EMBODIED EATING DISORDER RECOVERY & NUTRITION COUNSELING

Let's take a closer look at the stories you hold about bodies, food, movement, and wellness. We'll untangle from the harmful messages that create shame and blame around bodies and food which are often rooted in trauma and oppression. I'll guide you toward attuning to your body and connecting the head, heart, and gut. Our work will focus on building a loving relationship with yourself and food while drowning out diet culture, weight-centered wellness, and anti-fat bias.

Through an integrated practice of mindfulness, storytelling, and intention setting, we'll work together to get curious about how disordered and/or dysmorphic relationships to food and bodies impact our sense of belonging. I will invite you to engage your imagination and guide you to build practices that center joy, connection, and restoration. We will examine habits and old shapes that may not suit you anymore and work together to find new pathways that guide you toward your right for a dignified sense of being in the world.

Somatic Stewardship

Attuning to and honoring our bodies is a practice of liberation from disembodiment, often imposed onto us by toxic stress, trauma, and oppression. Together we'll tenderly visit with the body to develop literacy of and connection to your body's deepest longings and needs. In a gentle and compassionate container, I will steward you into somatic explorations that allow you feel more in choice around how and why you move through the world.

The somatic modalities I engage with are all filtered through anti-colonial and trauma-informed lenses and include decolonized nonviolent communication, parts work, embodied mindfulness, emergent strategy, and generative somatics. In session we'll blend somatic practices with storytelling to rework and rewire how we respond to internal and external stressors. My approach centers radical compassion, joy, pleasure, and abundance at every scale.

What to Expect

✶

Clients often describe our sessions as ​cozy, gentle, and insightful. Vulnerability, reciprocity, and empathy are core values that shape our work together. In our sessions, I'll invite you into a practice of curiosity and wonder, to question what you know about yourself and unearth what you don't. We'll learn how to befriend conflict, grief, and fear, while holding space for joy, play, and laughter.

HOW IT WORKS:

  • Let's jump on a 15-minute call to briefly discuss what you're looking for and get any questions answered.

  • This initial 60-minute session includes a deep dive into your story and the co-creation of our next steps forward.

  • Each recurring session after our intake is 50-minutes and can be scheduled on a weekly, every two weeks, or monthly basis. I typically work with clients on a long-term basis, but am open to short-term work.
