Non-diet approach to health
I practice a non-diet, body inclusive, weight-inclusive approach that focuses on deep root healing - not chasing a number on a scales or physical measurement.
Radical approaches to health involve digging deep to get at the root causes which often includes exploring various aspects of life, relationship, values, routines, neurocomplexities, social norms and much much more.
I draw on a wide range of life experiences, gatherings, clinical experience, as well as formal and informal training and certification in Nutritional Therapy, Corporate Mentoring, CBT, Intuitive Eating, Eating Freely, Body Trust, Health at Every Size, Anti-racism, Social Justice, Menstrual and Women's Health, Women's circles, Decolonising Therapy and Advocacy training.
Through meaningful conversations and practices clients often find their own answers and solutions. Partnering and accompanying looks different for each client, no two people have the same needs, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution.
A personalised approach allows unlimited time, space, and practical tools to explore patterns, habits, coping strategies, internalised beliefs, barriers to change, resistance, memories and associations, emotional needs and stressors, body movement, sleep, and more—helping you create sustainable changes without guilt or shame.
Diets set us up for feeling deprived - the feeling of "I can't have"
Don’t let the number on a scale define your self-worth!
You are good enough the way you are.
Don’t put your life on hold, until you reach the “ideal” weight. Do it today.
Live your life NOW. There is no perfect weight…
Body Justice & Freedom
Body Justice & Freedom is a 6 month 1:1 programme for anybody who wishes to improve their relationship with food and their body.
If you consider yourself to be an 'emotional' eater, yo-yo dieter, serial dieter, start again on Monday dieter, binge eat, restrict eating after being 'bad' on holiday/a night out, and starts a new diet hoping this one will be different.
The programme is for you:
If you want to explore the harms of social norms, medical models, racism, patriarchy and capitalism.
If you want to learn how to connect to your body, hunger signals, fullness signals, honour emotions, values, improve physical and mental strength, improve your energy and memory, improve concentration and restore your sense of self and power.
If you want to avoid another fad diet, understand how to nourish yourself properly, without wonder pills or drugs.
If you want to reject diet culture and reconnect with ancestoral ways of nourishing yourself.
The program is based on the Three ‘E’s :
Explore root causes, historical relevance, how to identify Fight, Flight, Freeze or Fawn, carried trauma, ancestoral gifts
Educate discover the mind, body, soul connection. Menstrual cycles, moods, emotions, co-learning and un-learning, how to nourish without punishing.
Empower you to create your own path and rediscover your inner 'knowing'. Grow in confidence, remove barriers and use of strength based practices.
