Emily Woodward, R.N.

Functional Nutrition Consultant/ Registered Nurse

Emily is a Registered Nurse, Holistic Health and Wellness Coach, and an Internationally Certified Colon Hydrotherapist. Her love of people, anatomy, learning, and biology led her to nursing, where she went on to obtain her Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing at the University of Missouri in 2009. Her nursing career has spanned 12 years in Surgical, Medical, and Neuro/Trauma Intensive Care Units, as well as Interventional Radiology, Cardiovascular Pre and Post Surgical and Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). From Baltimore, Maryland to Oakland, California and a multitude of hospitals around the country as both a staff and traveling RN, she grew frustrated of witnessing patients becoming sicker and sicker year over year, despite daily advancements in allopathic medicine, and despite the latest greatest technologies that medicine had to offer them. Little was ever discussed with patients about preventative care, rather the focus was always on pharmaceuticals, surgery, and always treating the symptoms rather than identifying the root cause of disease and illness. Becoming increasingly more uncomfortable in the allopathic paradigm of “health” care, Emily left the ICU in September 2021 to pursue her soul’s work of educating people on holistic health, functional & whole food nutrition, and helping patients and clients heal through sustainable lifestyle choices with food as the focus, and encompassing the whole body, mind and spirit. Her favorite things include: hiking, being outside, cooking, reading, knitting, skiing, Taylor Swift, & spending time with dear family and friends.
