Looking for nutrition support? How can we help?

Rooted Heart Nutrition (RHN) is a joint venture led by Emily Haymond, MS, RDN and Kelsey Perusse, MS, RDN. Both have seen and experienced the ways good nutrition can transform health and help people live their best lives. Emily and Kelsey are both registered dietitian nutritionists and focus on integrative nutrition. As graduates of Bastyr University they take a functional medicine approach and work to get to the root cause of health challenges.

At RHN, we know sometimes you just need an expert to sift through all the nutrition noise. We are here to help you navigate through the noise and find an eating pattern that works for you. We believe that food should be at the center of all nutrition advice. Kelsey is unique in her ability to help build menu plans, develop recipes for prescribed diets, and sustainably integrate these changes into your life. Emily is exceptional in her ability to break down the science of nutrition and explain it to others in a way that just sticks. We combine these skills into our approach of applied nutrition.

As a team both Emily and Kelsey provide judgment-free integrative nutrition counseling and work with clients to make small changes turn into sustainable habits.
