Nicole Fennell, RD, LDN,

founder and Functional Dietitian Nutritionist
As a fellow Hashimoto’s patient, Nicole has first-hand experiencing navigating the ups and downs of living with thyroid and immune system dysfunction from a personal and professional standpoint.

Her unique approach to nutritional management of chronic disease and nagging symptoms includes focusing on nourishing and building the body up versus tearing it down with low-calorie diets and high amounts of exercise. Believing that eating healthy meals should be as simple and habitual as brushing your teeth, she helps her clients find peace and understanding with food, their bodies, and leaving symptoms behind. She helps her clients create healthy meals for themselves and their families while utilizing tasty and therapeutic foods strategies.

A large part of her approach also includes a focus on personalized nutritional therapies based on each person’s unique biochemical make-up. Using state-of-the-art lab testing, she is able to dive deep into your unique biochemistry to tailor nutritional strategies to your story, your symptoms, and your labs.

Nicole has a real food approach and believes healthy eating, physical activity, and peace of mind are key to disease prevention and management. She experiments in the kitchen to make wholesome and nourishing meals from the most natural, real ingredients possible that train the taste-buds to crave healthy food. In her spare time, Nicole enjoys being active with her husband and three kids, lifting weights, practicing yoga, walking cooking, eating, and being outdoors.

Emily Kozarsky, MS, CNS, LDN

Functional Nutritionist and Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist
I’m a certified nutrition specialist (CNS), licensed dietitian nutritionist (LDN), and functional medicine provider. Unlike many other professionals in this industry, functional nutrition is a second career path of mine. I started in the fashion merchandising space where I worked for many years as a footwear buyer. I loved the job at first, but ultimately grew dissatisfied with the long work weeks, endless amount of stress, and unhealthy work/life balance. I was overworking, undereating, and doing a terrible job at taking care of myself. I got diagnosed with hashimotos in 2015 and soon began to realize I needed to rethink my path. I always had a passion for nutrition and cooking and decided to start a healthy cooking blog. I noticed how much better I felt when I was eating nourishing foods and also how happy I felt educating people on ways to eat more nutritiously. It wasn’t long after that I realized I wanted to pursue a career in nutrition. I graduated in 2019 from Maryland University of Integrative Health with a Masters of Science in Nutrition and Integrative Health. My own healing led me to wanting to work with women and help them find ways to nourish themselves from the inside out. My specialties now include all things women’s health from thyroid to reproductive health, to gut health and skin health. Like many of you reading this, I am a working mama, and I know how hard it is to prioritize your own health when caring for others. I can promise you though, that once you start showing yourself the same love and compassion you show your kiddos, you will absolutely never look back.

On a personal note, I am a mama to two of the most precious kiddos, Oliver (6) and Zoey (3). I love the beach, sushi, dark chocolate, ballet barre classes, and cooking and baking in my kitchen. I am an east coast girly- originally from Philadelphia and now live just outside of Boston. I am so excited to get to know you!

Orli Rabin, MPH, RD, INHC

Registered Dietitian and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach
Hi there! I’m Orli, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) with a Master’s in Public Health (MPH), specializing in autoimmune conditions and gut health. My journey into functional nutrition began long before my professional career—it started in a home where food was valued for its connection to health and well-being and deepened when I watched my sweet mama undergo a stressful life event, deal with unexplained symptoms, and face the brink of an autoimmune diagnosis. Her experiences, including being dismissed and gaslit by conventional care providers, opened my eyes to how truly life-changing the right care, nutrition, and lifestyle interventions can be.

In my 20s, I thought that health was all about willpower and perfection. But through my own humbling postpartum recovery and the daily balancing act of motherhood, I’ve come to embrace a gentler, more sustainable approach to wellness. It’s not about doing everything perfectly; it’s about nourishing yourself with intention, slowing down, and listening to your body.

I love helping clients untangle complex health issues and discover clarity with tools like functional lab testing, personalized protocols, and plenty of encouragement and cheerleading along the way! Whether you’re struggling with stubborn digestive symptoms, navigating autoimmune disease, or simply trying to feel like yourself again, my goal is to be your partner and advocate in this (often frustrating) journey.

Beyond my professional role, I’m married to my sweetheart, Dani, and am a proud mama to two incredible kiddos, Rafi (2.5) and Ellie (1.3), as well as our sweet + rambunxious doggo, Herschel. We are based in California, and when not working, can be found traveling to random places, hiking in nature, getting sandy at the beach, batch cooking in the kitchen, or having soulful conversations with friends over a cozy drink. I can’t wait to work with you!
