Reclaiming your food freedom has 12 self paced modules each exploring a unique topic area and in an order that is supportive to move through.

Each module has 2-4 video or audio lessons and PDF worksheets with exploratory and practical activities.

There are also on-the-go activities and meditations designed to use throughout as you need them.

There are also quizzes to assess your progress at the end of each module and weekly challenges for 12 weeks to keep you moving forward.

Consultations with a registered dietitian and certified intuitive eating counsellor are optional but recommended to help personalise any areas to yourself or help you through particularly challenges areas.

Intuitive Eating is an evidence-based, non-diet approach to self care and nourishing your body.

Dieting, or following food rules, drives us to use external cues to know when and what to eat. Focusing on what we "should" do leaves us unsatisfied, craving "bad" foods, hyperfocused on our weight and feeling like a failure.

Intuitive Eating is a framework to take you out of your head and back into your body. You will learn to satisfy your hunger, honour your fullness, cope with emotions, view foods neutrally and let go of obsessive thoughts around food. It is an approach that removes weight from the equation so you can focus on nourishing your body in the way that feels best.

I'm a Registered Dietitian in the UK and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) - the governing body of UK health professionals. I am held accountable to evidenced-based care under UK law.

Additionally I am a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor. This means I specialise in the biological, psychological and emotional drives to eating. My certification holds me accountable to non-diet, inclusive care for all bodies.

I have completed additional training in eating disorders and trauma informed care.

I have worked in Clinical Dietetics across hospitals in Australia and the UK in both the NHS and private settings including in an eating disorder unit.

I have a mixture of mornings, afternoons and an evening to best support different schedules.

My availability is:

Tuesday: 8am-12pm

Wednesday: 12pm-3pm

Thursday: 3pm-7pm

Feel free to reach out if you absolutely cannot make these times work and we can find a time that works for both of us.

The first step to healthy eating is a healthy relationship with food. We focus on improving your connection with your body so you can satisfy your hunger, honour your fullness

I can't say what your body will do but trying to control or change the size of your body is not a part of intuitive eating and shown to cause harm.

After stopping dieting, some people may lose weight, some may gain weight and some will stay the same. Although we are not working to control your body, we will explore weight and your relationship with your body as well as work on your health goals if that is what you want.

Body image is in your thoughts and beliefs. Improving body image and feeling better in your body is certainly part of our work together.

After years of dieting you may feel disconnected from your body. For the majority of people, once you let go of the diet mentality, you are able to start reconnecting with your body to feel and trust your eating and emotional cues.

For some people, past trauma or emotional distress may make tuning into your body feel unsafe. If this is the case, you may be best supported with 1-to-1 support.

Feel free to get in touch and speak with me about whether this support sounds like a good fit for you.

Most clients I work with have tried different forms of diets, whether that be one-size-fits-all meal plans or working with a professional who has provided advice on when or how to eat.

In my experience, neither of these work because they are not teaching you how to eat.

When we work together I don't tell you what or when to eat, but rather teach you how to connect back into your body so you can satisfy your hunger, honour your fullness, cope with emotion without food, naturally stop binge eating and eat in a way that is enjoyable and feels good.

This way you won't feel restricted and there is no diet plan to break.

The unique between session lessons and activities in the Food Freedom Collective provide further chance for you to learn, explore and reflect in your own time so we can get even more out of our sessions together. Additionally you have unlimited access to email me any questions, challenges and wins so you never feel alone.

Although a meal plan telling you when and what to eat sounds tempting, in my experience it is only a short term bandaid solution.

If you need gentle guidance to nourish your body I may provide a structure to support you initially but the ultimate goal is for you to have full autonomy over your eating for a lifetime of food freedom.

To do this you will learn how to connect back with your body's natural hunger and fullness cues, to find satisfaction and cope with your emotions in more supportive ways so you won't ever feel you need someone else to tell you what to eat again.

This is diet culture speaking. Eating what we want from a diet mindset, means we will feel out of control and it won't feel so good.

Eating what you want from an intuitive eater perspective is completely different to this. You eat what you want from a place of self care and learn to find satisfaction from food so you no longer feel out of control.

The modules range from understanding and letting go of the diet mentality (principle 1) and navigate through all 10 principles.

In my experience, often when we feel "stuck" in our intuitive eating journey it is because some of the earlier intuitive eating work needs to be revisited and explored deeper. If that is the case moving through the earlier modules will likely help to bring some awareness back to the foundations.

As it is self-paced you can choose to move through faster or slower so you can spend time in the areas that are most beneficial for you.

Of course, individual sessions will support you where you are at now and are appropriate for any stage of intuitive eating.

The modules range from understanding and letting go of the diet mentality (principle 1) and navigate through all 10 principles.

We start from the foundations of intuitive eating so it is appropriate even if you are brand new. As it is self-paced, you can spend as long as you need on each module.

I recommend having individual consultations to further support you to reframe diet culture thoughts and for personalised advice and tools as you move towards intuitive eating.

This course should not be taken by those with an eating disorder or history of an eating disorder.

Becoming an intuitive eater can certainly be a great goal to have if you are in recovery from an eating disorder.

But because your eating disorder voice can really interfere with your ability to connect with your body to guide you, it is important you first work on getting to a place you are eating regularly and enough food and have weight restored if required.

But you certainly deserve to go further than that.

I also specialise in eating disorders and have worked in both inpatient eating disorder units and in private consultations. I assess clients on an individual basis as to whether we are a good fit to work together with personalised consultations.

As a team based approach is important for eating disorder recovery, I will likely require you visit your GP and may need you to see a psychologist regularly as well.

Feel free to get in touch for a free discovery call to discuss further.

Most of my clients report food and body thoughts taking up a huge amount of headspace and time, from tracking calories to obsessively thinking about food. Doing this work actually saves you time in the long run.

There's never going to be a perfect time to start as something will always come up. Often the busy times can be when this work is even more important.

Getting started is the hardest part. The course is self paced so you can dedicate even a small amount of time which will make a big difference.You have several months to use pre-booked appointments and lifetime access to the course so there really is no reason to not start now.

Often we are hesitant to spend money on our health and wellbeing but will easily spend £100 or so on diet food or a gym membership we don't enjoy using.

It can be difficult to see the value in something that is not a physical entity, however your mental and physical health is one of the most valuable things you can invest in.

Many of my clients find they save money in the long term through having increased headspace and focus and spending less money on dieting.

Course

There are no refunds offered on the course once you have signed up. You do get lifetime access so even if you don't have the time or headspace now, it will be there when you need it.

Consultations

Continuing when we are not a good fit is not supportive for either of us, so, if after the first consultation, this support is not helpful for you, I will offer a refund for remaining sessions.

Appointments will be charged at £120/ appointment and refunds exclude payment processing fees.
