I’m really a food and body image coach. I help women like you heal their relationship with food and find health without obsession.......
.....but it wasn't always this way.
I did what we were all taught in school. I went to school to train people to "get healthier", yet I wasn't taught about weight bias.
I created meal plans, and ebooks on how to detox, but most of all, I used a scale in my practice.
So why am I sharing this with you now?
I now know that discriminating someone for their weight is so much more harmful than eating a french fry.
I had all the knowledge of macronutrients, micronutrients, and how they are metabolized in the body.....
What I did not know, was how to relate to my clients and what they were going through.
So I asked myself, "how can I help these women step away from the scale and negative body talk and understand their true value and worth?"
After reading a book called Intuitive Eating, I began to research its principles, and I began to realize that all the years I had been giving my clients meal prep plans or my reset books, I had been leading my clients down the wrong path!
Honestly, there was a time when I felt ready to leave my profession altogether. I felt really disconnected about what I was "supposed" to be teaching and promoting. I realized how weight-centric my profession was. I no longer wanted to create bikini body workouts, weight loss, or green smoothie detoxes. All of the counting, calorie-restricting, and cutting out foods just felt really out of alignment with my values.
I was a victim of diet culture! I have been manipulated by diets.
I realized the “traditional” approach did not work for clients long term. My clients just weren't able to hang on to those unrealistic "lifestyle changes".
So I asked myself, "how can I help my clients trust their body to signal when they were hungry and what they should eat?"
When I began practicing using a weight-inclusive model with my clients, they finally began to heal their relationship with food and their bodies, find the food freedom they had always been looking for, and create positive habits from a place of
self-care.....
....not control.
Now I am really proud of the work I do with women and I feel really grateful and honored to work with each and every one of you that come into my programs.
It is my mission to help you break free from your limiting beliefs that are holding you back from everything you were created for!
