Nutrition education
& Psychoeducation
Let's face it: we have NOT been set up for success when it comes to understanding the needs of our brain and body, much less in understanding how to actually meet those needs in ways that aren't steeped in misinformation and "one-size-fits-all" rhetorics. That's why we are passionate about offering evidence-based nutrition education and psychoeducation, so you can feel better equipped both understanding and meeting your own systems needs.
Knowledge is
power
Before we can start creating healthier patterns in our life, we often need to obtain a level of understanding for where we are already at; as well as how to move forward in more informed, and intentional ways.
That's why we spend time building strong foundations with our clients, whether that be diving into nutrition education and/or psychoeducation together.
Our nutrition education and meal planning support is focused on helping you achieve more meaningful and sustainable health goals, such as improving your energy, mood stability, strength, digestion, mental health, or whatever else may matter to you. For this reason, we are food and weight-neutral, shifting gears away from "weight loss" and onto "overall health". We will dive into the "foundations" of nutrition, as well as break down why balanced eating matters. We will discuss how balanced eating may look for your lifestyle, and strategize around ways to make it feel sustainable and realistic for you. Ultimately, we recognize the importance of meeting our brain and bodies needs in balanced ways; as well as the need for each individual to find a way to meet these needs in a manner that matches them uniquely. Our goal is to help you insight more confidence and autonomy in your own nourishment and self-care practices.
Our psychoeducation spends time discussing the nervous system and regulation, how unprocessed trauma and emotional suppression can effect our physical health, the importance of cultivating self-compassion and self-acceptance, and so much more. We know that if we want to begin seeing changes in our (mental) health, whether it be experiencing less crippling anxiety or more joy and acceptance, we often need to spend time better understanding our baseline state through a lense of non-judgement and acceptance. Understanding the workings of our inner systems can do just that. It is a lot easier to stop judging your anxiety, or depression, when you begin understanding them from different, less stigmatized or pathologized, angles.
