Emily Hudak, MA, CHHC, CDSP

My name is Emily and I live in New Jersey. I am a full time self-proclaimed enthusiast in health and wellness and wholehearted believer in the power of balance. I am a Board Certified Holistic Health Practitioner through AFPA, a Certified Dietary Supplement Professional through American College of Healthcare Sciences and the National Association of Nutrition Professionals, and a Functional Nutrition Expert through MindBody Green. I also have a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling (I don’t practice clinically at this time).

My favorite things include rainy days, a sweaty workout, Mac and cheese, singing shamelessly in the car with my sunroof open (regardless of the weather conditions), dark chocolate, my daily smoothie, self development books, and my morning matcha.

I am so passionate about the intersection between physical and mental health and firmly believe in one’s ability to achieve optimal wellness through investment in the two. I have singlehandedly experienced the tremendous impact these foundational pillars have on our overall wellness and I cannot wait for you to experience the same!

I collaborate with my clients through the lens of lifestyle: including (but not limited to) nutrition, exercise, stress management, sleep hygiene, hydration, and self care. I feel as though these are of the most prominent pillars of health and are foundational to well being. I strive to collaborate with the client in acknowledgment of their life circumstances and environment. Sustainable, long term wellness involves small habit changes in order to move the client closer to restored nourishment and increased vitality and wellbeing.

My philosophy is rooted in the marriage of behavioral change and awareness around mindset — another manifestation of the mind-body connection. It is essential that we are working on both mindset, as in preexisting beliefs about health, toxic relationships with food, negative thoughts that impact our physiology, how we see food, and so on, coupled with tangible, implementable steps in nutrition, exercise, sleep, and so on. This is where true, sustainable success can take place.

I understand that the experience of making shifts in lifestyle can be daunting. It is my hope that I make the process enjoyable, comfortable, and through our relationship, you feel inspired to maintain these changes for years to come.
