Emahlea Wilcher, RD

Hi! My name is Emahlea (“Em-ah-lee”) Wilcher. I am a Registered Dietitian who is licensed in various states. I completed my Master of Public Health at University of Washington in Seattle in 2021 (go Huskies!) and now I’m all the way out in the southern United States in Nashville, TN.

​

I believe your struggles with food and body are not a sign of weakness or failure. They are signs that your body and nervous system have been doing their best to protect you through difficult experiences.

​

So many of us carry shame for the ways we eat or cope, but at New Approach Nutrition, you’ll find compassion instead of judgment. Together, we’ll gently explore what’s underneath the patterns you feel stuck in and discover practical ways to bring more calm, safety, and balance into your daily life.

​

I see food, body, and self as deeply connected. I offer trauma-informed nutrition therapy, which is about so much more than what you eat. It considers stress and the ways your body deals with that stress. Trauma-informed nutrition therapy is about restoring trust in yourself, learning to listen to your body’s cues, and creating personal practices that truly fit your life.

​

My role is to walk alongside you with curiosity and kindness, helping you reconnect with yourself and build lasting change that feels supportive, not punishing.
