Intuitive Eating & Body Trust®
If you feel stuck in the cycle of dieting, food rules, or body shame, this space is for you. Together, we’ll explore how cues like hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and self-care can guide your choices. Instead of rigid plans, we’ll focus on cultivating trust in your body, reducing stress around food, and creating a more peaceful relationship with eating.
In our work together, we’ll:
Unpack how diet culture has impacted you personally and how it continues to show up in your daily life.
Explore concrete ways to reject diet culture and make choices that feel more aligned with your values.
Learn and practice the principles of Intuitive Eating, adapting them to your unique circumstances and needs.
Explore how different foods and nutrients support your body, finding ways to incorporate them that feel flexible, accessible, and satisfying.
Shift away from guilt, shame, and rigid rules toward flexibility, curiosity, and self-compassion.
Build sustainable habits that support both your physical and emotional well-being.
This is not about finding the “perfect” way to eat. It’s about creating more space, freedom, and trust in your relationship with food and your body. My role is to walk alongside you with curiosity and compassion, helping you reconnect with yourself on your own terms.
Eating Disorder Recovery
Healing your relationship with food takes time, and you deserve support that meets you exactly where you are. I welcome individuals navigating eating disorder recovery who are appropriate for outpatient care , including those recovering from restriction, binge eating disorder, purging behaviors, and other disordered eating patterns.
In our work together, we'll:
Move at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you, without pressure or rigid timelines.
Explore the role food has played in your life with curiosity and compassion, not judgment.
Gently work toward more flexibility, variety, and ease around eating.
Begin to untangle body image from your sense of worth, exploring a more peaceful, and eventually more neutral, relationship with your body.
Collaborate with your treatment team, therapist, or other providers to ensure continuity of care.
Identify when additional support may be helpful, and connect you with trusted providers in my referral network if a higher level of care is ever needed.
Recovery isn't linear, and there's no "right" way to be in it. My role is to walk alongside you with patience and care, honoring the progress you've already made while supporting what comes next.
OCD & Food-Related Fear
When OCD or anxiety shows up around food, eating can feel anything but simple. This space is for people who feel trapped by fear or uncertainty around food, whether that's anxiety about how food was prepared, intrusive thoughts that make eating feel unsafe, or rules and rituals that have become exhausting to maintain.
In our work together, we'll:
Explore how OCD and food-related anxiety are showing up in your relationship with eating, without pressure to change faster than feels safe.
Work alongside your therapist or treatment team to ensure nutrition support fits within the broader picture of your care.
Gently build more flexibility and ease around food, at a pace that honors your nervous system.
Separate your worth and identity from the fears and rituals that have taken up so much space.
Create a consistent, non-judgmental space where you feel genuinely safe to show up as you are.
You don't have to have it all figured out to start. My role is to walk alongside you with patience and care, honoring how hard this has been while supporting what comes next.
Weight-Neutral Care & Health at Every Size® (HAES®)
At Mindfully Guided, care is never contingent on your size, and weight loss is never the goal. My practice is fully aligned with Health at Every Size® (HAES®) principles, an evidence-informed framework that recognizes health is influenced by far more than body weight, and that pursuing wellbeing looks different for every person.
In our work together, we'll:
Shift the focus from the scale to how you actually feel — your energy, digestion, mood, and relationship with food.
Explore sustainable, nourishing behaviors that support your health without dieting or restriction.
Unpack the ways weight stigma may have shaped your healthcare experiences and your relationship with your own body.
Set goals rooted in what matters to you, not in achieving a particular number.
You deserve care that sees you as a whole person, not a problem to be solved. Whether you've been burned by diet culture, let down by providers who reduced your health to your weight, or simply never felt at home in a traditional nutrition setting, this is a different kind of space.
Perinatal Nutrition (fertility, pregnancy, postpartum)
Fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum bring significant physical and emotional shifts, and the nutrition advice available can feel overwhelming and contradictory. My role is to provide clear, supportive guidance so you feel grounded, confident, and cared for during this transformative season.
In our work together, I can help you:
Support your fertility journey with evidence-based nutrition strategies tailored to your unique needs.
Navigate the deeply personal journey of infertility with compassion and evidence-based nutrition support, including the added layers that conditions like PCOS and endometriosis can bring.
Find relief from common pregnancy side effects such as nausea, reflux, and constipation.
Understand your unique nutrient needs to support healthy energy, weight gain, and overall well-being.
Choose supplements with confidence so you know you’re meeting key requirements.
Reduce your risk for complications with personalized nutrition strategies.
Support your baby’s long-term health through evidence-based nutrition approaches.
Sort through conflicting advice and food myths so you can focus on what really matters.
What makes this approach unique is that you’ll receive more than just general guidelines. With specialized training in perinatal nutrition, I combine clinical knowledge with compassion for the lived experience of fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum. My goal is to help you feel cared for and reassured, while giving you the tools to make confident, nourishing choices every step of the way.
PCOS Nutrition
PCOS can bring a mix of physical, emotional, and hormonal challenges along with a lot of conflicting nutrition advice. If you’ve been told to cut out foods, follow strict plans, or focus on weight loss to “fix” your symptoms or improve fertility, you’re not alone. At Mindfully Guided, I offer compassionate, weight-neutral support for PCOS.
In our work together, I can help you:
Understanding how PCOS shows up in your body
Supporting blood sugar in flexible, non-restrictive ways
Building balanced meals without rigid plans
Navigating cravings, hunger, and fullness with more clarity
Reducing all-or-nothing thinking around food
Supporting energy, mood, and daily nourishment
Exploring nutrition in the context of fertility and hormone health
Untangling diet culture messaging within PCOS care
Whether you’ve been recently diagnosed, navigating symptoms, or thinking about fertility, we’ll work together to support your body in a way that feels sustainable and aligned.
Trauma-Informed Nutrition Counseling
For many people, food and eating are deeply connected to past experiences, including trauma. Whether that's a history of restriction, a complicated relationship with your body, experiences of weight stigma in healthcare, or something else entirely, those experiences deserve to be acknowledged and honored in the care you receive.
Trauma-informed practice means that your sense of safety, autonomy, and control are at the center of everything we do together. There is no pressure to share more than you're ready to, no agenda that overrides your needs, and no "right" pace for this work.
In our work together, we'll:
Move at a pace that feels safe and grounded for you, always.
Prioritize your sense of agency — you are always the expert on your own experience.
Explore how past experiences may be showing up in your relationship with food and your body today.
Build skills and practices that support nervous system regulation alongside nourishment.
Create a consistent, predictable, and compassionate space where you feel genuinely seen.
Healing is possible, and it doesn't require revisiting everything. My role is simply to be a steady, trustworthy presence as you find your way forward.
Neurodivergent-Affirming Nutrition Counseling
Intuitive Eating is often presented as simple: just listen to your body. But for many neurodivergent people — those with ADHD, autism, sensory processing differences, or other neurotypes — connecting with hunger and fullness cues can feel anything but straightforward. Medication, sensory sensitivities, executive function challenges, and a lifetime of being told your body's signals are "wrong" can all get in the way. This space is built with that reality in mind.
In our work together, we'll:
Explore how you experience hunger, fullness, and satisfaction.
Adapt Intuitive Eating principles in ways that are actually workable for your brain and life.
Address sensory sensitivities, food rigidity, or limited variety without shame or pressure.
Build flexible, low-barrier approaches to nourishment that support your energy and focus.
Untangle any messaging you've received that your eating habits are a personal failing (spoiler, they're not).
You don't have to fit into a one-size-fits-all model of "healthy eating." My approach honors the full complexity of how you experience food, and meets you where you are.
