Are you tired of starting over every Monday?

Mondays often mean "get back on track," but what does that really mean? Often, it implies returning to restrictive diets or meal plans that don't address the root issues of our relationship with food.

Here's why this mentality doesn't work:

- Restrictive and Unrealistic: Diets and strict meal plans can lead to feelings of deprivation, guilt, and frustration. They don't teach sustainable eating habits or help you understand your body's needs.
- Misses Emotional Eating: They don't address why you eat, just what you eat. Emotional triggers and non-hunger eating are left unexplored.
- Focuses on External Validation: Success is often measured by weight or appearance, not overall well-being.

So, what can you do instead?

- Embrace Intuitive Eating: Focus on listening to your body's hunger and fullness cues, and honor your emotional needs without judgment.
- Practice Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself when you slip up - remember, it's a journey, not a destination.
- Let Go of Diet Culture: Break free from the cycle of restriction and guilt. All foods can be part of a balanced life without moral labels.

Let's celebrate a journey of self-discovery and nourishment, not restriction.

DM me 'BENEFITS' and our team will check to see if your insurance covers nutrition counseling sessions as part of our intuitive eating program so you can stop starting over

✨ Weight is NOT a behavior. ✨

When someone treats weight like a behavior, life often looks like this:
⚡ Obsessing over the scale every morning
⚡ Yo-yo dieting, cutting carbs, or chasing the next “fix”
⚡ Missing out on happy hour because of food rules
⚡ Exercising out of guilt instead of joy

But when you shift focus to the practices and habits that truly support health, life starts to look like this:
💗 Eating balanced meals that give you energy
💗 Moving your body in ways you enjoy (not dread)
💗 Actually having brain space back for work, family, and fun
💗 Feeling more consistent, confident, and calm around food

The number on the scale? That becomes just data - not your entire identity.

💡 Real health happens when you focus on behaviors you can control, not chasing a number you can’t.

One of the best parts of private practice?

THE CLIENTS!

Feeling so fortunate to receive messages like this regularly. I work with some of the most amazing humans and feel truly blessed to be a part of their food + fitness journey! and the fact that they take time out of their day to share their experience with others makes my heart burst.

If you're ready for results that *actually* last - send me a dm or click the link in my bio to learn more.

ps - 95% of our clients get unlimited nutrition counseling sessions covered by their insurance!

Trust yourself and trust the process.

Making peace with food means that you allow ALL foods into your eating pattern. What this does is this will make a choice like a 🍪 feel emotionally equal to an 🍎.

While many health care professionals will tell you there should be no forbidden foods, very few will actually go so far as to say you should eat whatever you want because eventually they are imposing a limit.

Knowing that there is a limit or some sort of ‘conditions’ attached can still lead to those feelings of deprivation and that you better eat it now!

So what does unconditional permission to eat really look like?

–Throwing out the idea of “good” vs “bad” foods. No ONE food has the power to make you healthy or not.
–Eating what you really want... Yes, read that again.
–Eating without penance or bargaining - no saying things like ok ice cream just this once, but tomorrow I HAVE to go to the gym.

If you’ve been trapped following rigid food rules and have no idea how to function without your tracker or strict meal plan, start with my meal planning template to give you structure without the stress (link in bio)

Tracking every bite didn’t bring you peace… so why are you still doing it?

You can’t out-macro your fear of food.

I get it. You want to trust your body - but the second you stop tracking, the anxiety creeps in.
👉 “What if I eat too much?”
👉 “What if I lose control?”
👉 “What if I undo all my progress?”

So you keep tracking.
Even though it’s exhausting.
Even though it’s not actually working.

If this is you, know this: feeling stuck doesn’t mean you’re failing. It means you’re ready for something different.

Start by shifting from tracking your meals to planning them - with more flexibility and less fear. My free Meal Planning Template was made for you!

Surprised?

As a personal trainer and dietitian, people often assume my workout routine is some elaborate, intense masterpiece.

Truth is…it’s not.

✅ 3 days a week of intentional lifting - pre programmed and purposeful
✅ Everything else is bonus.
✅ If I’m tired, I sleep.
✅ If I crave movement, I add some gentle cardio.
✅ If I crave fun, I switch it up or try something new.

I’m all about efficient exercise - quality over quantity.

When I’m lifting:
🔹 No guesswork.
🔹 Phone on airplane mode.
🔹 Fully unplugged (which, let’s be honest, is hard!).

Movement should enhance your life, not run it!

'food freedom' can feel fluffy but what does it actually mean?? and how can it change your life? (4 real tho)

Food Freedom IS:
→ Honoring hunger, fullness, and satisfaction without guilt
→ Choosing foods that support both physical health and mental peace
→ Trusting your body’s cues instead of following rigid external rules
→ Seeing all foods as morally neutral - no “good” or “bad” labels

Food Freedom is NOT:
→ Eating everything in sight with no awareness of how your body feels
→ Ignoring your health or well-being
→ Constantly labeling foods as “bad,” “clean,” or “cheat meals”
→ Just about weight loss or how your body looks

Here’s what food freedom looks like in real life:
✨ Enjoying pizza night without planning a detox tomorrow
✨ Choosing a salad because it sounds good - not because you “should”
✨ Grabbing ice cream with your kids on a whim - and savoring every bite
✨ Feeling calm, not chaotic, around snacks in the pantry

This freedom doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a process of rewiring beliefs, learning to trust your body, and letting go of the all-or-nothing mindset.

💡 That’s exactly what we work on inside my Reboot Bootcamp (RBBC) - helping humans break free from diet rules, reconnect with their bodies, and finally feel confident around food again.

Because food freedom isn’t just about food, it’s about living your life fully.
