You know what to do, but you still can’t lose weight…

You know exactly what to do, and yet, you aren’t losing weight…

Why? Because knowing what to do is not the same thing as doing it - consistently.

Weight loss is 80% psychological (understanding the motivation behind your behaviors) and 20% what you eat.

You know what to do to lose weight:

✅ Eat more vegetables
✅ Move your body
✅ Sleep 7-9 hours
✅ Drink water
✅ Manage portions

But if knowing what to do was the problem, Google would have helped you reach your weight loss goal by now.

The REAL struggle is doing it - consistently - especially when stress is high, motivation is low, emotions are heavy, and/or life feels chaotic (and let’s be real - when does it not!?)

This is why psychology is everything. Because in order to successfully reach your sustainable weight loss goal you need to have the tools/skills to:

✨ Manage stress without food
✨ Adhere to habits when motivation is MIA
✨ Choose 1% better over perfection
✨ Shift your identity to match the version of you you want to become
✨ Build resilience to keep going after setbacks

This is why 1:1 Nutrition Coaching is so powerful.

It’s not just about handing you a meal plan or prescribing macros.

It’s about teaching you how to:

💡 Think differently about food and your body
💡 Navigate real life challenges that can derail your habits
💡 Show up for yourself, and in alignment with your values, even on the hardest days
💡 Feel confident in your ability to create lasting change

Imagine feeling capable, confident, and in control – because you’ve addressed the true driver of change: your mindset.

If you’re reading this and thinking, “This is exactly where I get stuck”, it might be time to invest in the missing piece:

your mindset and lasting behavior change.

APPLY for 1:1 coaching today and let’s build a strategy that works with your life every day – not just on “ideal” days.

A Nutrition Coach, adoptive mom, dog mom, and mint chocolate chip ice cream lover.

I didn’t always have this business: the Masters degree in Nutrition Science and Public Health, the passion, the clients... in fact, years ago you could have found me endlessly counting calories and trying to find my worth on the scale and at spin class, exhausted in my pursuit of (what I thought was) health and happiness.

In my early twenties, I struggled with crash dieting and disordered eating. Little did I know, those circumstances would be my one-way ticket out of my restrictive relationship with food & fitness. Those experiences led me here: to the life-giving, sustainable, habit-based nutrition philosophy I embody today. Today you can find me living life without a calorie counting app and spending time with my husband, one year old son, and our two crazy golden retriever pups.

I enjoy spending my free time reading, sipping on matcha lattes, and dreaming of ways I can help other women create healthy, confident relationships with food without selling their souls to food rules and calorie counting apps.

Because nothing lights me up more than helping women live full and vibrant lives without food fear, rules, or restriction. I want to be that permission granter in your life that whispers: “you really can do this” while the rest of the world continues to settle for short-term satisfaction.
