Let me give it to you straight up: you don't need more food rules or another "clean eating" plan to feel comfortable in your skin.
In fact, these tactics often do more harm than good. Whether you're struggling with an eating disorder, emotional eating, binge eating, chronic dieting, a preoccupation with healthy eating, or feelings of food addiction, I know just how tired you are of the intense highs and lows of disordered eating. Sneaking food and eating in secret? You're done with that, too.
You need a sustainable way of eating that you can maintain over the long term. Even though eating problems live in the body, standard approaches usually leave the body out. Blending dynamic therapeutic techniques (Somatic Experiencing, ACT, parts work) with evidence-based, Intuitive Eating-informed nutrition counselling and deep body image work, I specialize in helping women and gender expansive folks find lasting peace from food noise and body image struggles.
My style has been described as warm, compassionate, empathetic, and sassy (what can I say; sweet and salty is where it's at). Let's work toward something a diet can never give you — an easy relationship with food.
It is possible to trust yourself with food.
why hello there.
I'm an anti-diet nutritionist (RHN, CCNP), Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor, and Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner in private practice since 2014. I've completed multiple body image and eating disorder trainings, 200+ personal therapy hours, and 200+ hours of professional supervision. My orientation is anti-oppressive, weight-inclusive, and collaborative, and I use a combination of therapy models and approaches in my practice to help you to have an easy relationship with food. I'm also an approved NEDIC service provider.
I also struggled with disordered eating (including binge eating), negative body image, and over-exercise for 15 years. I understand first-hand what it's like to hate your body and obsess over food. I knew I needed a more embodied approach to fully make peace with food and my body...which brought me to trauma-informed nutrition work.
