The New Approach Method
Founded by Emahlea Wilcher, MPH, RD, LD
I created The New Approach Method after years of working with people whose mind and body felt disconnected from one another. Dismissed by doctors and exhausted by wellness culture, they tried dozens of programs and saw no end in sight. My training as a Registered Dietitian and epidemiologist helps me connect the dots that other clinicians might miss. From this, I developed the New Approach Method to guide patients in holistic evidence-based and trauma-informed practices to heal from burnout, restore, and reconnect.
This isn't about optimizing harder or forcing yourself to be "better." It's about learning to notice, regulate, and reclaim. To differentiate your internal cries the same way a mother knows whether her baby needs sleep, comfort, or food.
Notice what your body is actually saying, not what you think it should be saying.
Regulate through curiosity, understanding, and acceptance—not force.
Reclaim by systematically eliminating what feels constrictive and making space for what makes you feel expansive.
We don't help you manage stress better. We teach you to come home to your body.
