But this wasn’t always my story…

I didn't always have a good relationship with food or my body. Out of high school, I moved away to University where I quickly developed an eating disorder that lasted 6 years. My body became the enemy and food a tool for control. I spiralled into a destructive restrict/binge/purge cycle that had me feeling trapped, frustrated, and completely stuck all while blaming myself for a lack of willpower. 

Throughout my life, I’ve had my fair share of arbitrary food rules and dieting attempts. I’ve obsessed over macros, counted calories and made my good food vs. bad food lists. I’ve “eaten clean”, taken diet pills and done intermittent fasting. I was even a bootcamp fitness instructor for 3.5 years and coached on weight loss. 

Throughout all of this, I struggled with an eating disorder. 

So for a long time, micromanaging my food and body gave me a sense of control. It wasn’t until I discovered intuitive eating that I realized my attempts to control were actually controlling me. I got to the point where the fear of staying the same was greater than the fear of moving forward. I let go of the rules, got really curious, and gave myself a lot of space to rediscover what living a life well-nourished meant to me.

Where you are now, I've been there too. 

Through my own recovery, my education, personal research and the additional courses I've taken on body image, counselling strategies, and eating disorders, I'm here to teach you everything I know and help you find peace from your struggles with food and body image once and for all.

I started The Food Freedom Life because I wanted to help others rediscover a joyful love of food. I made it my mission to become a Dietitian who could help women take back their power from food and become their most authentic selves through food freedom and intuitive eating in a safe, inclusive space where all bodies are welcome.
