Not a one-size-fits-all therapist.

Diet culture has been lying to us for decades and honestly we're tired 😮‍💨

From the scale being treated like a report card to "What I Eat In A Day" videos that are just restriction with good lighting — it's a lot to unlearn. Your body isn't the problem. The messaging is.
