Can you relate?

  • $You’ve spent years trying to change your body with various diets, pills, plans, and procedures. But nothing has really worked (long term).
  • $You spend much of your day obsessing about what you ate (or didn’t eat) or what your body looks like or should look like.
  • $You can’t keep certain foods in your house because you don’t trust yourself enough.
  • $You know you eat for emotional reasons but still aren’t sure what else to do instead.
  • $You know deep down that “diets don’t work” but you aren’t sure what else to do.

You are not alone in this struggle. We get it.

We live in an incredibly toxic and oppressive culture when it comes to food, bodies, health, fitness, beauty, etc. Oppressive systems by nature are set up to profit off our collective shame (hello 80 Billion dollar diet industry!) Diet culture is an oppressive system that profits off your (our) collective shame. This is radical work in a world that is constantly telling you something is “wrong” with your body.

As a recovered chronic dieter myself, I get it! (you can read my story how Weight Watchers nearly fired me here link. I know how hard it is to “let go” of dieting in our weight obsessed world.

Here’s how it works

Healing from body image and food struggles is deep, brave and oftentimes scary work.

It takes time to divest from diet culture conditioning where the roots of shame and pain are deeply embedded.

We’re here to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs about food and your body with curiosity and compassion.

Your story is unique and we honor your own readiness and will start where you are now.

Our sessions come from a compassionate centered trauma informed orientation to allow healing to happen at a pace that feels safe.

All recommendations are individualized and combine different modalities of healing including, self-compassion, somatic based practices to heal the nervous system, decoding exercises to uncover deeper unmet needs that keep you stuck in “unwanted” behaviors.

Our work is a lot about “unlearning” as it is about learning new ways of relating to your body and your relationship to food.

You’ll receive ongoing support through personalized tools, worksheets, practices, and reflection questions tailored to your unique needs and goals (journal prompts).

We practice through a weight-inclusive lens with the goal of body liberation for all people. Our approach is rooted in anti-oppression, equity, intersectional feminism, and radical inclusion of all bodies, races, gender identities, and sexual orientations.

The path to healing and liberation starts here.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Intuitive Eating?
Answer: Intuitive eating is a non-diet approach to wellness that helps you break free from dieting, restore trust with your body, and reconnect with your internal cues of hunger and fullness.. It’s not about following a set of food rules—it’s about listening to your body’s cues and making choices that support your well-being. Intuitive eating however, is not just the “hunger-fullness diet,” there are many layers to explore. In fact, there are ten different principles of intuitive eating.
I’ve tried every diet and I’m skeptical that this will work for me!
Answer: I get it! It can be scary to think about letting go of dieting when that is all you know. The truth is, Intuitive eating is NOT a diet. Diets don’t work. 90-95% of diets fail, yet you are often blamed – not the diet. In reality, it’s the process of dieting that is the problem.
Intuitive eating is different. It helps you break free from the cycle of dieting and learn how to make peace with all foods (and movement) so you can live your life on your terms and finally feel at peace.
What if I want to lose weight? Can I still work with you?
Answer: Yes! Of course you still want to lose weight. I would say that 90% of my clients want to lose weight. This is normal and to be expected living in our current diet and weight obsessed culture. And, while you are likely not happy in your body now and would like to lose weight, weight loss will not be the main focus or goal of our sessions. Body loathing is what actually drives disordered eating/eating disorder behaviors.
We will talk about your desire to change your weight and your feelings about your body. We will be moving away from using changes in weight as a marker of “success.”
How long will this process take?
Answer: Recovery from an eating disorder takes time and varies depending on each person’s unique history and access to treatment. As a dietitian who has been working specifically with eating disorders for over 19 years, I have found that it typically takes my clients at least 3 to 6 months of meeting with a dietitian (as well as therapist) to really notice behavior shifts. It can take longer to dismantle deeply entrenched belief systems around food and bodies. The work with the dietitian is typically shorter term, whereas your therapist is often a longer term relationship. Our program is 4 months which is about how long it takes to feel relief and to notice internal shifts.
I am a busy Mom or I travel a lot. How will I find time to do this?
Answer: Life is moving fast these days (I get it as a busy Mom myself!). There will never be The perfect time when everything suddenly becomes easier to do this work. We often get trapped in this kind of thinking a lot- it’s the “ all-or-nothing” mindset—if we can’t do something perfectly, we don’t do it at all.
The good news is that intuitive eating isn’t about perfection- that’s what is so liberating about this process! Through our work together, you’ll learn how to make lasting changes that fit into your real, busy life. We show up for our families and loved ones—so why not show up for ourselves too?
Do you accept insurance?

Answer: Our practice is out-of-network with insurance providers and payment is due prior to your appointment.
If you have out-of-network insurance benefits, these may apply to nutrition services.
We can provide you with a Superbill receipt that you can submit to your insurance company. Depending on your benefits, you may be able to receive full or partial reimbursement for your nutrition counseling sessions.
These benefits vary considerably between insurance companies and plans. However, many of our clients with out-of-network benefits have had success in receiving partial or full reimbursement. Others have had the cost of nutrition counseling applied towards their deductible, helping them to reduce medical spending across the course of the year.
We recommend calling your insurance company to ask about your specific coverage. They can inform you of whether you will receive any reimbursement for our services, or whether the cost can be applied towards any deductible.

Why not go to a local dietitian who takes my insurance?
Answer: I used to work with insurance. Insurance only typically covers between 1-3 sessions, and you only get 30 minute follow ups with an insurance dietitian. This is hardly enough time to really go deeper and heal these deeply entrenched belief systems. My sessions are longer than 30 minutes, and you get unlimited access to me in between sessions via text and my online portal. You don’t need to wait in between sessions to ask me a question or if you just need a quick support check in, I’m here for that. I know how hard it is to let go of these behaviors and change your mindset, which is why you will be getting more support in my program compared to other providers that work within the limitations of our current insurance system.
I don’t live in California. Can we still work together?
Answer: Yes, we see folks all over the world from the comfort of your own home or office. If you live in Napa, California, you can see me in person.
How do I get started?
Answer: Schedule a free discovery call to chat with me and figure out if we’re a good fit to work together.
