Dare to Not Diet

About Dare to Not Diet

I am a registered dietitian, certified intuitive eating counselor, and body image coach who works with people virtually to develop sustainable & enjoyable well-being practices without a focus on weight. I help clients who identify as overeaters, binge eaters, emotional or boredom eaters and chronic dieters recover their ability to eat well and enjoyable and restore health. My work is based on these five anti-diet pillars: REJECTING DIETING A healthy relationship with food cannot be achieved when you are actively trying to change your body with restrictive diets. You will learn to challenge old diet and food rules and embrace true freedom with food. ATTUNED EATING You will get in touch with your built-in system of eating regulation that is based on hunger, fullness, satisfaction and preferences, not plate size or predetermined portions. You will rediscover your body’s craving for a diverse array of foods and learn to feed yourself with permission. Ultimately, you will develop a positive eating attitude that is about providing, not depriving. REDUCING SHAME Diet culture teaches you to hate your body and distrust your ability to eat – both of which increase shame and decrease your ability to make positive change. We’ll work to reduce that shame and develop true body appreciation. BODY IMAGE RESILIENCE You’ll increase your ability to bounce back from those bad body moments that are the driving force behind your desire to diet. We’ll work on reducing your need for external validation and move towards internally motivated confidence and values-based living. RECLAIMING MOVEMENT It is your body’s birthright to move and movement is truly life-giving. You’ll reclaim movement from the diet culture that hijacked it from you in the first place. If you've tried all the diets, it's time to try a different approach to health!
