Nutrition

Intuitive Eating tosses out all concepts of dieting, restriction, and rules around food. It does not, and will not, ever tell you what to eat, when to eat it, and how much to eat.

Intuitive Eating emphasizes reconnecting and listening to your body in order to find the weight you are meant to be by following ten main principles.

You will learn how to:

• Let go of guilt and the “all or nothing” mentality around food.
• Enjoy your food!
• Respect your body.
• Cope with your feelings without using food.
• …and more!

Most importantly, you learn how to become your own expert. There is no one in this world that will know your body and what it needs better than you.

Traditionally a nutrition coach or counselor will write a meal plan for you, teach you about food exchanges, and/or focus on food and body (weight, measurements, size). I used to do this.

However, over the last ten years, my own nutrition coaching has developed into nutrition therapy – a process which is client-centered, habit and journey focused, and trust-building.

The main goal of this counseling is to explore the thoughts and feelings associated with one’s relationship to food and the body.

Challenging distorted myths about food, teaching the science behind how the body works, and how food can nourish both mind and body are all integral parts of this counseling paradigm.

Helping people tune into the internal wisdom about eating with which they are born through the process of Intuitive Eating is the focus of my counseling services

I am going to answer this because it is a question nearly every one of my clients has – but I will warn you, my response may not be satisfying to you.

I believe we are each born with a certain weight at which our body is comfortable. The weight our body would like to be, and the one in which WE would like it to be based on societal pressures may not be the same.

I strongly believe in the concepts of HAES (Health at Every Size), which “acknowledges that good health can best be realized independent from considerations of size”.

That being said, the Intuitive Eating journey will be different for every person and each will lose weight at their own pace. The timeline will be based on your connection with your body and emotions around food, and our focus will not be on weight.

I offer 50 minute counseling sessions which can be held in my home office, via online video conferencing (Skype or Zoom), or by phone.

“Macros” are short for the three main macronutrients that make up calories – which our body uses for energy. These include Protein, Fat, and Carbohydrates.

Everything we eat has a mix of these macronutrients in them!

Once you decide you’d like to work together, I will send you a questionnaire for you to fill out and an invoice. I will also need a food log of at least 3 to 5 days so I have a baseline to work from. This questionnaire and your food log will help me determine your starting macro and calorie targets, which I will deliver via email within 3 to 5 days from when you turn in your information.

(NOTE: The time it takes me to work out your macros is included in your month payment)

After you receive your macro recommendation and starting information, I will answer any questions and have weekly check-ins via email (and/or the Voxxer App if you’d like).

If you’d like video, phone, or in-person coaching for accountability, progress check-ins, to work through challenges, and frustrations, I offer a group or individual coaching add-on.

Please click the “cost & commitment” drop down for details.

Commitment:
I prefer you commit to at least three months of Macro coaching (with or without additional coaching). Although it’s not required at this time, we are in this to create true change, not have something work for a month and then go back to doing things the same!

True health is built on habits you are able to sustain for life. You may or may not want to count Macros for life, but the way I see it is counting macros can be a gateway to learning the needs of your body (and mind!) and eventually the goal is to eat intuitively knowing what works to maintain your optimal body composition.

Remember: It’s taken up until now to form the habits you currently have and it will take time to replace them with new ones.

Cost:
Macros Only – $50
Macros & Check-ins, questions, weekly contact, progress etc. – $100/month

Macros + Live Meetings are available as well!
