"Every time someone asks about my experience with my nutritionist I tell them “it has changed my life”. "
— Ellen, former client
You may have arrived here because you feel stuck. You're exhausted by years of dieting, binge eating, restrictive eating, emotional eating, and feeling at war with your body. Or perhaps you've recently been diagnosed with a health condition and are looking for nutrition guidance that supports your health without pulling you back into dieting.
You want to feel better in your body. You want food to take up less space in your mind so you can be more present for the life that's happening around you. You know things can't keep going as they have been, but you're not sure where to start.
The good news? Things don't have to stay this way.
You don't have to choose between caring for your health and having a peaceful relationship with food. My approach helps you do both.
Together, we'll work toward your goals while creating a relationship with food and your body that feels more peaceful, flexible, and sustainable. Whether you're recovering from an eating disorder, navigating a medical condition, or simply tired of diet culture running your life, I'll meet you with compassion, curiosity, and evidence-based care every step of the way.
This work is about so much more than food. When food and body image take up less space, there's more room for the people, passions, and experiences that make life meaningful.
