INTUITIVE EATING

Intuitive eating is a non-diet approach to eating and wellness that supports you in working with your body, rather than against it. By re-connecting to your body and learning to respectfully respond to cues like hunger, fullness, and satiety, you can finally feel good about eating. In a diet driven society, food rules and diet trends often influence food choices over the wisdom of our bodies, keeping us stuck in the never ending cycle of dieting. Intuitive eating encourages an understanding your body and its’ needs, and teaches you how to eat as a form of self care. This, cultivates trust in your body, confidence with eating, and peace with food.

GENTLE HEALTH + WELLNESS

Have you ever felt overwhelmed or even confused with how to eat healthy? It’s a far too common narrative with all of the confusing and very contradicting information about nutrition and health that we hear. I believe that eating healthfully can come with ease, and does not require over consuming attention. The truth is good nutrition is individualized. It’s flexible and it does not come from a book of rules and dietary restrictions. I provide gentle guidance and digestible information to help you to make positive change towards discovering health-enhancing habits that support a more fulfilling and nourished life. This allows you to learn how to eat in a way that feels good by meeting your needs, your preferences, and how you define health for yourself.

EATING DISORDER + DISORDERED EATING RECOVERY

Natalie is a Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian through The International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals.

Food does not have to feel consuming, challenging, or controlled. Here are a few examples of behaviors that I help with;

• experiencing anxiety around food and eating, at home and in social settings. 

• rigid routines surrounding food and exercise

• feelings of guilt and shame associated with eating

• food, weight, and body preoccupation

• feeling ‘out of control’ or a ‘lack of willpower’ around certain foods

• labeling foods as good/bad healthy/unhealthy 

• counting or tracking food and nutrition information, and/or calories related to exercise

• the use of exercise, food restriction, dieting, and/or fasting to ‘make up’ for certain food choices.
