Intuitive Eating Coaching
Is it time to heal your relationship with your body and rediscover pleasure with food (and life) again?
What is Intuitive Eating Coaching?
Intuitive eating coaching is a process to help you break free from the diet-binge-guilt cycle so you can free up your precious time and energy for other things.
Together we work to expand your self-awareness, reconnect with your body’s inner wisdom, and reclaim your birthright to trust your body again.
Through this process, you will find yourself feeling more comfortable and confident in your body – no matter what your size. Together, we let go of dieting, challenge limiting beliefs and break free from the diet-binge-guilt cycle.
You reclaim your sovereignty back from diet culture.
You reclaim your life back.
Are you ready to break free from the struggle?
Can you relate?
Do you want to know WHY you are doing what you are doing with food?
Are you tired of hating your body and struggling with your weight?
Do you wish you could get off the diet-binge-guilt cycle of eating?
Do you wish you could just eat ‘normally’ but don’t trust yourself.
Are tired of thinking about what you should eat instead of what you really want to eat.
You spend much of your day obsessing about what you ate (or didn’t eat) or what your body looks like/should look like.
You’ve spent years trying to “fix” your body with various diets/plans/pills/procedures.
You are “all-or-nothing”- you are either “on” or “off” the diet; there’s no middle way.
You’ve hit “diet bottom” – you know deep down that diets don’t work anymore.
When did you first learn that your body was the problem?
Here’s the truth: YOUR BODY IS NOT THE PROBLEM.
The problem is not you – the problem is with our oppressive culture. A culture that lies to us, keeps us trapped in a cage that brainwashes us to beleive we must shrink our bodies and our lives to fit a standard of beauty. The lies we’ve been fed are that when we get the “perfect” body then we will be accepted, loved, healthy, etc.
I know it really feels like the body is the problem. I understand this as a recovered chronic dieter myself, I was convinced if my body were smaller, my life would be better, I would have more love, acceptance, all the things!
I’m here to tell you that it is possible to get to a place where you can eat what you want, feel free around food, and feel good in your body.
IMAGINE A LIFE WHERE YOU:
RESTORE TRUST WITH YOUR BODY
Learn tools and practices to reconnect you to your body’s physical hungers. Know the difference between your physical hungers AND your emotional hungers. Gain clarity and confidence around how much and when to eat.
REEXAMINE DIETING
We will take a serious look at obstacles that are undermining your body trust. I will give your tools and exercises to reveal how your thoughts, beliefs and rules continue to sabotage your best intentions.
MAKE PEACE WITH FOOD
It’s time to call a truce on fighting food! Forbidding yourself specific foods leads to a paradoxical rebound effect that triggers overeating. I will help you end the overeating cycle for good.
BEFRIEND YOUR INNER CRITIC
You will learn and practice strategies to loosen the grip of the internal critic aka Food Police, and gain access to your wise compassionate self. You will move from a place of curiosity instead of judgment, and this will allow you to feel lighter, freer and happier.
JOYFUL MOVEMENT
Let’s examine your relationship to exercise- whether that is over or under exercising. Leading with internal motivators, such as pleasure aka feels good, instead of punishment or neglect.
MINDFUL EATING 101
I will teach you the basic skills of mindful eating so you can break out of the mindless overeating cycle. You will be able to identify when you are physically full and how to stop eating at your comfort zone.
DISCOVER SATISFACTION WITH EATING
Reclaim your birthright to eat and enjoy all foods with pleasure and satisfaction instead of feeling guilt or worrying about weight gain. A truly liberating concept that will revolutionize your relationship to everything- not just food!
MANAGE EMOTIONAL EATING
WEIGHT NEUTRAL APPROACH
GENTLE NUTRITION
Throughout the process of intuitive eating you will experience:
-
TRUST ~ Befriend your body at a deep level. You turn inward to your body’s cues for what, when, and how much to eat (as well as movement too).
-
FREEDOM ~ To eat ALL foods without guilt and obsession, anywhere, anytime, because fear and scarcity no longer run the show!
-
CONFIDENCE ~ You go to the beach and wear whatever bathing suit you want without avoiding photos and without fear of a body shame spiral.
-
PEACE~ You will feel a sense of ease and being “in control” around food. You keep ALL your favorite foods at home without guilt, obsession and fear of overeating on them.
-
JOY ~ Eating is fun and enjoyable again as it was when you were a child. You wake up in the morning without obsessing about what to eat or not eat. Thinking about food takes up a lot less time.
-
FREEDOM ~ Your inner critic has taken a time-out and your healthy Self is stronger and louder.
-
POWER ~ You have your life back and have freed up your precious time and energy for other things. You define health and success on your own terms, based on your values rather than society’s unrealistic (and oppressive) expectations.
-
WISDOM ~ You no longer are putting your life on hold until your body changes (shrinks). You decide to learn a new sport/hobby, join a social club, go back to school, get a new partner, the list is endless!
I am sure this all sounds too good to be true! I know I felt like that when I was first beginning my intuitive eating journey. Read my story here.
If you think about how long you have been struggling with food and your body image, please be know that healing from your struggles with food and weight will not happen overnight. This is a process that takes time to heal and unravel from. I have walked this path and will serve as a beacon of hope for your recovery. Recovery and transformation is possible.

As your intuitive eating coach and anti-diet dietitian, I am here to provide a safe, non-judgemental, supportive space for you to get curious about your relationship to food and your body.
My approach is rooted in anti-oppression, equity, intersectional feminism, and inclusion of all bodies, races, gender identities, gender expressions, and sexual orientations. I practice through a weight-inclusive lens with the goal of body liberation for all people.
In addition to being trauma informed, my other healing modalities include: Intuitive Eating, Reclaiming Body Trust, Health at Every Size (HAES), nutrition, and psychological therapies such as ACT, CBT, and IFS.
Throughout the program we will use mindfulness, self-compassion, and self-care practices as the foundation for growth.
We will redefine what “healthy” means as well take all aspects of your life into consideration everything from mindset, to learning new coping skills, stress management, food/nutrition, movement, sleep habits, boundary setting, communication skills and more.
