NUTRITION COUNSELING SERVICES

Intuitive Eating & Anti-Diet

We all have the innate ability to eat intuitively. With unconditional permission to eat food without judgment, you can take the power back and learn to feed your body in a way that supports you physically and emotionally. We’re here to guide you throughout the process of ditching diet mentality and discovering nourishment, enjoyment, and peace with food and body.

We believe that:

  • Food can be more than just nourishment. It can be love, culture, connection, comfort, pleasure, joy, and more.
  • We all have the innate ability to eat intuitively. With unconditional permission to eat food without judgment, you can take the power back and learn to feed your body in a way that supports you both physically and emotionally.
  • Lifelong nourishment requires an understanding of how your relationship with food has developed throughout your life. Together, we will build upon the parts that serve you well and let go of parts that don’t.
  • You are the expert of your body! We’re here to help and support you in discovering how to nourish it in a way that works best for you.
  • Weight stigma is a barrier to health access. Promoting health equity means creating supportive environments where people of all body sizes are treated with dignity and have access to quality care.

Testimonial

“I’ve had a wonderful experience working with Valentina. Her empathetic and non-judgmental approach, combined with her vast knowledge of nutrition, has made a huge difference for me. She truly listens and works with me to adapt recommendations to fit my actual lifestyle. I always understood during our sessions. While I’m still on my journey, I have made some noticeable progress. I’ve gone from dreading exercise to valuing movement and recognizing how good it can actually feel. I’m still working on this shift, but with her guidance, I’m becoming more mindful about my eating and movement habits. I enjoy a wider variety of vegetables now and I’m more confident in my skills. Valentina’s expertise and ongoing support have been invaluable, and I’m so grateful to have her by my side as I continue to grow.”

It influences what children believe about food and their bodies as they grow. Here’s a dietitian-approved tip to promote positive relationships with food early on.
