I help people to restore their joyful, wholesome relationship with food and eating. 

My approach is positive and empowering. I don’t see your eating challenges merely as a sign that “something is wrong with you” – but as a place where we can more fully explore some of the personal dimensions in life that impact food, eating, lifestyle and well-being.

Oftentimes, our eating challenges are connected to work, money, relationship, family, intimacy, life stress, and so much more. By working on the places that are most relevant for you, success is more easily achieved. I look to support you with coaching strategies and nutrition principles that are nourishing, doable, sustainable, and that yield results.                      

I trained at the Institute for the Psychology of Eating (IPE), Colorado, USA, the world’s leading school in Nutritional Psychology, where I received my certification in Mind Body Nutrition and Dynamic Eating Psychology.

In IPE’s internationally acclaimed program, I learned powerful cutting-edge tools and protocols that enable me to work with weight issues, body image challenges, overeating, emotional and stress eating, and a variety of nutrition related health concerns, such as digestion, fatigue, mood, immunity, and others. 

Dynamic Eating Psychology is an important new field originated by Marc David, Founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. It’s a positive, empowering, and transformational approach that’s designed for anyone who eats.

Each of us has a unique, fascinating, and ever changing relationship with food.

Dynamic Eating Psychology affirms the primary importance of this relationship. It sees our challenges with eating, weight, and health not as an indication that we’re broken, but as a beautiful opportunity to grow and evolve.

Previously, eating psychology has been limited to those with clinical eating disorders. Dynamic Eating Psychology, though, is for everyone. It affirms that our relationship with food has important lessons to teach us if we choose to listen. And it recognizes that our challenges with eating, weight, and health are intimately connected to other primary life dimensions – relationship, family, work, intim relationships, our search for meaning and fulfillment, and so much more.

Dynamic Eating Psychology is a powerful breakthrough approach.

Mind Body Nutrition is an exciting and timely new field that advances the practice of clinical nutrition by exploring the psychophysiology of how thoughts, feelings, and beliefs impact nutritional metabolism and health. Originated by Marc David, Founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, it goes far beyond classical nutrition by focusing on the fascinating connections between brain, body, and behavior. Simply put: What we eat is only half of the story of good nutrition. The other half is who we are as eaters.

The Coaching I have been trained in is an exciting and cutting edge approach developed by the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. It effectively addresses weight concerns, binge eating, overeating, body image challenges, and various nutrition related health concerns.   

In my holistic mentoring practice, you come across an approach that views and serves the whole human being as an integrated unity of interconnected parts.

It is the harmonious and dynamic unity of body, mind, heart, and soul that leads us to true self-knowledge and healing.

In other words: The holistic (whole-istic) view looks at the full complexity of the human being, that is, the physical  and social environment in which one lives, influencing one’s bodily/physical, mental/intellectual, psychic/emotional, spiritual/soul aspects.

Uplifting and nourishing

I will help you to achieve your goals by using methods that are both uplifting and nourishing for both the body and the soul, techniques tailored for you, rather than self-punishing or self-restrictive programs.

Clearing up the confusion

For far too long, we’ve been inundated by negative messages about food, weight, and diet. We’ve been told that we’re willpower weaklings or that we need more control. Too many nutrition experts promote conflicting advice. The result is people are confused about what to eat, and how to have a happy relationship with food and a healthy metabolism.

The freedom of opportunities

By eliminating all the “shoulds and shouldn’ts”, I focus on what’s right for your body and your personal style. As we work together in this way, eating and health issues become a place of exploration. Instead of seeing such challenges as the enemy, they become opportunities for growth and self-improvement.

Optional tools

In my professional practice, I combine many of the best strategies from nutrition science and eating psychology. I apply as well, as optional tools, the Spiritual Response Technique and the Emotional Freedom Technique with excellent results.

I assist you in rapidly erasing the psychological programming keeping you stuck in sub-optimal health – and instead re-educate yourself to automatically gravitate towards food, habits, and lifestyle choices that nourish your body.

A space for you to grow

As I get to know you, I will get a vision or sense of your best or higher “version”, and besides your goals, this will give direction to me in my work with you.
