Message to clients

The relationship we have with eating and our bodies is so so personal. And like other relationships, these relationships can become dysfunctional. And when they do, we can feel shame, alone and lost. It is so important that you have a safe, authentic, empathic, knowledgeable space to share, learn, recover and set yourself free from the challenges of a difficult relationship with eating, food and or your body. I truly understand, having traveled this road myself. Together we can find peace of mind, body and spirit--and recovery.


Specialties

Eating disorders - This is our unique approach to helping you manage your relationship with eating and your weight. We understand that there are many levels of a poor relationship with food, and it doesn’t mean that you are necessarily over- or underweight. All are on the rise among our adolescents and adults. And the incidence among boys and young men is increasing as well. We are uniquely trained and equipped to support you and your son or daughter through the recovery process. THE A, B, Cs of Eating Disorders: Anorexia, Bulimia, Compulsive Eating…we get it…and your nutritionist will navigate you through all of this with her team of doctors and therapists and you will get better! It won’t take forever like most programs - you will be amazed at how quickly our patients recover - but not until you are ready. We won’t push you and we’ll take care of your special needs.

Disordered eating - Support for clients whose preoccupation with food and eating is disproportionately burdensome but falls outside of eating disorder diagnostic criteria

Bariatric nutrition counseling - Including before and after surgery

Weight loss and management - Do you find it impossible to lose weight? Impossible to keep off any weight you lose? Have you eaten through your bariatric surgery? Menopausal? And cannot get rid of the weight gain? Stress, deprivation and shame are often associated with the process of losing weight. Whether its 10, 20, or 50 pounds - we understand. Offering original, innovative and personalized strategies and techniques, we get underneath the weight and get to the heart of the matter for results and sustained weight loss and weight management.
