What exactly is intuitive eating?

Intuitive eating is a non-diet approach to health that helps you rebuild trust with your body. Instead of counting calories or restricting certain foods, we focus on honoring hunger, respecting fullness, and finding satisfaction in eating again. It’s evidence-based, compassionate, and flexible.

Is this just another way to lose weight?

Nope. While some people’s weight may shift, intuitive eating is not a weight loss program. The goal is to support your overall health and well-being—physically, mentally, and emotionally—without tying your worth to a number on the scale.

Will I just eat donuts all day if I stop restricting?

It might feel that way at first (especially if you’ve been depriving yourself), but over time, your body will crave a variety of foods—including fruits, vegetables, and balanced meals. Together, we’ll work through that process so food feels both free and satisfying—not chaotic.

Can I still focus on health and nutrition?

Absolutely. While one component of intuitive eating is unconditional permission to eat, gentle nutrition is a key principle. We’ll look at ways to support your health without falling back into restrictive patterns. That might mean adding heart-healthy fats, getting more fiber, or finding meals that actually keep you full and energized.

What kind of support do you provide?

For personalized support, we offer 1:1 counseling, where we explore your relationship with food, body image, and health habits. We also offer live classes and online support through our Full Plate community.

Who is this for?

This work is for you if:

• You’re tired of tracking, restricting, or obsessing over food
• You’ve tried every diet and nothing seems to work
• You want to model a healthier relationship with food for your kids
• You’re ready to stop fighting your body and start listening to it

Do you work with specific health conditions?

Yes. We support clients managing conditions like high cholesterol, diabetes, and PCOS—especially when they want to improve their health without going back to dieting. We also offer referrals to intuitive eating certified dietitians for complex medical cases.

What if I’ve tried intuitive eating before and it didn’t work?

That’s okay. Many people need support to move through the deeper layers—like the fear of weight gain, emotional eating patterns, or the lingering “good food/bad food” mentality. You don’t have to figure it out alone this time.

Will I lose weight?

Maybe. Maybe not. With intuitive eating, weight is no longer the goal—healing is. Some people lose weight when they become attuned with their bodies’ needs, some maintain, and some gain. The focus is on creating sustainable habits, improving your relationship with food, and supporting your body’s natural set point where it feels safe and nourished.

How long does this process take?

That depends on your history with dieting, your goals, and how deeply rooted your food rules are. Some people feel major shifts in just a few sessions; others take longer to unlearn years of restriction. This isn’t a quick fix—it’s a lasting one. You’ll be supported every step of the way.
