On-the-Go Clients Love Working with Emily

(and the feeling is mutual)

“After several months of the COVID 19 lockdown, which turned into several months of being sedentary, which turned into several months of completely overeating all the wrong food items for my overall health and weight needs, I was referred to one of the best nutritionists this side of heaven, Emily Copeland!
Emily is knowledgeable, professional, and most of all, she cares about her clients and their success. It is because of Emily Copeland that I have continued to eat better, feel better, and my overall health is brighter than ever before.”

“I’ve tried a plethora of different diet/nutrition plans and coaching programs in the last 15 years, and I have to say that working with Emily Copeland by far has been the single most impactful investment I’ve ever made for my health.
Emily is the most compassionate and understanding health coach I have ever worked with, and I feel very comfortable opening up to her about sensitive, personal topics like emotional eating and what goes through my brain when I choose certain foods. At every session, she asks open-ended questions that guide me to set my own goals – what works best for ME this week – instead of simply handing me a generic list of what works for other people.
I truly feel like Emily knows and values me as my individual self, and that personal connection has been vital to my success.”

“I have been working with Emily on personal training and nutrition coaching. I personally had a difficult time before trying to plan meals, balance my macros, and get around to prepping everything. I was often eating snacks, going a long time between meals, and did not have a good routine.
Since working with Emily, I find my nutrition and meal planning to be so easy, and I do not feel like I am part of a diet plan or phase. Each month, we meet to create nutritional goals for myself and how I plan to achieve them. During our personal training sessions, Emily checks in with me about how it's going and also reassures me that we are working on a lifestyle, not a diet plan. I find the accountability very helpful. I also especially love the EatLove app that Emily uses, it provides easy meals that don't require a lot of prep time and remind me to eat a well-balanced, consistent diet.
I can already sense that I am on a path to a sustainable way of eating and taking care of my nutritional needs.”
