You're exhausted by the cycle of dieting, restricting, obsessing, guilt, or feeling out of control around food.
You have food noise, cravings, emotional eating, overeating, or binge eating that you've tried to manage but can't seem to stop.
You're considering a GLP-1, already on one (and wondering what happens when you stop), or wondering if you can permanently quiet the food noise and regulate your appetite without one (you can).
You feel disconnected from your body's cues (hunger, satisfaction, what you actually want) and eating has become more mental than instinctual.
You have health struggles — digestion, energy, moods, anxiety, metabolic conditions, hormones, thyroid, skin, allergies, inflammation, autoimmune, MCAS, immune system conditions, or other mysterious health conditions — that conventional medicine hasn't resolved, or you want to complement your care with a root-cause approach.
You want more energy, more stable moods, and less anxiety — and you want to find rhythms that are truly yours, built from both data and your own lived wisdom.
You have labs you'd like to improve (high cholesterol, prediabetes, elevated markers) and want to address them through food, lifestyle, and addressing underlying causes rather than medication alone.
You suspect food sensitivities may be playing a role in how you feel and want to explore and identify them.
You know what to eat in theory, but not what's right for you specifically, whether you're actually meeting your nutrient needs, and may have a hard time following through.
You spend too much mental and emotional energy on food, your body, and your health, when you'd rather be living your life.
You want to feel genuinely well (not just "fine") and show up fully in your relationships, your work, and your life.
You have a spiritual or intuitive side and appreciate a practitioner who meets you there.
My clients see changes in every area of their life: not just their health, but their confidence, their relationships, their presence. Here's what that actually looks like.
The obsessive thoughts, guilt, and mental preoccupation with food quiet down and eventually lift. The energy that used to go there gets redirected to your work, your relationships, the things that matter.
You become more skillful in responding to urges, cravings, and desires to overeat, rather than being run by them. Over time, those patterns diminish. And in their place, a genuine pull toward choices that actually support how you want to feel — while finding the rhythms and ways of being that are right for you.
Symptoms that have been with you for years — the ones you've learned to work around, been told are normal, or handed a prescription for — are finally addressed at the root.
You can hear what your body is actually asking for: hunger, satisfaction, a craving for something specific, or a need that isn't food at all. Eating becomes instinctual. And beyond food, your body becomes something you befriend, listen to, and trust rather than try to outsmart or override.
Presence in your body, at the table, and in your life becomes a foundation for more sensory satisfaction in ordinary moments — and more capacity to actually be in your life instead of just moving through it. When life itself is more satisfying, food stops needing to fill that role.
Most clients arrive wanting control. They leave as someone for whom food is simply not an issue. You become someone who genuinely wants to nourish their body and treat it like something they actually like. Being empowered around food becomes just who you are.
The work we do here is about food and your body — but what my clients notice is how much mental and emotional space opens up when food stops being the thing and symptoms no longer prevent them from fully enjoying their lives. That space is then free for: their work, their relationships, their creativity, their presence.
Clients have gotten promotions, changed careers, become more present parents. Not necessarily because we worked on any of that but because that's the natural ripple effect.
My approach is multi-pronged — because it's all connected.
Three layers. One integrated system.
→We'll start working together with an in-depth assessment and will create goals together.
We will run functional labs when we want to test, not guess.
From there, I build your personalized protocol — and we continue working together on the following:
Based on the assessment and any optional labs — GI Map stool testing, DUTCH hormone panel, or bloodwork you've already done or will do — you'll receive a personalized protocol: specific guidance on foods, nutrients, and supplements tailored to what your body actually needs. Alongside the protocol, you'll get practical frameworks for building balanced meals — grounded in nutrition science, and adapted to your own rhythms, preferences, and body. The protocol is phased, strategic, and personalized to you. Not a generic plan. Not a diet. No rigid long-term tracking, no restriction.
When the physical layer shifts, it has a downstream effect on mood, cravings, mental clarity, and emotional resilience.
