What if the problem isn’t your willpower - but the way diet culture has taught you to disconnect from your body? Maybe you’ve spent years measuring worth in calories, steps, or the number on the scale. You follow the rules, until you can’t - then feel like you’ve failed. The cycle is exhausting: restrict, obsess, lose control, repeat. You’re not broken- you’ve just spent so long trying to control your body that you’ve missed the wisdom it’s been offering all along. You want to eat without guilt, live without fear, and finally feel free in your own skin.

Change takes time; I help people stick to their goals using mindful and intuitive eating, awareness of body hunger cues, practical lifestyle changes, aligning with cultural preferences, and finding joy in movement.
My approach to nutrition is rooted in simplicity and sustainability. With over a decade of experience, I recognize that nutrition is a deeply personal aspect of life. I make it a priority to understand the experiences that lead a person to seek nutritional guidance, so I can provide them personalized care. I am particularly passionate about perinatal nutrition- encompassing each stage from preconception through lactation- to optimize nutrition for fertility, pregnancy, and overall wellness for mothers and their families. I also focus on general health/wellness, gut health, and disease prevention/management.

As a queer, non-binary person myself, I am incredibly passionate about working with individuals of the LGBTQIA plus community, and mindful of the unique experiences members of our community may have that can impact one's relationship with food and their body, as well as the lack of affirming care that may prevent folx from seeking support.
Nourishing oneself and feeling comfortable in the body we have is not always easy. Difficulties can arise due to a number of factors such as: chronic illness that makes it difficult to figure out what to eat that will not aggravate symptoms or use up your energy preparing; a wonderful brain that sometimes forgets to remind you to eat, or passionately dislikes foods you're told you should eat more of; a history of disordered eating with an old rulebook you're looking to let go of; an inner critic that makes living in the body and taking care of it hard; weight stigma that has created doubt around your own body wisdom.

I've been practicing since 1994 and have had the honor of meeting with and learning from hundreds of clients. What I've learned is that most of us don't need a lot of "education" about what a healthy lifestyle is. What we benefit most from is help putting together a plan and the supports to follow through long term. This is my passion. Taking care of yourself changes over time.

Mindful Eating Nutritionists and Dietitians
What is mindful eating?
Mindful eating is a practice that encourages individuals to be fully present and attentive while eating, focusing on the experience of each meal. It involves paying close attention to hunger, fullness, and satiety cues from the body, as well as being aware of the emotional factors influencing food choices and cravings. Unlike strict dietary rules, mindful eating promotes a nonjudgmental approach, emphasizing the sensory experience of eating and personal food preferences. By fostering greater awareness of how food affects both physical and emotional states, mindful eating helps individuals develop a healthier and more balanced relationship with food.

Who should practice mindful eating?
Mindful eating can benefit anyone looking to improve their relationship with food and enhance their awareness of how food impacts their body and mind. It is especially valuable for individuals experiencing food-related anxiety, such as those with eating disorders or other forms of food-related stress. Additionally, mindful eating can be helpful for those who frequently overeat or struggle to recognize their body's fullness cues. By fostering a greater connection with the sensory experience of eating and promoting awareness of hunger and satiety, mindful eating can aid in reducing overeating and cultivating a more balanced approach to food.

What are the benefits of mindful eating?
Mindful eating offers a range of benefits. For individuals with eating disorders or anxiety-related conditions, it can reduce stress and judgment surrounding food by fostering a non-judgmental and accepting approach to eating. Mindful eating is often taught alongside other self-acceptance practices and holistic nutritional approaches that emphasize overall wellbeing rather than weight or dieting. This combination can be particularly supportive in the recovery from food-related mental health issues. Additionally, mindful eating helps individuals better understand and respond to their body's hunger and fullness cues. While weight loss is not the primary goal of mindful eating, some individuals may experience weight reduction as a secondary benefit, particularly those who tend to overeat or ignore their body's signals. This can lead to improved health outcomes, such as better cardiovascular health.

How can a dietitian help with mindful eating?
A dietitian can help with mindful eating by working with the client to align their nutrition-related goals with mindful approaches. They often begin with a nutritional assessment to establish what the client's current approach to food is, including how food may be causing stress or disturbances in their life. Then, a dietitian will work with the client on how to implement mindful eating approaches, such as pausing before meals to assess hunger or keeping a journal to record how food consumption impacts their thoughts and emotions. Dietitians can also help clients reduce the self-judgment they may have around food and help clients practice self-acceptance and forgiveness as they work toward more mindful eating practices.
