All women that come to intuitive eating coaching have failed… failed at many diets.
I love when women’s diets do not go according to plan… I get really excited because I know they are on the brink of huge transformation.
That’s when you are forced to make a choice… stay in your comfort zone repeating your old patterns to jump on the next “new” diet…
OR move forward past your dieting comfort zone and towards something different.
That’s when I come in… helping you feel the fear of trying something different and still move forward with courage.

What is intuitive eating?
Intuitive eating is a proven and well-researched self-care eating framework that teaches us to have a healthy relationship to food, empowering you to trust your ability to meet your needs, distinguish between physical and emotional hunger and ultimately develop body wisdom.
The intuitive eating definition is a framework to recover from years of chronic dieting and diet culture. And it’s focus is on rebuilding a relationship of trust and respect towards your body while supporting your health and happiness.
Our unique approach uses the framework of body neutrality alongside to intuitive eating. And body neutrality definition is a focus to avoid self-hate while simultaneously relieving you from the pressure of having to love your body. The goal is to respect and accept your body for what it is. I shared the foundation of this approach since 2016 in my intuitive eating podcast, “The Going Beyond Food Show”
That’s when I come in… helping you feel the fear of trying something different and still move forward with courage.
What is intuitive eating coaching?
As your partner and coach, I will support you in understanding and removing what is in the way of you becoming an intuitive eater. And what is in the way of your life without food and weight obsession Beyond The Food.
I will challenge you to say “no” to going through the old patterns and enthusiastically say “yes” to the possibilities that are available to you with intuitive eating and body neutrality.
We begin by taking an overview of your life and dieting history and identifying areas that need action and/or attention. I will assist you in establishing clear, concrete, measurable goals and support you in connecting to your own innate wisdom and power. There is nothing you cannot shift. You are capable of so much more than you know or are currently creating.
You are accountable for a plan that is manageable and created especially for you because I do not believe there is a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to 1-on-1 coaching. I do not solve your problems, but guide you into solving them on your own. I listen with understanding and 100% confidentiality. My relationships with my clients are intimate, honest, and rewarding. Our relationship will evolve in a way that best supports you.
How do you teach intuitive eating?
Our work together is organized following my proprietary methodology The Going Beyond The Food Method™️. As an intuitive eating nutritionist, the outcome of our work together is a neutral relationship of trust and respect towards your body and its innate wisdom.

Intuitive Eating Coach Experience & Credentials
I have been coaching since 2001. I’m a trained lifestyle coach and certified clinical nutritionist, hold degrees in health science and business management, and I am a trauma-informed & holistic health practitioner. Most importantly, I have lived experience, getting to the other side of disordered eating, body image disorder, relationship issues, career and business breakdown and health challenges.
I work with women of all ages with a diverse background that desire to be held accountable and willing to break free from their comfort zone. And the one thing they all have in common is the desire to yearn for more confidence, peace, health, and power. I only work with 6 women at the time so I can be fully present in each session. Coaching sessions are held on the phone or virtual and with a 6-month commitment required.
NB: If 1-on-1 coaching is not the right fit for you, we can direct you to our group coaching or self-study intuitive eating program.
Can intuitive eating really work?
Here’s the most fascinating aspect of intuitive eating and body neutrality, it’s that you can’t fail. You can’t fail because it’s not a diet! And because I’m confident in myself and not afraid to sign my own praise… here’s why women love my coaching:

I’m really busy now how will I find the time?
Well, that’s part of the journey. Discovering what is holding us back from having the time to take care of ourselves. The truth is, there’s never going to be enough time. Diet brain keeps you stuck in your patterns and cycle because you are waiting for the right time when you can do it all perfectly.

Will I lose weight during the intuitive eating coaching process?
First, know that it’s completely normal for you to want to lose weight. We live in a society that is filled with weight stigma and thin ideal. That’s diet culture. Intuitive eating and body neutrality goal aren’t to help you lose weight. If you are focused on weight loss, it will actually undermine the process. While some people lose weight, others don’t. Our journey together is not about weight loss.

I have tried so many diets will intuitive eating coaching work?
Good news, it’s not a diet. Diets have a 91-95% failure rate on 3-5 years’ timeframe so no surprise it didn’t for you either. Dieting leads to weight gain. This process is completely different from dieting because the goal is not weight loss, it’s about learning to appreciate our body and rebuild a relationship of trust and respect with ourselves and our body.

Why can I just do one session with you?
How long did it take you to get here? 1 hr or 10, 20, 30 years? I know for me it took 25 years and hoping to undo it all in 1 hour kept me stuck. The fear of commitment is in part the way in which your Diet brain operates to keep you stuck. Committing your time, energy and resources, your own transformation is part of the learning. If this is too much for you now, consider the environment of intuitive eating group coaching where we use the same methodology but no direct interaction with me.
