Nourish Yourself Emotionally & Nutritionally

I get it. Food can be overwhelming.

I imagine you want to be at home in your body. In order to do that, you need to heal your relationship with food. The problem is, eating is complicated. You may try to do it “right,” fall back into bad habits, and end up feeling defeated.

Food touches every part of ourselves:

~ Mentally, we try to figure out if we’re eating the right nutrients, if we’re eating too much or too little, if we are exercising enough to be “healthy” according to an external source.

~ Physically, it can be confusing to understand the body’s signals around hunger, satiety, pain & pleasure, in our fast-paced world; especially if we have a history with trauma. Mysterious health/digestive symptoms can add to the confusion of how to feed ourselves, how to exercise, how to rest.

~ Emotionally, a loud inner critic (and painful childhood experiences) can make eating feel stressful. Nothing we do is ever good enough! Our body image can also become a source of shame when we judge ourselves harshly.

~ Spiritually, food can be connected to senses of purity, and lead to judgement. It’s hard to navigate the noise of many different suggestions for how to eat in ways that nourish your spirit AND create peace in the world.

~ Adulting-ly, managing daily food tasks like grocery shopping, meal prep and cooking can easily get overwhelming and hard to schedule. Eating and snacking can become impulsive and dissatisfying.

Our relationship with all these parts -- contained within our one precious body -- is of the utmost importance. This is where we get the opportunity to heal. <3

Eating is meant to be enjoyed!

For years I struggled to be kind to my emotions and my body. I also understand the pressure that comes with having health issues related to food. I’ve been studying cooking since 2012, and how it relates to inner child healing since 2015. My mission is to help people experience relaxation, lightness, joy, and ease with their food.

Now, I speak food and food speaks to me! Flavors and nutrients, and the way they combine, make sense to me. I have a deep wealth of experience with different styles of recipes, cookbooks, and methods of eating and cooking. No matter what your food needs are, I can help you meet them in satisfying, fun, and healthful ways.

Working with me is unique because we’ll bring:

1) Compassion and deep tenderness towards your inner child

2) Playfulness and enthusiasm to your food journey

3) Experience and research on best practices

4) Songs and creativity to help you befriend food and yourself

5) Hands-on practices like shopping and cooking together

Let’s play with food together, and help you feel better, inside and out!

Love,
