Intuitive Eating & Body Neutrality
“Intuitive Eating is about cultivating a healthy relationship with food, mind, and body.”
-Evelyn Tribole & Elyse Resch
What is Intuitive Eating?
Intuitive Eating is a feminist framework that embraces body and food neutrality over diet and wellness culture. Body attunement is used to re-learn how to eat using internal hunger and satiation cues.
Intuitive Eating has shown to reduce disordered eating behaviors such as bingeing and purging. When foods are no longer categorized as either “good” or “bad,” there is more space for flexibility, curiosity, and self-compassion.
Whether you have been struggling with an eating disorder for years, or are interested in improving your relationship with food, our work can utilize Intuitive Eating principals to create a safe environment to explore and challenge long-held beliefs surrounding food, eating, body, and health.

Support around GLP-1 medication decisions (including choosing not to use them)
GLP-1 medications (such as Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro) are increasingly common—nearly one in eight American adults has tried one. These drugs can influence appetite, blood sugar, and digestion, and may also bring side effects like nausea, fatigue, or mood changes.
The emotional and relational impacts can be complex, affecting body image, eating patterns, and connection with others. Therapy offers space to explore these experiences and support choices that feel grounded and aligned with your well-being—whether or not you choose to use these medications.
