Eating while you are distracted.
Restrict certain foods, and then go crazy on weekends or “cheat days.”
Confused about what to eat and how to make balanced meals without counting calories.
Don’t trust your body to tell you when you are hungry/full (following rules).
Negative self-talk about your body and how it looks

The food choices you make can impact your female fertility, influence fetal development, and aid recovery after birth. Whether you're preparing for conception, currently pregnant, or navigating postpartum life, our personalized, holistic approach to nutrition is designed to support you every step of the way.
Mindful Eating versus Intuitive Eating
If you've found traditional intuitive eating challenging or find yourself stuck in a restrict-binge cycle, our mindful eating strategies offer a fresh perspective. Taking a highly individualized approach, we will use mindful eating strategies and intuitive eating principles to set you on a journey to food freedom. Using a holistic approach, you will learn concepts like why calorie counting doesn’t work, how to eat intuitively, how to use the hunger scale before, during, and after meals, and mindful eating meal plan tips and benefits. We’ll also dive deep into lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, mood, and coping techniques. We’ll help you get through the confusion that diet culture has caused and bring you back to the basics of becoming a confident and mindful eater for your body.
Traditional intuitive eating can feel challenging – where you are simply supposed to trust your body to make good food choices. But what if you’re still on a restrict-binge cycle? Or you don’t understand the principles of intuitive or mindful eating?
This is where we come in. Using mindful eating techniques like workbooks (yes, there’s homework 😊), visuals, and knowledge-based skills to help you gain confidence in your food choices.
You’ll learn concepts like how to eat slower and more mindfully, meal planning for mindful eating, how to use the hunger scale to intuitively eat, and so much more.
