Health Professionals in Seattle, WA

How many diets have you tried and quit? What if I told you that it wasn’t you failing the diet, but the diet failing YOU? Many of us grew up believing that thin equals healthy, and that sticking to rigid rules around eating and moving would lead to happiness and success. But in reality, sticking to food rules creates stronger and stronger cravings, feelings of powerlessness or guilt, and disconnection from the body’s signals of hunger, fullness, thirst, and more! Dieting can even lead to total loss of control, binge eating, and shame spirals. To heal a chaotic relationship with food, the first step is understand this cycle.

Our bodies are our first homes. And yet, the struggle to belong in our skin and bones is widespread. From an early age, we are taught to mistrust our bodies; tune out its sensations and longings.

You are here because you know you deserve to belong in your body. I am here to witness your journey toward building a loving and embodied relationship with yourself and the world around you.
