The Hidden Stress Driving Overeating
Believe it or not, our struggles with food often have less to do with willpower and more to do with our deeper emotional needs—particularly, our need for belonging. When we…
What’s holding you back from reaching your health goals? You’ve done the research, tried countless diets, worked with nutritionists, and a personal trainer....you name it. You know what you should be doing to live a healthy life, but for some reason you’re just not able to do it consistently even though you want it so badly.
It’s understandable and reasonable that you’re worn out and wonder if things can change long-term since many things you’ve tried have helped to some extent. Even if you’ve tried some unconventional ways to address your relationship with food and get to the root cause of why you fall off track with your eating, my guess is many, if not all, of those efforts left you unfulfilled and only worked for a short period of time.
You’re not alone. I get it. I’ve been where you are, and even though I successfully changed my lifestyle and ultimately lost the weight, for years I was stuck in a vicious cycle of weight loss/weight gain and was consumed by the thought of food.
I finally broke this cycle and I want to help you do the same because what you’re working through IS solvable.
It’s my mission as a certified health coach and accountability coach to help you discover what is holding you back and keeping you stuck in the cycle of dieting and self-sabotage. Together, we will go beyond weight loss coaching and accountability coaching and get to the bottom of why you’re able to be “good” most of the time but end up falling off track. It’s not because you just love ice cream too much. I promise! Throughout the process we will make small, sustainable changes to radically transform your relationship with food and satisfy your emotional hunger!
Why? Because most of the information out there about losing weight and living a healthier lifestyle is focused on what you should or shouldn’t be eating – but you likely already know that. Most diets and eating plans are built around deprivation and categorize some food as “good” and other food as “bad.” They lead you to believe that successful weight management is just a matter of willpower and motivation. But that doesn’t tell the whole story.
In fact, they're often focusing on the wrong thing. Instead of looking at what you're eating as the problem, diving into WHY you're eating, especially when you seem to have an insatiable hunger, is a real game changer. When we look at our unaligned eating through a lens of safety (aka belonging) and somewhere our needs aren't getting met, things really start to shift.
There are many internal and external factors driving your food and lifestyle choices. It’s my mission to help you identify and conquer them. If you are ready to try something new and are looking for a health coach to offer more than just weight loss coaching, I am here for you.
I will support you in a non-judgmental way as your accountability coach, and together we will uncover the truth about your relationship with food, what generates all your food noise, and why you binge eat, or can’t stop eating even when you aren’t hungry. It’s only after we uncover these hidden reasons that you can start making the real, sustainable changes that will allow you to end the cycle of controlling your food and binge eating.
If you experience success in many areas of your life, but can’t seem to get a handle on “this food thing,” I can help you!

The mental gymnastics of being consumed by the thought of food?
Constantly self-sabotaging your weight loss efforts?
