Personalized Coaching for Your Unique Relationship with Food

Not a Diet: A New Direction

Food Coaching gets to the root of your relationship with food by exploring the emotional, physical, and behavioral patterns that shape how and why you eat. We pair mindset work with practical culinary skills to make food not only nourishing but deeply enjoyable. This is a path back to trust, pleasure, and freedom at the table.

WHAT TRAUMA-INFORMED FOOD COACHING MEANS

Trauma-informed food coaching is a structured, evidence-informed process that supports lasting change by working at the intersection of behavior, lived experience, and skill development. Coaching draws on years of research in behavior change, habit formation, motivational science, and embodied learning—not willpower or compliance. Rather than prescribing what to eat, coaching focuses on how decisions are made, sustained, and integrated into real life.

​

In this work, trauma-informed means that change is approached with an understanding of how stress, illness, medical experiences, and past conditioning shape behavior. Coaching creates a collaborative space for reflection, experimentation, and accountability—supporting clients to build food practices that are both nourishing and sustainable, without relying on restriction, shame, or rigid protocols.

WHAT ONE-ON-ONE FOOD COACHING INCLUDES:

✓ Food Story Exploration: Gently exploring your personal food history—including early experiences, cultural influences, illness, and messaging—to understand how past experiences shape present choices.

​

✓ Culinary Confidence & Skill Building: Developing practical, realistic kitchen skills that make cooking feel more accessible, supportive, and enjoyable—without pressure to be perfect.

​

✓ Meal Support Without Rules: Exploring flexible, real-life ways to think about meals that reduce overwhelm and shame, rather than relying on rigid plans or restriction.

​

✓ Mind-Body Awareness: Building awareness of how emotional states, stress, and physical sensations influence appetite, cravings, and food decisions—without judgment.

​

✓ Kitchen Environment Support: Looking at how your kitchen, tools, and routines either support or complicate your relationship with food, and identifying small, empowering shifts.

​

✓ Unpacking Food Rules: Examining internalized food beliefs and diet culture narratives with curiosity and compassion, making room for discernment rather than obedience.

​

✓ Habit-Building Through Choice: Supporting sustainable food practices that fit your life—without calorie counting, macro tracking, or prescriptive plans.

​

✓ Supportive Reflection & Accountability: Having a consistent, compassionate space to reflect on what is working, what feels difficult, and how to move forward in ways that respect your autonomy.
