Background
As someone who has struggled myself, I know that nutrition is so much more than just "fuel". Health & wellbeing cannot and should not be quantified by a number on the scale. In my counseling sessions I aim to help people connect eating, movement and self-care with joy, flexibility and freedom using an individualized health at every size (HAES) and anti-diet culture approach. I aim to provide a safe space to get in touch with your needs and help you learn to nourish yourself without guilt and shame. No matter what size body you have, you deserve to eat and to enjoy it. You deserve respectful health care and support to help you find your way to pleasurable, tasty and satisfying meals!
Micro-managing bodies and turning food into a math problem has taken the joy out of eating and replaced it with guilt, fear and shame - a cycle that can keep you stuck for years. Whether you have a chronic condition, hate cooking, have dieted in the past, are dieting now, or have been told so much conflicting nutrition information you feel like your head is spinning, you are not alone! I am here to help. We all deserve a positive and healthy relationship to food.
