Emily Hillig, RD
Background
Hi! My name is Emily & I am a Registered Dietitian with a passion for helping people build a healthier, more balanced relationship with food. I earned my undergraduate degree in Dietetics from the University of Maryland and completed my dietetic internship at Virginia Tech, where I gained hands-on experience in a variety of clinical and community settings.
My approach to nutrition is practical, compassionate, and personalized—I believe food should nourish the body, and that it’s possible to eat well without giving up the foods you love. I’m especially passionate about helping others find sustainable habits that fit their unique lifestyle.
When I’m not working, you can usually find me out in nature, trying new foods, or spending quality time with my dog. I bring that same curiosity and joy for food into every client session, creating a supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered.

Approach
"As a dietitian in private practice, my approach is centered around personalization, evidence-based care, and a deep respect for the individual journey each client is on. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all nutrition plans. Instead, I take the time to understand my client’s goals, lifestyles, preferences, medical history, and emotional relationship with food. Food is more than fuel—it’s culture, comfort, and connection. That’s why I focus on building flexible and enjoyable eating patterns!"
