April Showers bring May Flowers…

Today, I want to to talk about “doing the work”. One part of Intuitive Eating that can be so challenging is we have to put in the work, sometimes for months or years before we really start to see a shift in our wellbeing, our relationship with food and our body image. That can be…

What to do if you find getting weighed at the doctor’s office is “triggering”

Something that has been coming up quite a bit lately is the idea of being weighed as a matter of course whenever you go to a doctor (even a specialist – such as a dermatologist). Many of my clients have had bad experiences in the past or continue to be triggered by being weighed.  If…

Self care? I’d love to if I could find the time!

I have a confession to make… I’m terrible at self care.  Oh don’t get me wrong, I know what self care is supposed to look like, I just have trouble getting myself to do it. For many years, I never considered it at all. I was busy with classes, studying, hanging out with friends and…