These aren't concepts to "try": they're skills you learn, train, and develop muscle memory for, the same way you learned to ride a bike — effortful at first, then one day it clicks, and it just becomes natural. I provide the methodology, the exercises, the drills. We build them together in sessions; you practice on your own. Over time, they become wired in: your new default. No willpower required.
Using mindfulness skills, we address the thought patterns, beliefs, and identity that have been quietly influencing your relationship with food.
Most people try to change their behaviors first. But behavior follows identity. For example, if you identify as someone who struggles with food, who can't be trusted around certain foods, who has always been this way — you will unconsciously live in ways that confirm and perpetuate that story.
This is where we go underneath the behavior. Through session work, journaling, and somatic practices, we surface the default thoughts, beliefs, and stories that have been running quietly in the background. Then we work to rewrite them — not just cognitively, but in the body, so they actually wire in. When you start identifying as someone who has a healthy relationship with food, that becomes the self-fulfilling prophecy instead. The behaviors that used to feel hard, or that you'd quietly sabotage, start to shift and feel natural. Because they're aligned with who you are now.
Nothing about your health exists in isolation, and if you've ever noticed that, you already know this intuitively. Your body, your mind, and your nervous system aren't separate systems running parallel. They're in the same conversation.
Improve your gut health, and your mood, cravings, and stress response shift with it. Develop your mindfulness and emotional regulation skills, and digestion improves, inflammation decreases, cravings quiet. Shift a thought pattern, and the behaviors that follow change automatically.
Working on any one of these positively influences the others, and vice versa. We work through it layer by layer, and each layer makes the next one easier.

"It's been life changing. I used to get two bags of Oreos on the way home and would be disgusted with myself so throw some of them away — and would think about fishing them out of the trash. I didn't eat a single vegetable. Now I'm cooking for myself, craving greens, eating vegetables and all without following a diet. It feels instinctual. I'm not bingeing. There's no shame or self-hating — that was such a killer on my life. Now I'm happy. I've lost a significant amount of weight and my digestion is overhauled. I'm cruising, handling life, and have a way better relationship with food."
"The amount of thinking about food has dropped off a cliff and it's incredible. I didn't actually think it would happen — or fully believe you when you told me these shackles would be off. I feel a legitimate change and shift."
"I used to have the 'eff it, I'll eat more' thing and that's gone. It's now easy to be like 'I'm satisfied, I don't want any more' and I don't have to force myself to stop. I also can't believe I'm in a place where I can enjoy food without guilt. Not to mention the massive improvement in my digestion."
"You were the first practitioner to make me feel seen and understood. I've been raving about you to everyone because I feel like a completely different person than I did a year ago. My labs are all now in healthy ranges, I have energy to work out again, I've lost weight, and my digestion is finally working like it's supposed to. You have seriously changed my life."
You have some foundation in healthy eating: you've read, researched, maybe tried a few approaches. You're not starting from zero.
You have (or have had) some mindfulness touchpoint: yoga, meditation, journaling, breathwork. It doesn't need to be a current daily practice, but some experience turning inward helps.
You're mostly solid in other areas of your life, and you have a sense that getting this piece right will positively ripple into the rest.
You might have resistance or doubt (most people do, and we work through it), but you genuinely want this.
You can commit 1–2 hours a week (spread out) between sessions for the practices (most people enjoy these!).
You've already done some work on yourself. You know what it means to eat well, you move your body, you've read the books. And yet — this one thing. The food noise. The cravings. The digestive woes. The relationship with eating that feels out of proportion to everything else in your life.
You already have an intellectual or intuitive knowing. You just haven't found the right guide or system yet.
That's where I come in. If you're ready to go deeper, let's talk.
If you've read this and it feels like the right approach for you, the next step is a free strategy call. We'll talk through where you are, what you're looking for, and whether this is the right fit — for both of us.
Already know this is for you, or have a quick question? Send me a message and we'll have a quick chat.

Sessions are a mix of reviewing and troubleshooting your protocols, practicing skills together, and space to process and explore what's coming up for you. I have a clear methodology and process, but the order and pace are shaped by where you are and what you need. No two clients move through it the same way.
