Nutrition Therapy & Recovery Coaching
Nutrition Therapy
If we truly listened to our body – ate when we were hungry and stopped when we were full – most of us would be at a healthy weight. Hard to believe? Think about a newborn. When they are hungry, they cry and when they are full, they push away from the bottle or the nipple. Most babies can follow their healthy growth curve. For many, the ability to truly listen to hunger and fullness has been inhibited by busy schedules, stress and emotions, availability of certain foods, and a simple lack of nutritional knowledge. No matter your reason for struggling with weight, body image, and other nutritional concerns, let us help guide you back to our body’s natural capabilities.
We tailor your individual needs based on the understanding that everyone has different nutritional needs and goals. Whether it be sports nutrition, gastrointestinal issues, disordered eating, diabetes, or other medical issues – our team of experienced Registered Dietitians can help formulate the right plan that fits you.
Our Nutrition Therapy services address client’s specific physical and emotional needs, behaviors, and symptoms through:
- Promoting a non-diet approach and intuitive eating for long-term recovery
- Exploring the deeper connection between food and feelings, and the underlying issues behind choosing to use food for emotional support, repressing feelings or self-harming behaviors
- Developing a new way of eating, separating food and feelings, and changing one’s relationship with food
- Reconnecting with the body and identifying hunger cues versus emotional eating triggers
- Learning to implement mindful eating techniques, listen to the body, and develop a more positive connection with food
