“One of the most rewarding steps I've ever taken was to engage Emma Hertzberg as my Nutritionist/Health Coach. My main goals were to add more wholesomeness to my monotonous meals and boost my energy. To my astonishment, in the 5 weeks that I've been working with Emma, those goals have long since been surpassed and additional benefits appear to be endless. With her nonjudgmental guidance and individualized approach, she has encouraged my intuition and attention towards my relationships/reactions to food. No cookie-cutter lists of "good foods" vs "bad foods," but instead unwavering support while I learn to trust myself in exploring what's right for me.

During all the sessions she shares information and ideas based on our weekly discussions, and has an uncanny sense of when I'm ready for the next useful fact or suggestion. In addition, her input has expanded my awareness way beyond diet. New-found motivation and enjoyment have emerged by my exercising to music and improving my environment.

This level of success is due to Emma's natural ability as a coach, along with deftly applied facilitation skills and a passionate commitment to her clients' well-being. Her constant and compassionate empathy creates a safe environment in which I can express myself openly and honestly. And as a result, new issues are continually uncovered and addressed. I could not ask more of a coach and would recommend her to anyone who desires increased health and vitality."
