Emahlea Wilcher, MPH, RD, LD
Founder and Chief Executive Officer of New Approach Nutrition
Hi, I’m Emahlea (“Em-ah-lee”) Wilcher!
I'm a Registered Dietitian (also known as RD/RDN), nutrition therapist, and health coach. I have a master of public health from University of Washington (go Huskies!). Now, I'm located all the way on the opposite side of the country in Nashville, Tennessee. I see clients anywhere virtually!
When you work with me, you can expect to set strong goals and I'll guide you along in how to meet them. I use a trauma-informed approach so we can move at the pace that is most comfortable and safe for you. If you have a challenging relationship with food and your body, I'll work alongside you to strengthen and heal that relationship. I center my practice around developing body respect and cultivating body wisdom, allowing you to have a peaceful relationship with food that motivates you to grow in a direction that works best for you.
In my free time, I like to go to the gym, travel, hang out with my cat, try new foods, and play guitar!

Abigail Alder, MS, RDN, CDN
Registered Dietitian & Nutrition Therapist
Hi, I’m Abigail (Abbie) Alder!
I'm a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Nutrition Therapist originally from Syracuse, New York. I completed my Master of Science in Nutrition and Dietetics from Buffalo State University in 2023, and I currently live in Buffalo, New York.
I offer nutrition therapy for any and all nutrition-related concerns, and I have a passion for working with people from all walks of life. I use a trauma-informed approach in our work together, which translates to moving at a pace that is safe and comfortable for you. We will collaborate together to find what works best for you as a person, taking into full account your specific life circumstances.
My nutrition therapy approach is truly personalized to your needs and your wellbeing. When working with me, you will find that I heavily promote sustainability. This approach allows you to build life-long habits to help reach your goals. I empower you to take ownership of your health to make changes that best fit your preferences and lifestyle.
In my free time, I love to cook, do yoga, go for walks, and do creative projects. I especially enjoy trying new things, traveling, and learning!
