intuitive eating counseling
Are you ready to make peace with food and your body? If you’ve ever struggled with feelings of shame or guilt around your food choices or found yourself in a relentless cycle of negative self-talk when you look in the mirror, you’re not alone. Many of us grapple with the frustration of dieting, feeling trapped in a constant battle with food and our bodies.
what is intuitive eating?
Intuitive Eating, developed by dietitians Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch in 1995, is an evidence-based model supported by over 125 research studies. It encourages individuals to listen to their body’s natural signals rather than follow restrictive diets. This process honors both your physical and mental health and aligns with the Health at Every Size movement, which recognizes that all bodies deserve dignity and respect.

your body, your journey
I believe in transparency, so I want you to know my nutrition philosophy: I am an anti-diet, weight-inclusive provider. Rather than focusing on weight loss, my approach emphasizes behaviors that can improve your relationship with food, your body, and your overall well-being.
​
It's important to understand that weight is not a behavior. Even as we work together to incorporate positive, health-promoting practices into your life, your weight might remain unchanged. I fully understand the desire to lose weight; however, if you’re committed to finding peace with food and enhancing your body image, I encourage you to place the pursuit of intentional weight loss on hold for now.
why wildflowers?
Drawing inspiration from nature, I believe in embracing the diverse beauty of all body shapes and sizes. Just as we admire the variety in wildflowers, it’s essential to recognize and celebrate the unique beauty that exists within each of us. Wildflower Wellness embodies the principle that the rich diversity found in nature parallels the beauty within humanity, and all bodies deserve to be acknowledged and respected.
