Does this sound like you?
Tired of cycling through diets and weight loss programs?
Label foods as “good” and “bad.”
Eating in response to emotions or when you are bored instead of true physical hunger.
Constantly munching in front of the T.V.
Eating while you are distracted.
Restrict certain foods, and then go crazy on weekends or “cheat days.”
Confused about what to eat and how to make balanced meals without counting calories.
Don’t trust your body to tell you when you are hungry/full (following rules).
Negative self-talk about your body and how it looks
You have a choice!
Continue to try every diet that comes along only to overeat again when you begin to feel hungry, bored, stressed, or deprived.

The Power of Choice in Shaping Tomorrow
“The life you want tomorrow is built on the choices you make today.” Let's break free from misconceptions and build a healthy relationship with food and your body. That’s where having the tools and accountability of working together will help you heal your relationship with food and with yourself! Whether your nutrition counseling services are insurance-paid or self-pay, there is a plan for you to help you stop dieting for good and heal your relationship with food and your body.
Mindful Eating versus Intuitive Eating
If you've found traditional intuitive eating challenging or find yourself stuck in a restrict-binge cycle, our mindful eating strategies offer a fresh perspective. Taking a highly individualized approach, we will use mindful eating strategies and intuitive eating principles to set you on a journey to food freedom. Using a holistic approach, you will learn concepts like why calorie counting doesn’t work, how to eat intuitively, how to use the hunger scale before, during, and after meals, and mindful eating meal plan tips and benefits. We’ll also dive deep into lifestyle factors like sleep, stress, mood, and coping techniques. We’ll help you get through the confusion that diet culture has caused and bring you back to the basics of becoming a confident and mindful eater for your body.
Traditional intuitive eating can feel challenging – where you are simply supposed to trust your body to make good food choices. But what if you’re still on a restrict-binge cycle? Or you don’t understand the principles of intuitive or mindful eating?
This is where we come in. Using mindful eating techniques like workbooks (yes, there’s homework 😊), visuals, and knowledge-based skills to help you gain confidence in your food choices.
You’ll learn concepts like how to eat slower and more mindfully, meal planning for mindful eating, how to use the hunger scale to intuitively eat, and so much more.

“Before meeting with Angela, I was so nervous about my daughter’s weight gain issues. However, Angela was amazing and so reassuring! She shared some tips with me for helping my daughter become a better eater and she also talked through lots of ideas for feeding her healthier foods to help with her weight gain needs. I am happy to share that following her advice, my daughter is doing well and meeting the goals we set. I would highly recommend Angela to any parent who needs nutritional guidance.”
