Fall in love with food again
Our mission
We teach all-or-nothing thinkers how to find a peaceful and balanced relationship with food and their bodies. Our goal is to help you achieve deep health – the kind you can feel in every cell of your body and every fragment of your mind. We believe you have more to offer the world than a lifetime of trying to manipulate your body into alignment with unrealistic beauty standards and misguided pictures of heath.
A message from the founder
Our why
I grew up in a home where scratch cooking and family meals were the norm. My parents weren’t chronic dieters and weight loss wasn’t a common topic of discussion in my house or my friend group.
My grandmother – an Italian immigrant and amazing home cook – sparked in me a passion for good food and an appreciation for its powerful ability to connect us through tradition. This was my normal, and I didn’t realize how uncommon it was until my rotation on the eating disorder unit as part of my dietetic training.
While I don’t know what it’s like to live with an eating disorder, I feel for those that struggle to find peace with food and their bodies. It can be such a long and tough road to recovery; one that requires a great deal of bravery, vulnerability, and perseverance.
I think there is a lot of truth behind the saying that we are the product of the people we spend the most time with. And those who show me how to be brave, how to be vulnerable, and how to persevere are just the crowd I want to hang with.
I do this work because I believe that the meaning of life is to help others find the meaning in theirs. It’s hard to live up to your full potential when you are caught up in the grips of diet culture. It lights me up to help you discover that there can be so much MORE to life.
Yours in wellness,
