The Curse of the Junk Food Diet!

It impacts you every morning when you slump out of bed, sluggish from eating too much crap the night before.

You feel it when you’re puffing and panting after climbing one flight of stairs, or when your achy joints feel about 20 years too old.

(And let’s not mention your ever-expanding waistband…)

Maybe you’ve watched the revealing documentary Food, Inc. and you’re convinced it’s time to kick ultra-processed food companies to the curb.

Or maybe you’ve seen What the Health? and you believe a whole food plant-based lifestyle can reverse your diabetes, heart disease, or arthritis.

However you got here, whatever your reasons, you desperately want to cut back on junk food and eat healthier, but it’s so damn hard.

You’ve even had some periods of eating really well for a while, but eventually your willpower turns into rebellion, and your self-control transforms into self-indulgence, and the junk food habit gradually sneaks back into your life.

And that’s totally normal – these products are literally designed to be biologically addictive!

Who Am I to Help You?

I’ve walked this path myself. I know the pull of junk food cravings and the frustration of trying program after program that didn’t help.

Some told me I was powerless. Others insisted “all foods fit.” Neither matched my lived experience.

What I found was that recovery only worked when I trusted my own inner wisdom. That’s the approach I now share.

My role is to guide, not to carry. I can point out the traps and turning points, offer simple practices, and hold a grounded presence so you can discover your own way forward.

Alongside my lived experience, I’ve led hundreds of hours of relational presence circles and trained in multiple healing modalities, which gives me a wide base to support you.

It’s about helping you reconnect with yourself, so your moment-to-moment choices begin to align with what you most deeply want.

“One size fits all” fits about as well for recovery as it does for leggings, so I provide a ton of info on my philosophy around food addiction and my approach to recovery, so you get a sense of whether my work might be right for you.

Where am I on my own Journey?

In 2018, I dedicated myself to my healing journey. I learned to stay present with intense feelings, regulate my nervous system, and integrate much of my early wounding.

In 2023, I began practicing the techniques that now form the foundation of my recovery. After experimenting with both embodied and abstinence approaches, real success came when I combined elements of both.

Now I make food choices from a place of freedom and agency. Healthier eating feels natural, not forced.

That season of healing has naturally shifted into a new calling: guiding others on their journey, with the same compassion, presence, and tools that supported me.

To be transparent: I don’t eat “perfectly”. I’ve cut out my worst offender foods, and I eat others consciously, in alignment with my physical and emotional needs. My eating supports my overall health and wholeness, not just my waistline.
