I understand if the idea of another diet feels daunting. Diets can feel punitive and restrictive, leading to feelings of failure and guilt. However, there is an alternative approach that I would like to explore with you. Together, we will take a "deep dive" into the underlying emotions that may be driving your relationship with food. This approach is rooted in self-compassion, mindfulness, and positive psychology principles. We will discover new, healthy rituals that can replace the powerful and proven ritual of eating as a way to cope with emotions. The ultimate goal is to help you find lasting peace with food and your body.
I'm here to support you in exploring a healthier relationship with food and self-care. Together, we'll discover the true needs behind your desire for comfort, and develop tools to nurture yourself in beneficial ways. Let's move past the familiar pattern of calorie-counting and dieting, and cultivate a peaceful, remindset around food and your wellbeing.
What you learn with me cannot be unlearned. As your self-love grows, the urge to use food for emotional comfort diminishes. My approach focuses on emotional eating with gentle curiosity and self-compassion, guiding you towards a healthier relationship with food.
