It might not seem like it, but no longer than a decade ago I was right where you were- thinking about reaching out for help. I felt lost, hopeless and was sure that I had hit rock bottom. I spent the majority of my days obsessing about food, weight and struggling with painful body image days. I was convinced that "professionals" would never really understand my inner conflicts. I wanted to change so badly, and yet I was terrified of changing my relationship with food and exercise. Somewhere, I knew deep in my bones that it was truly time for me to surrender fully to doing the work to heal my relationship with food.

When I first entered the workforce as a dietitian my life looked picture perfect on the outside, but on the inside my work was so unfulfilling and I couldn’t quite put my finger on it; then intuitive eating and reiki entered my life. What many people don’t realize is that a major component of nutrition is behavior change. Behavior change has nothing to do with the foods you eat, rather it’s all about habits and mindset. Here’s where it gets interesting. Energetic imbalances are at the root of your habits and mindset, and this is why I incorporate intuitive eating and reiki into my work with clients.
