Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

  • What is intuitive eating, and how can it help me?

    Intuitive eating is a non-diet approach to reconnecting with your body’s natural hunger and fullness cues. Unlike traditional dieting, intuitive eating focuses on rejecting diet culture, healing your relationship with food, and honoring your body’s unique needs. As an intuitive eating coach, I guide you in unlearning restrictive habits and embracing food freedom.

  • What does it mean to heal your relationship with food and your body?

    Healing your relationship with food and your body involves letting go of harmful beliefs about dieting, body size, and self-worth. It’s about shifting from self-criticism to self-acceptance, exploring body neutrality or liberation, and finding peace in how you nourish yourself. Together, we’ll create a safe space to unpack these challenges and explore solutions tailored to you.

  • What is body neutrality, and how is it different from body positivity?

    Body neutrality focuses on what your body can do for you rather than how it looks. It’s about detaching self-worth from appearance and finding ways to coexist peacefully with your body. While body positivity celebrates all body types, body neutrality allows space for those who don’t feel ready to love their bodies but want to stop fighting against them.

  • What does “Health at Every Size” (HAES) mean?

    Health at Every Size (HAES) is an inclusive approach that emphasizes body diversity and well-being without focusing on weight. It encourages intuitive eating, joyful movement, and body respect, rather than weight loss, as markers of health. My coaching integrates HAES principles to support you in pursuing health on your terms.

  • Who are your coaching services designed for?

    I specialize in working with women and LGBTQ+ individuals who want to heal their relationships with food and their bodies. Whether you’re recovering from diet culture, struggling with disordered eating, or seeking support in embracing body neutrality, I’m here to help.

  • Can I work with you if I’m still struggling with dieting or disordered eating?

    Absolutely. Many of my clients are in various stages of their journey, from exploring intuitive eating to recovering from years of dieting or disordered eating. My coaching provides a judgment-free space to start where you are, with compassion and practical tools to support your progress.

  • What can I expect from a coaching session?

    Each session is personalized to your needs. We may explore intuitive eating principles, unpack body image struggles, or practice strategies for handling diet culture in daily life. My goal is to create a collaborative, supportive environment where you can reflect, set goals, and take actionable steps toward healing.

  • How is anti-diet coaching different from traditional weight-loss coaching?

    Anti-diet coaching focuses on rejecting diet culture and harmful weight-centric approaches. Instead of promoting weight loss, we work on improving your relationship with food, building self-trust, and cultivating body respect. This holistic approach supports long-term well-being and mental health.

  • What is body liberation, and how can it help me?

    Body liberation is about freeing yourself from societal expectations and judgments around body size, shape, and appearance. It empowers you to reclaim your body as your own, without apology or explanation. For some clients, this is the ultimate goal of their journey (whether alongside or independent from changing eating behaviors). Through coaching, we’ll explore how body liberation can help you live authentically and confidently.

  • Do you offer virtual coaching sessions?

    Yes, I work with clients virtually, providing flexible scheduling to meet your needs. Whether you’re local or connecting from another part of the world, I’m here to support you through online coaching sessions.

My approach is tailored to meet you wherever you are in your journey, with practical tools and compassionate support.
