I do not use diets with my clients for weight loss. When you deny yourself the energy and nutrients that your body needs, it begins to conserve and store fat. Within a few days, you binge, having felt denied of foods that you find satisfying. And the cycle repeats itself. Diets have a beginning and an end. Once the diet is over, we tend to go back to old habits.

I use a slow, steady and balanced approach, teaching each client how to substitute healthier foods for ones that may not be supporting their nutritional needs. Changing old habits is difficult, but over time, our minds and bodies begin to work together to demand healthier foods. I have seen it happen over and over again. The mind may say “…I had a hard day at work today, I need and deserve ice cream tonight.”

Regardless of what the body needs, our minds often overpower the wisdom of our bodies. As we work together, you will learn how to hear and act on, what your body is saying. As the mind begins to pay attention to the body, old habits die and new, healthier ones are created. These techniques support permanent change, allowing you to let go of old habits and adopt new ones that better suit your long-term health goals.
