My Story
|
After 20 years of dieting, I discovered Intuitive Eating (IE). I had hit diet bottom, and knew that this was the approach to nutrition and wellness that I was searching for. I began my IE journey in July of 2017. I am not a doctor, therapist, or dietitian. Nor am I qualified to work with an individual with an active eating disorder. I have a B.A. and M.A. in Human Development, and I am a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. I am currently in training to become a Body Trust Provider through Be Nourished. I had the honor and privilege of completing a course taught by Evelyn Tribole (co-author of Intuitive Eating and the Intuitive Eating Workbook), as well as supervision with Evelyn Tribole.

My Approach
I teach the principles and stages of IE from a Health At Every Size (HAES) approach, as well as work with individuals or groups on the IE workbook exercises. I incorporate content and research from many books, professional journal articles, IE podcasts, blogs, etc.
It's important to know that Intuitive Eating is not a weight loss program. It's about learning how to identify and honor your hunger and fullness signals, learning how to trust and respect your body, and focusing on self-care.
You may be wondering why someone would take this risk? What are the benefits? Experiencing satisfaction and peace with food, life, and your body is priceless. I don't know about you, but dieting never allowed me to experience any of these things - especially long-term.

My Program
I will help you to develop a healthier relationship with food and your body.
We will discuss what it's like to live in diet culture.
I will support you as you choose to respect your body, in a world where we are told that we should change our bodies.