Most clients notice shifts within the first few weeks: more awareness, less reactivity around food, more energy. The deeper work takes longer. Six months is enough time for real physiological and behavioral change to take root, and for most people, that means a fundamentally different relationship with food. Like any skill, some people will feel fully solid by the end; others will still be in the process of mastering it. Either way, you will have the tools and the foundation to keep going on your own. Some clients also choose to continue in a lighter maintenance capacity, with ongoing support as life continues to unfold. For physical conditions, timelines vary depending on how long the issue has been present and what the labs reveal. Some clients see meaningful symptom improvement within the first few months; others with more complex or longstanding conditions take longer. The work meets you where you are.
That's the case for a lot of my clients. Book a free strategy call using the button above, or reach out and we'll figure out the right fit together.
Most nutrition programs give you a plan: what to eat, when, how much. That's not what this is. While I do give guidance and share knowledge on evidence-based nutrition, this is a process that reconnects you to your body's signals, untangles and rewires the emotional and neurological patterns around food, and restores things like metabolic and digestive health at the root — through functional labs, evidence-based mindfulness training, and individualized protocols. Many clients describe me as a "food therapist" because this work lives at the intersection of nutrition science, body awareness, and behavioral change in a way that neither a standard nutrition consult nor therapy typically reaches.
Yes! And this is one of the most common situations I work with right now. Mindfulness-based training works on the same dopamine and reward pathways as GLP-1s, but builds permanent neural change rather than suppressing the signal while you're on the drug.
GLP-1s do real things. They genuinely help with appetite, blood sugar regulation, and the constant noise around food, and for a lot of people, that relief feels significant. Where they tend to leave a gap is in the deeper patterns underneath: the cortisol load, gut dysfunction, broader hormonal dysregulation, nervous system dysregulation, and the behavioral and neurological wiring that's been building for years. For many people, when the medication stops, those patterns return. It's common to believe it's a willpower problem, when it's often physiology that was never addressed.
There's also the hunger piece. GLP-1s can suppress appetite so significantly that some people stop eating enough without fully realizing it: not enough protein, not enough nutrients to support muscle, hormones, energy, or recovery. I can help you make sure your nutritional needs are actually being met while you're on the medication. And part of the deeper work is learning to hear your body's actual signals again (hunger, satiation, what you genuinely need) so that those cues become reliable guides. Appetite becomes an intuitive signal that supports you instead of something to outsmart or be distracted by.
If you're already on a GLP-1, I can help you use the window it creates: building the skills and addressing the underlying physiology so the changes stick. For people considering one, this work is often a complete alternative. For people who've stopped and found the patterns came back, this is where we address the wiring the medication didn't change.

It can be a really good fit. ADHD often creates specific patterns around food: forgetting to eat for hours then overeating, impulsive choices, blood sugar crashes that tank focus and mood, and difficulty with the executive function involved in planning and preparing meals. Mindfulness-based strategies are well-researched for ADHD specifically; they build attentional capacity and impulse regulation directly, at the neurological level. There's also a meaningful physiological piece: specific nutrient deficiencies, blood sugar dysregulation, and gut health all directly influence the dopamine and serotonin pathways central to ADHD. Identifying and addressing those through functional nutrition often makes a significant difference in how symptoms show up day to day. ADHD is also associated with reduced interoceptive awareness (difficulty sensing hunger, fullness, and other body signals), and rebuilding that awareness is a core part of this work.
I'm familiar with how ADHD shows up in this kind of work and factor that in. It's worth noting that this work requires real engagement between sessions, and the clients who get the most from it tend to be curious about themselves and committed to the process.
The 6-month private coaching program is $500/month, with an option to pay in full.
Clients walk away with tools, awareness, and a relationship with their body that deepens with practice. Over time, they become the person for whom eating well, feeling good in their body, and trusting themselves around food is just how they live.
The headspace you've been spending on food and your body gets to become something else. That part is genuinely priceless.
