About

My training and background allow me to work with each client to develop a personalized health plan. Each plan is based on principals of trust, permission, and 'do no harm.'

Each of us has unique nutritional needs, health concerns/issues, histories, and experiences. We all have different intentions around what it means to be 'healthy.'

It is well established that 'diet's do not work,' so I will work with you to either recover from diet trauma, and/or, teach you the essentials of the non-diet approach.

The non-diet approach allows you to reconnect to your body's internal wisdom which will liberate you from food and weight obsession. You can learn to let go of the rigidity or external means to control your weight.

Diets are out,

trusting your body is in!

This approach is also known as, "intuitive eating," and utilizes the principals of mindfulness. Mindful eating is a practice that will allow you to achieve a more grounded and less chaotic style of eating that will bring you more enjoyment and balance to your overall relationship with food. You will learn how to calm yourself down before, during, and after eating so that you can tune in to your body's messages.

Good nutrition can be somewhat confusing these days with so many conflicting media stories and trendy diets that give mixed messages about what, when and how to eat.

We will explore scientifically sound theories of nutrition, metabolism, and dieting. We will dispel the myths and misunderstandings that may contribute to disease and other nutrition related issues.

Nutrition therapy is a process that allows you to discover how having an issue with food and body is actually a gift in disguise. Ultimately, you will find ways to feed yourself in non-food related ways that brings lasting change, health and happiness.
