Hi, I'm Phibel

Life has taught me that food trials and tribulations hold beautiful opportunities to know oneself intimately, to evolve and grow.

At different times from my teenage years into early adulthood, I used food in an unconscious attempt to contain what felt like utter chaos. Overeating, binge eating, undereating, stealth dieting, latest-diet-fad-hopping, obsessing about "pure" eating, overexercising… I did it all.

And I did it hard. So much so that I messed up my (physical, hormonal, mental, and social) health on occasion.

Little did I know then that what I viewed as disordered eating was in fact my bodymind's intelligence doing its best to protect me. Except I had no clue what to listen for.

Prolonged survival mode froze me more than once into depression cycles. Eventually, I grew tired of being a diet refugee drifting in the middle of conflicting nutritional advice.

I was craving simplicity more and more.

I was willing to unlearn. In fact, I started to wonder... What if I just threw to the flames everything I think I know about nutrition and "healthy" eating? At some point, moving in the direction of change felt more and more like relief. And that relief felt more powerful than the fear of moving toward the unknown.

This new awareness led me to eating intuitively. I began exploring my felt sense around different types of food and allowing myself to experience pleasure with eating.

Ever since, I've developed an easeful relationship with food over time. Freedom with food and trust in my body have grown. Life has expanded as I've liberated myself, one baby step at a time, from nutrition and body standards that don't align with my unique design. I've chosen to tell myself more supportive stories around food and body. One whispering at a time, my body wisdom has guided me towards a deeper sense of fulfillment.

And all of that, I want for you too. Because I believe that wise eaters make more relaxed humans and, ultimately, thriving communities.

I intend to serve that goal with curiosity for your journey. With my lived experience of transforming eating struggles into empowered sustenance. With my own continued practice of cultivating nourishment of all kinds.

In Love,
