EMBODIED EATING DISORDER RECOVERY

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.

Anti-colonial Nutrition Counseling

The nutrition industry is a trillion (yes, trillion) dollar industry that profits off a culture that demands we fear, shame, and over control our bodies. The confusion, dysphoria, and insecurity many of us feel around feeding and nourishing ourselves stems from this industry that rigidly biases an ideal body type, ability, gender, socioeconomic class, and race (amongst other social identities).

Anti-colonial nutrition counseling invites us to nourish the body through food without compromising our dignity. By acknowledging the social, emotional, ancestral, and political elements of our relationship to food, we’ll figure out how to be nourished in ways that feel dynamic, attuned, and sustainable. We’ll focus on building trust with yourself as you change or re-pattern your eating habits and move slowly and compassionately with yourself should stuck points arise.

Specialties

  • Weight-neutral and anti-diet food, movement, and lifestyle management of chronic illness (including autoimmune disorders, PCOS, diabetes, and hypertension)

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.
