Eating food, connecting with our senses, and caring for our bodies are meant to be pleasurable and life-giving activities. Often things go awry and we find ourselves eating, moving, and generally operating in ways that do not sustain us or make us feel our best. The world that we live in and events in our lives can leave us disconnected from our bodies and how to best take care of them. When we don’t care for ourselves first, it is nearly impossible to care for others well and live out our purpose on the planet. My training includes nutrition science, psychology, Somatic Experiencing (SE)™, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based and insight-oriented meditation, and elements of yoga therapeutics, dance, and authentic/improvisational movement. In my work, I feel called to assist clients, readers, and professionals in improving their relationships with food and their bodies. There is so much conflicting information about how to eat and care for ourselves. I work with my clients to sort through it all, and to use their own inner wisdom to develop a style of eating, moving, and self-care that works for their unique bodies and lifestyles. We also work on how they feel in their bodies and on nervous system regulation, particularly if dysregulation and stress have a role in their relationship with food or their bodies. Individual and group supervision for professionals in the eating disorders field is something that I also enjoy and feel passionate about.
