You do not have to spend your life hating your body.

You do not have to spend your time, money, and energy in the constant pursuit of weight loss and beauty “fixes”.

You deserve peace in your body.

This is possible for you.

I’ve seen even the most skeptical clients go from despising their bodies to feeling genuine confidence and comfort in their skin.

If this is something you want, I’d love to help you get there.

Comment “peace” and I’ll reach out 🤍

You are still good.

Your body will be ok.

You need and deserve to eat consistently & adequately today.

Welp, for my birthday this year, the universe gifted me with a newfound grey hair on my head 🤪

Ah well. If it means I get to spend more time with the sweet people I love, I’m cool with it 😎

Happy V Day 💘

Weight maintenance should not be a full-time job.

If you’re constantly worrying about your body and fearing weight gain, that’s a sign that your mental health could use support.

If you’re always thinking about what you’re eating and not eating, that’s a sign that your relationship with food would benefit from healing.

A healthy relationship with your body is rooted in peace.

A healthy relationship with food is free from anxiety.

You have so much to offer this world.

Being consumed by food and body shame, guilt, and stress is so not worth it.

You deserve better.

You are worthy of your own love 💘

You are probably too hard on yourself.

Most of my clients are.

So I guide them to create a kinder, more loving internal dialogue.

In time, their mood shifts. Their self- esteem improves. Their life is better because they’ve befriended themselves at last.

They’ve made peace.

This is possible for you, too.

You deserve it ❤️

Are you sick of stressing over food? 😩

Tired of monitoring every single thing you eat, and judging yourself for eating good or bad? 😔

Exhausted by trying to eat clean, just to lose a little bit of weight but eventually gain it all back? 😢

This is no way to live. 🙅‍♀️

What would it be like to free your mind of constant worry around food and your body? 😮

What would you do differently if you felt free around food and confident in your body? 💃🏻

You can have that. 🫶🏻

You deserve that. 💯

I’d love to support you in getting there. 🤝

Do you find it hard to stop at just one Girl Scout cookie?

It’s understandable.

They only come around once a year, so there’s inherent scarcity around them, making it urgent that you get them all in while you can!

But what if you could be calm around Girl Scout cookies, and all cookies?

What if you could feel in control around all foods, all year round?

This is possible for you, and I’d love to help you get there.

I help women establish balance & peace around food and eat in a way that is sustainable, enjoyable, and energizing.

The clients who come to me thinking they aren’t taking good care of themselves because they’ve fallen off their diet again & don’t exercise regularly are the very same clients who are showering daily, going to therapy, volunteering, spending time with their families, pursuing growth & learning, getting a yearly physical, watching shows they love, journaling, reading books, cuddling with their pets, engaging in hobbies, and doing other things that count as wellness and align with their values.

Diet and exercise are just two small pieces of the wellness pie.

How does it feel to read this?

My hope is that it gives you permission to release some of the pressure you put on yourself to do things the way diet culture says you need to do them.

You are allowed to write your own definition of self-care, and craft your own definition of health & wellness, so that however you choose to spend your time, it feels fulfilling and worthwhile.

Thoughts? 👇🏼

When you stop tracking, weighing, measuring, and counting everything you eat, the second part of your life begins.

What are you missing out on by having a stressful relationship with food & your body?

Maybe you’re missing out on family meals and pleasurable eating experiences because you have to stick to your diet or weight loss meal plan.

Maybe you’re declining drinks with friends because it doesn’t fit into MyFitnessPal.

Maybe you’re saying no to dates and vacations because you’re not confident in your body or you’re worried about the food situation.

You deserve so much better. Such a richer, fuller life awaits you on the other side of diet culture.

And no, it’s not because “it only works if you work it”.

If you keep falling off various lifestyle changes or weight loss plans, it’s not because you’re a failure and lack discipline.

It’s because the programs are unsustainable by design.

Our bodies & brains fight back until we can’t take it anymore and we’re eating off plan or bingeing.

This isn’t because you’re weak, it’s because you’re human.

If you’re craving something long-lasting, if you want to be able to hop off this maddening roller coaster to finally establish peace with food and your body, click the link in my bio to apply for coaching!

I have to call this one like I see it. Noom is a predatory liar.

Noom claims to address the psychology of eating, positing that the reason you haven’t been able to lose the weight and keep it off and the reason you haven’t been able to gain control over your relationship with food is because of your psychology.

What they’re not acknowledging is that any diet- including the one they put you on at noom- will make you feel crazy around food, will CAUSE loss- of- control eating, and will CAUSE long-term weight gain.

