Stop Dieting. Start Understanding Your Eating.

​

If you're tired of dieting, emotional eating, or feeling stuck in the cycle of losing weight and gaining it back, you're not alone. Most people don't need another meal plan. They need a better understanding of what drives their eating habits.

​

I'm Tanya Fasnacht Jolliffe, RDN, LD, CIMHP, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Licensed Dietitian, Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional, author, and behavior change specialist with more than 30 years of experience helping people create lasting health improvements. 

​

My approach goes beyond calories, carbs, and food rules. Together, we'll explore the habits, emotions, stressors, beliefs, and life experiences that influence your relationship with food so you can create sustainable change that actually fits your life.

​

Because lasting health isn't built through willpower.

​

It's built through awareness, understanding, and consistent habits.

​

My Philosophy

​

Over the years, I've learned that the biggest obstacle to better health usually isn't a lack of nutrition knowledge.

​

Most people already know what they should be doing.

​

The challenge is figuring out how to follow through when life gets stressful, overwhelming, emotional, or busy.

​

That's where I come in.

​

Rather than focusing on perfection, I help my clients understand the "why" behind their behaviors and develop realistic strategies that support long-term success. My goal isn't to put you on another diet. My goal is to help you build a healthier, more confident relationship with food and with yourself. 

​

What Makes My Approach Different

​

As a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional, I understand that food is often about much more than physical hunger.

​

Food can be comfort.

​

Food can be stress relief.

​

Food can be a coping strategy.

​

Instead of judging those behaviors, we'll work together to understand them. Once we identify what's driving the pattern, we can create healthier ways to meet those needs without relying on guilt, shame, or restriction.

​

Clients often tell me they feel truly heard, supported, and understood. They appreciate having a partner who provides both compassion and accountability while helping them make changes that feel realistic and sustainable.

My Background

​

My career has included clinical nutrition, health coaching, workplace wellness, speaking, writing, and behavior change education. I've worked with individuals managing complex medical conditions, coached people through meaningful lifestyle changes, and helped organizations improve employee well-being. 

​

I'm also the author of Food Isn't the Problem and The Mindful Me Journey, books that reflect the same philosophy I bring to my counseling sessions: lasting change comes from understanding yourself, not fighting yourself.

​

As a former Hall of Fame athlete, I understand the importance of fueling the body for health, performance, recovery, and longevity.

​

Let's Work Together

​

If you're looking for a quick fix, I'm probably not the right fit.

​

But if you're ready to stop starting over, break free from the dieting cycle, understand your eating patterns, improve your health, and build habits that last, I'd be honored to help.

​

Together, we'll create a personalized approach that aligns with your goals, lifestyle, and values so you can feel better, gain confidence, and achieve results that are sustainable for the long term.
