I am a Clinical Psychologist and Nutrition Coach, so apart from providing you with qualified nutritional advice, I work with techniques based on CBT and DBT to address the psychological side of eating.
It is completely individual
The program includes 2 modules, that focus on healing your relationship with food and finding a new balance in your life to help you stop binge eating and still lose weight (if that is your goal). We decide together with each client, which module is most appropriate for them and adapt it to their individual needs and preferences.
it teaches INDEPENDENCE
I teach you all the skills you need to stay at your feel-good weight in the future without my help, so you will never have to pay for another diet coach.
It includes DEEP WORK
We will look closely at any underlying emotional struggles that have stopped you from having a healthy relationship with food and with your body in the past.

This will depend on your goals, the time you can dedicate between sessions to practice new skills and implement changes, the support systems you have in place and where your relationship with food currently stands. During the initial consultation, you can decide if you want to purchase single sessions or packs of 4 sessions at a discounted price.
It depends. If you are currently struggling with binge eating or are recovering from an eating disorder, we will work first on transforming your relationship with food, before we get to the weight loss and the weight maintenance phase. This is because dieting inherently involves restriction, and when clients try to restrict their eating it often sets them up to binge more. After they have successfully overcome any issues related to mindset, emotional eating, binge eating etc. many clients actually lose weight unintentionally. If you still want to lose more weight/keep improving your health, we will move to the next part of the program, which focuses on making small changes in your daily habits, in order for you to lose weight in a healthy and enjoyable way.
I hold two master’s degrees, one in Clinical Psychology and Psychotherapy and another in Cognitive Behavorial Psychology. Apart from that, I am Precision Nutrition L1 certified in exercise nutrition.
No, but I will walk you through how to make one for yourself step by step, if you feel like a meal plan would make your life easier. This way you can use this skill for the rest of your life. I also don’t provide any detailed workout programs.
As with almost all coaching programs, this is an out-of-pocket investment and is not typically covered under any traditional health insurance.
