About

Emma Gardner, MS, CNS, LDN

Hi! I'm Emma, the heart behind Kinfolk Nutrition. I'm a Certified Nutrition Specialist and health coach who believes in the power of food to foster community and joy, and that healing our relationship with it is personal, political, and possible.Growing up surrounded by women who were navigating a diet culture that had been acting against them for years, food was always... complicated.I enjoyed it, so did they.
I usually wanted more of it, so did they.They would say, "I can't eat... because it goes straight to my..."
I would interpret, "I should never eat... because that could happen to me."They would say, "I skip lunch, so I can eat..."
I would interpret, "I don't deserve to enjoy... if I eat according to my needs."They would say, "I could never wear/do/experience... because my body..."
I would interpret, "I must control my body, if I want to wear/do/experience..."

F^ck all of that.

My work is rooted in social justice, with an understanding that our health is deeply shaped by the world around us, not just our willpower (🙄). I don't subscribe to the idea of food as just fuel or medicine—it’s culture, it's comfort, sometimes it's pure chaos, it's embedded in memories, and yes: it is connection. So, I practice from a place of compassion, not correction. And, together, we help you build a nourishing, sustainable relationship with food that honors your lived experience.

Approach

wellbeing ≠ perfection

Welcome to a space where your story, your body, and your cultural roots are not just acknowledged—they're centered. Kinfolk Nutrition offers personalized, compassionate nutrition coaching designed especially for women navigating the unique intersections of identity, health, and life transitions. Whether you're balancing family, healing your relationship with food, navigating hormonal changes, or just plain tired of dealing with food...

I'm here for you.

Through personalized sessions, we’ll explore how food can support your mental health, energy, digestion, and overall well-being. We'll be learning to listen and respect the needs of your full self.

But, I'm not your mama's nutritionist.

We'll be saying buh-bye to rigid plans, tracking every bite, and shaming the bodies carrying us through this life. We'll focus on making sustainable shifts, reconnecting with your body’s cues, honoring your needs, and building skills that support your wellbeing long term.
