Are you stuck bingeing or overeating, thinking about food 24/7, feeling stuck with food guilt & shame, or struggle with negative body image thoughts? I'm a Registered Dietitian and before I discovered Intuitive Eating, I never thought a "normal" relationship with food was possible. I thought I would always be fighting cravings, bingeing, constantly thinking about food, and hating my body.

If this is YOU, I want you to know you are not alone and there is a way out.
