“I want to eat healthy and feel good – but what does healthy eating really look like and will it help me feel better?“

There is no shortage of diet advice out there, at times with conflicting or seemingly ever changing messages. How you found yourself wondering what to do with all of this?

• “Should I go vegan or maybe gluten free?”
• “I should be on the Paleo diet, no wait, the Mediterranean diet, no wait…”
• “What about superfoods, are there 5 foods I should be eating every day?”
• “Clean eating, that’s the answer, isn’t it?”

It can be a hard world to navigate. I’m here to help!

In our sessions we can sort through all the hype and help you to feel confident in your food choices and help you better understand the connections between food and health.

And if you have a specific medical condition, I can help with that too. 

Nutrition can play a role in the management of many medical conditions:

• irritable bowel syndrome
• GERD/reflux
• diarrhea/constipation
• multiple food sensitivities
• high blood pressure
• high cholesterol
• diabetes
• anemia
• and many others

With a referral from your doctor, we can work together to use nutrition in the management of your condition.

“I know that bodies come in all sizes and I want to talk about food and health without being told all I need to do is lose weight.“

Maybe you’ve had an interaction like this ⤵️

• You: I’m concerned about (xyz)
• Healthcare provider: You just need to lose weight!
• You: But no, I’m experiencing (xyz)
• Healthcare provider: Yeah, just lose weight.

Lose weight, sure, just add it to the to-do list, right?

Being brushed off and judged for your body like this can be so hurtful and unhelpful. Also, weight loss is not the simple fix that it has been made out to be, which is why I have chosen to make my sessions a weight neutral space. This approach frees us up to put the scale aside and talk about your nutrition concerns and your priorities for improving your health and wellbeing.

“I keep trying the latest diet – but they don’t leave me feeling any better, and I keep feeling like somehow I failed.“

The truth is that diet’s don’t produce long term weight loss for the vast majority of people who do them! Diets do tend to lead to weight cycling (which is really bad for your health!) and a sense of failure when the diets don’t produce the hoped for result. 

As we work together in a weight neutral space, we can put the scale aside and use the principles of intuitive eating and mindfulness to help break you free from the dieting mentality. Your body deserves to be nourished and food and movement are not just tools for weight loss.

“What kind of impact are my food choices having on the environment?“

The problem of climate change is so large and all encompassing, it can feel quite overwhelming. Individual actions alone aren’t enough to solve the vast array of problems we’ve ended up with – it’s going to take some large systemic changes. However, there are some steps we can take at an individual level and – the more of us that take them the greater impact we can have.

Together we can work together to enhance your understanding of the links between our food systems, our food choices, and the environment. We will also identify tangible steps you can take to make a difference.