If you haven’t been able to lose the weight and keep it off or if you feel out of control around food, this is not your fault.

While companies like Noom try to gaslight the consumer and make you believe the problem is YOU and they’ll help you fix YOU, the truth is the problem is them.

They make you feel like your body is a problem to be fixed, then provide a “solution” that only exacerbates the problem, then make you feel like it’s all your fault if it doesn’t work for you.

Let 2024 be the year you opt out of this madness.

You deserve peace in your body and peace around food. You deserve confidence in yourself.

If you are sick of being defeated by the weight loss/ weight re-gain roller coaster and are ready to draw a line in the sand once and for all, click the link in my bio to apply for counseling with me. You don’t have to do this alone!

Happy holidays 🎄❤️

Words can’t describe how thankful I am for Intuitive Eating this holiday season.

Being an Intuitive Eater at Christmas means peace around all the holiday food. No stress around the treats.

Eating intuitively means I can have cookies if I want them… I don’t hold myself back until I can’t take it anymore & then I binge. I can enjoy them calmly and move on without guilt.

And the funny thing is, with this mindset, the treats lose their allure. They’re still wonderful, but I don’t feel tortured by wondering if I should or shouldn’t eat them.

Eating intuitively means I have agency over my body & my food choices, so I’m not agonizing over foods that aren’t “allowed”.

Do you realize what an incredible gift this is?

To be able to just be present with my family without worrying about food, my weight, and my body… it’s a dream come true. Thank you & for changing my life and so many others.

Food freedom is possible for you, too. No matter what your history is with food, you can have peace… you deserve peace.

Your body is not something to be embarrassed of.

Your body has carried you through every experience you’ve ever had.

It’s been there for every milestone, every heartbreak... every memory you’ve ever made- good or bad- you’ve made inside your body.

It’s the most intimate relationship you’ll ever have.

And yet...

we think the worst things about our bodies.

We think no one will love us like this.

We think everyone else must be appalled.

We think we deserve to feel bad, because how could we let ourselves go like this?

But what if that was not the truth?

What if the truth was, you haven’t “let yourself go”?

What if the truth was you deserve a rich and full life... CAN LIVE a rich and full life in THIS body?

Don’t ever let anyone make you feel shame over your body- yourself included.

I totally love this time of year when clients are struck by the differences they notice compared to years past.

This client, whose message is pictured here, used to STRESS being around so many tempting holiday foods. It was torture, wanting to be able to just enjoy everything but knowing she “shouldn’t”, then feeling guilty when she inevitably binged.

This year, all of that is behind her.

This year, she can be around candy and cinnamon rolls and sweets and it is so NOT a big deal! She knows she can have these things if she wants them, but doesn’t feel the need to binge. She can enjoy them without stress and without guilt, in a way that feels good to her, and move on.

This is food freedom!

If being around holiday treats causes you anxiety, know that it doesn’t have to be this way.

It is possible for you to have peace around food. If you’re interested in getting support to heal your relationship with food, click the link in my bio to apply for coaching!

Diet culture loves to tell us that food = calories that sustain life or macros that build muscle & burn fat, and if we use food for anything other than that, we’re doing it wrong.

This perspective on food is harmful and denies our humanness.

Food is a way to connect with others. It’s a vehicle for a pleasurable & emotional experience. It holds memories, helps us celebrate and embrace our culture, and allows us to honor tradition.

Yet diet culture makes us feel shame if we eat for anything other than weight loss, weight maintenance, or muscle building.

Especially during the holiday season, you do not need to feel guilty for using food for more than just fuel.

You deserve for eating to be a rich & joyful experience.

& if you could use support adopting this mindset, click the link in my bio to apply for coaching.

Wishing you a happy holiday season 🩷

What does it look like to end years of the restrict/ binge cycle to finally achieve BALANCE with food?

What does it look like to put an end to weight cycling (lose some weight & gain it all back *and then some*- over and over)... and the constant pursuit of weight loss to actually feel COMFORTABLE in your skin and confident in your body?

What does it look like to say NO to diet culture and say YES to living a rich and full life?

It looks like THESE LADIES!

I am so excited to interview two of my amazing clients this week!

Tune in tomorrow at 12:30EST for my interview with Sara and Thursday at 10:30EST for my interview with Hillary.

These two will tell you all about what it’s like to go through the process of healing your relationships to food and your body.

You are going to learn SO MUCH and walk away so inspired!

We look forward to seeing you there :)
