The offering

My approach is positive and empowering. I don't see eating challenges as a sign that "something's wrong with you"—but as a doorway to some of the personal dimensions in life that impact food, weight, and health. Our eating challenges are often connected to work, money, relationship, family, intimacy, life stress, and so much more. As we work on the places that are most relevant for you, I look to support you with coaching strategies and nutrition principles that are doable, sustainable, and that yield results.

For far too long, we've been inundated by negative messages about food, weight and diet. We've been told that we lack willpower or that we need more control. We hear a lot of conflicting advice when it comes to nutrition. No wonder people are confused about what to eat, and how to have a happy relationship with food and a healthy metabolism. In my professional practice, I combine many of the best strategies from nutrition science and eating psychology. Instead of the "shoulds and shouldn'ts", I focus on what's right for your body and your personal style. As we work together in this way, eating and health issues become a place of exploration. Such challenges become opportunities for growth and self-improvement.

I trained at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, the world's leading school in Nutritional Psychology, where I received my certification in Mind Body Nutrition and Dynamic Eating Psychology. The skills I use from this training combine practical coaching techniques, results-oriented psychology, clinical nutrition, body-centered practices,  and a positive and compassionate approach to challenges with food and health.

Dynamic eating psychology is an important new field originated by Marc David, Founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. It's a positive, empowering, and transformational approach that's designed for anyone who eats. Each of us has a unique, fascinating, and ever changing relationship with food. Dynamic eating psychology affirms the primary importance of this relationship. It sees our challenges with eating, weight, and health not as an indication that we're broken, but as a beautiful opportunity to grow and evolve. Previously, eating psychology has been limited to those with clinical eating disorders. Dynamic eating psychology, though, is for everyone. It affirms that our relationship with food has important lessons to teach us if we choose to listen. And it recognizes that our challenges with eating, weight, and health are intimately connected to other primary life dimensions—relationship, family, work, sexuality, our search for meaning and fulfillment, and so much more.

Mind body nutrition is an exciting and timely new field that advances the practice of clinical nutrition by exploring the psychophysiology of how thoughts, feelings, and beliefs impact nutritional metabolism and health. Originated by Marc David, Founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, it goes far beyond classical nutrition by focusing on the fascinating connections between brain, body, and behavior. Simply put, what we eat is only half of the story of good nutrition. The other half is who we are as eaters. Mind body nutrition reveals how stress physiology, the relaxation response, breathing, awareness, pleasure, meal timing, and much more profoundly influence digestion and calorie burning. And it offers practical and results-oriented strategies for the most commonly seen eating challenges of our times.
