Mental health information and encouragement for recovery from eating and body image issues.

Counseling and coaching helps each of us practice self-discovery which leads to self-acceptance and compassion for ourselves. When we accept "what is" we are able to make the changes we want for our lives. The benefits of Counseling or Coaching include:
-Personal Insight
-Self-Exploration
-Problem Solving
-Recovery Support
-Spiritual Development
-Emotional Skills & Growth
-Relationship Awareness & Skills
-Work-life balance
-Communication skills
-Flexibility and freedom from perfectionism & people pleasing
-Assertiveness
-Lifestyle changes
-Motivation
-Values-driven action
-Mindfulness

People come to counseling and coaching for many reasons but some of the issues that my clients have addressed with me include:
-Eating Disorders, emotional eating and disordered eating
-Mindful Eating & Intuitive Eating
-Weight management
-Over-exercise, exercise addiction, and exercise aversion
-Anxiety related eating concerns, e.g. OCD, rigid eating, rule-based eating, fear of food
-Relationship difficulties
-Career choices, transitions and struggles
-Life transitions, loss or grief
-Parenting - especially related to food behaviors and the family food system
-Spiritual exploration and/or spiritual struggles

Just a few gentle reminders in case you need them today

Nothing to fix. Nothing to prove.

Take what resonates, leave the rest, and come back to this on the harder days.

01/09/2026

Mental health in 2026 isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing what actually helps.

Less avoidance. More intention. Therapy isn’t a last resort, it’s part of how we take care of ourselves.

Which 'In' are you bringing into 2026?

01/05/2026

Before the reframe, our thoughts often sound harsh and absolute.

After the reframe, there’s room for compassion and flexibility.
Small shifts in language can change how we relate to ourselves - especially on hard days.

You don’t have to believe the new thought right away. Just be willing to try it on.
