You know you’ve got a problem. You feel it every morning when you slowly, painfully slump out of bed. When you measure your blood sugar and take your cholesterol pills. When you’re puffing and panting from climbing one flight of stairs.

Maybe you’ve seen “What the Health?” and “Forks Over Knives” and you’re sold on the idea that a whole foods plant-forward lifestyle could reverse the worst of your health concerns.

Maybe you’ve even given up soda and potato chips, but you’re still eating processed meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And your body is paying the price.

So you’re ready to give up junk food, but it feels so damn daunting.

These are your comfort foods. These are your convenience foods. These are the foods you grew up with. And the thought of giving them up fills you with so much dread, you just want to self-soothe with ice cream.

And that’s totally normal.

The truth is, it would be totally weird if you weren’t hooked. These products are literally engineered to be addictive.

What’s worse, they’ve got you fooled into thinking it’s your fault you “can’t eat just one”, so you feel ashamed when every snack turns into a binge.

Then, because that shame feels shitty, you need more soothing. And what’s more comforting than ice cream and pizza?

What does working with me look like?

When you slow down and nurture your system with patience and caring, you create space for your inner wisdom to organically emerge, allowing your higher self to guide the process that’s exactly right for you.

We go slow to go fast.

My approach is deliberately patient and gentle. I believe high intensity growth work is harder to integrate, leads to “healing burnout,” and ultimately takes longer to achieve the same results.

The principal modalities I use are:

• Relateful Coaching: A presence- and curiosity-based practice for shifting the implicit beliefs that drive our feelings and behaviour.
• Polyvagal Tuning: A regulated nervous system increases your capacity to contain and express more life force energy.
• Somatic Focusing: Connect with your inner “felt sense” as a subtle, pre-verbal awareness of your body’s innate knowing.

Healing retreats, plant medicine, and immersive workshops definitely have their place—they can jump start the healing process and bring forward huge breakthroughs.

And, having attended dozens of holistic retreats and a few plant medicine ceremonies, I’ve realized it was the slow and gentle processes, guided over weeks and months outside of these programs
