I spent over 10 years working in hospitals and outpatient care, sitting with people at their most overwhelmed moments. I learned quickly that the biggest barriers to healing weren’t a lack of information, but a lack of mental energy, support, and autonomy.

​

At the same time, I watched how often assumptions about body size shaped conversations before a person even opened their mouth. I saw weight bias impact care. I saw people believing their bodies were the problem instead of chronic stress, mixed messaging, and a healthcare system that rarely considers whether change is genuinely realistic for someone.

​

So I built my work around a simple belief: people deserve care that supports their mental health, their decision-making capacity, and their actual ability to follow through on food and movement changes without shame attached to their body.

​

My approach centers emotional stability, executive functioning, access to resources, personal season of life. Because improving nutrition shouldn’t feel harder than the rest of someone’s recovery journey, and health risk is not the same thing as human worth.

​

That’s why I do this. To make food feel easier. To make care feel human. To make healing feel possible in any size body.
