Emma Gould, BSc (Hons), DipCNM, mBANT, CNHC, AFMCP
Associate Clinical Nutritionist
Emma Gould is a BANT Registered Nutritional Therapist in the UK with a degree in Human Biology and Psychology. She’s also a member of the Institute for Functional Medicine and the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council.
Emma’s own personal experience with psoriasis started around 15 years ago, which initially led her down the conventional route that left her skin constantly smothered in steroid creams that ultimately reached a point where her skin stopped responding to the medication.
Knowing that there must be another way, Emma began exploring the link between what is happening inside the body and how this is reflected in your skin.
Within a few months of committed dietary and lifestyle changes, her skin had cleared and she’s never looked back! This led her to a new path of living out her passion while helping others to heal their skin from the inside out.
Sara Gibbons MS, CNS, LDN
Associate Clinical Nutritionist
Sara’s journey into nutrition began in her early 20s when she faced hormone and metabolic issues that traditional methods didn’t resolve. This experience sparked her curiosity about the impact of diet and lifestyle on overall health.
By making dedicated dietary and lifestyle changes, Sara saw significant improvements to her symptoms. This personal and empowering transformation inspired her to help others do the same. With clients, she takes a hyper personalized approach, focusing on finding the root causes of health issues, connecting the dots between symptoms, and creating sustainable habits that support healing while keeping the joy, pleasure, and traditions around food intact.
When she’s not working with clients, Sara enjoys seeing live performances, taking long walks in Central Park, dancing, reading, and cooking.
Michelle Nilan, MS, CNS, LDN
Associate Clinical Nutritionist
Michelle Nilan, MS, CNS, LDN is an associate clinical nutritionist at the Integrative Nutrition Group who has worked with Jennifer on cases for over a year now.
Every client with whom she has interacted + worked with her has only had praise for her empathy + insight.
In addition to being a clinical nutritionist + certified nutrition specialist, Michelle is also a yoga teacher, and ACSM-certified personal trainer.
She obtained her Master’s in Human Nutrition from University of Bridgeport and also holds a Bachelor’s in Philosophy from Humboldt State University.
Michelle shares in my own persistence to keep digging deeper until the root causes of health issues are uncovered. Over the past year working under Jennifer, Michelle has developed an extensive understanding of the complex relationship between the skin, gut, and overall health, and values being able to turn this into practical, actionable guidance to help others rebuild healthy skin.
She is additionally well-versed in metabolic conditions, insulin resistance and diabetes, and nutrition for high-risk pregnancies.
Michelle has a lot of personal empathy for skin issues because of her own skin struggles with severe cystic acne, fungal acne, and tinea versicolor, as well as with managing thyroid, hormone, and autoimmunity issues.
She knows all too well what it feels like to have significant life-impacting symptoms completely dismissed and be told by doctors that she’d “just have to live with it.”
And due to her work in philosophy, as well as her personal history of childhood trauma, she has a deep appreciation for the invisible mental and emotional suffering of skin & health issues that aren’t obvious from the outside, and allows this to guide her approach of seeing a whole person rather than merely a collection of symptoms or a problem to fix.
When she’s not working with clients, Michelle enjoys staying updated with the latest nutrition research, lifting weights, reading, going to museums, spending time in nature, drinking coffee while people-watching, and playing with her cat Daoshi.
