In our diet- and weight-obsessed culture, many of us struggle to make peace in our relationships with our bodies, food, and exercise.

It has become normalized to respond to our body dissatisfaction with diets that ultimately do not work and can cause tremendous harm. What starts as an earnest attempt to improve our sense of wellness may lead us down a vicious cycle of yo-yo dieting, and development of rigidity, fixation, and perfectionism around food and exercise.

These behaviors ultimately compromise our physical, social, and emotional health. I help clients relearn to trust their body’s signals and reject the external noise of diet culture.

What is Intuitive Eating?

Intuitive eating is the practice of eating in response to our body’s internal hunger cues, rather than external cues like diet culture beliefs. We’re all born with the ability to eat intuitively; think about the way a baby just knows when to start and stop eating.

But external factors like wellness trends, weight stigma, or food insecurity can overpower our natural hunger and fullness cues, making it difficult to know what our body actually needs. I help clients re-orient themselves to their bodies and empower them to prioritize nourishment, compassion, and pleasure in their relationship with food. 

Weight-Neutral Therapy for Every Body

When working with clients struggling with food and body, my approach is informed by the Health At Every Size paradigm, which de-emphasizes the importance of weight/body size, centers holistic health and body inclusivity, and denounces size discrimination. Through this approach, I support clients in the development of a more flexible, positive, and accepting relationship to food and body.
