Eating Behavior
I want to help you have the time, space, and energy to live the life you want rather than spending countless hours worrying about food and symptoms. This starts with developing a supportive relationship to food and your body - which is not always easy!
Here’s the truth though - often, we’ve been taught that food “should” be a specific way, and if we aren’t living up to that way of eating, there is something wrong with us. I don’t believe that, I believe “shoulds” keep us stuck. You can work toward health, and live your life with ease, not worrying about eating all the right things! As it turns out, we CAN have our cake and eat it, too.
I want to help you have the time, space, and energy to live the life you want rather than spending countless hours worrying about food and symptoms.
I love working with clients who are dealing with disordered eating, eating disorders, chronic dieting, and GI conditions where we can really dig into that connection between mind and body. That’s why I align with a non-diet, Health at Every Size® approach to nutrition care.
In addition to my client and outreach work at Nutrition Hive, I also provide clinical supervision for postgraduate nutritionists through Clinician’s Incubator.
In my spare time, I foster cats (literally, I have so many cats), enjoy gardening and listening to David Bowie.
