distress feel better through optimal nutrition and lifestyle intervention. My philosophy is using nutrition research and science to back up my work as a clinician, writer and communicator. I often delve into lifestyle as we speak about gut health, diet, exercise, sleep and even stress. I am a fan of plants both growing them in my garden and cooking them up to eat! Because of this, you will see alot of gut friendly (super simple) recipes using ingredients right from the garden on my instagram @thebiomekitchen.
My career started in Boston as a Research Manager at The Center for the Study of Nutrition and Medicine, Harvard Medical School, specializing in critical care and obesity. Upon moving to Pennsylvania , I taught nurses nutrition and then opened up a Pediatric Private Practice called Nutrition for Kids, Teens and Families, outside of Philadelphia. Some other jobs included consulting for the Healthier Lifestyle Brand at Dietz & Watson Inc., and working as Director of Culinary Programs and Events, at The Wayne Art Center. Today, I exclusively focus on clients to optimize digestive health via nutrition counseling, cooking programs and education.
Please follow me on IG @thebiomekitchen for the latest gut health science and seasonal recipes or sign up for a 15 minute discovery call under the “counseling” tab here on this website for a one-on-one chat.
