Intuitive Eating after an eating disorder
Recovery from an eating disorder shouldn't end at a point of tolerating enough food.
You can and deserve to feel free around food.
Book a discovery call
We work together with 1-to-1 nutrition consultations tailored to the frequency and type of support you need.
How it works
We meet for an initial consultation
During our first consultation we will learn more about where you are, what your goals are and your challenges. You will leave with a plan and some activities to complete between our sessions.
Receive follow up support
We meet at a frequency that supports you. During these consultations we will explore your thoughts toward food and body, what's keeping you stuck and you will be provided activities to keep moving forward towards intuitive eating.
You become an intuitive eater
You will learn to eat without a meal plan, stop second guessing your food choices and remove guilt around food. You will learn how to notice and challenge eating disorder thoughts before they take hold for lifelong food freedom.
Are you stuck in that middle ground where you are no longer "sick enough" for eating disorder support, perhaps you are told you are recovered, but you still feel obsessive over food? You're over-thinking it? Worried about what the food will do to your body? Fighting off urges to restrict because you fear eating too much?
Unfortunately this is so common. But it shouldn't be like this, you deserve support for food to feel easy, enjoyable and supportive for your life. This is where I can help you.
Full eating disorder recovery can look like:
Eating spontaneously
Want to say "yes" to a spontaneous dinner without it being a source of stress? Or eat without feeling like a walking calculator? True food freedom allows food flexibility.
Trusting your body
Following a meal plan or food rules is not true food freedom. To be able to nourish yourself without this, you need to reconnect with your body to be your number one guide.
No obsessive food thoughts
You've likely learnt to challenge the ED thoughts enough to nourish yourself but you deserve to not have constant obsessive thoughts at all.
Feeling like your true self
An eating disorder makes you forget who you really are and your true values. You deserve to have the headspace to focus on being the person you truly want to be.
What you can expect
When we work together, we will explore the thoughts and beliefs you are holding onto around food and your body, working to unpack and challenge unsupportive thoughts and nurture your true self thoughts.
You will be supported to reconnect back into your body, understanding your body's hunger and satiety cues but also your emotion and self care cues as well.
I will also support you to challenge food fears so as to enjoy a diverse and fun way of eating and remove stress and guilt around food.
Our work focuses on your relationship with food and body while being mindful of any eating disorder thoughts, behaviours and triggers.
