I’m writing the first guidebook focused entirely on adults with ARFID—and lived experience belongs at the center.

If you’re an adult (18+) with diagnosed or suspected ARFID and want to share your experience, I’ve created an optional, unpaid survey linked in my bio. Anonymous or attributed.

Thank you in advance for your time and for sharing what feels safe for you.💜💜

Relational safety matters — especially with ARFID.

Many with ARFID can eat more easily with certain people and not at all with others. This isn’t about motivation or willpower. It’s about safety.

When someone feels believed, supported, and free from pressure, the nervous system is more likely to stay regulated — and eating becomes more possible.

Force, shame, or “just try it” don’t build trust. They build fear.

Support that helps ARFID centers safety, choice, and respect.

✨ If you want to learn more about building safety around food — including relational, sensory, and nervous system support — my ARFID Workbook is linked in my bio.

ARFID doesn’t look one way.

Two people can both have ARFID and need very different support.

That’s why management isn’t about one “right” plan — it’s about understanding safety, sensory needs, nervous system support, and access, then building strategies that actually fit the individual.

✨ Support should be flexible.
✨ Progress looks different for everyone.

If a food that once felt “safe” suddenly isn’t anymore — you’re not doing anything wrong.
This is often called a food jag, and it’s a very common ARFID experience.

Safe foods can change with stress, sensory shifts, illness, or nervous system overload.
That doesn’t mean you failed — it means your body is communicating.

A few gentle ways to navigate it:
• Drop the pressure to replace it right away
• Lean into other accessible foods
• Remember: eating something > eating a specific food
• Let foods come and go — safety isn’t static

Food jags aren’t regression. They’re information.

Eating can feel scary when your brain and body don’t sense safety—you aren’t alone. 🧠💜

This isn’t about being “difficult” — it’s your nervous system protecting you. The first step? Building felt safety and reconnecting with your body.

Grab practical strategies in the ARFID Workbook (link in bio!) to support your nervous system and discover what works for you.

I love helping clients think through and plan how to navigate holiday gatherings in ways that feel safe, supportive, and enjoyable.

One of my favorite parts of this work is seeing clients advocate for their needs instead of trying to squeeze themselves into neuronormative expectations around holiday eating.

Here are some ways my clients have advocated for and met their needs to create more ease during the holidays 💜..

Thanksgiving doesn’t have to look the same for everyone. 🍂 For those with ARFID, skipping traditional foods or creating your own holiday rituals is completely okay. Your traditions, your comfort, your celebration.

Hope you have a nice holiday whatever that looks like for you 💜💚

Running out of safe foods can feel overwhelming with ARFID. 🥺

Some with ARFID may experience something called a scarcity mindset—panic, rationing, or avoiding new foods can show up.

If this is something you experience, you are not alone. 💙

💡 Tips: small backups 🛒, adjacent safe foods 🌱, regulation tools 🧘
