Watch this short video to find out!
Intuitive Eating is a one-size-fits-YOU approach.
No fads. No fasting.
Just a no-nonsense way to the healthiest version of YOU!
Are you ready to:
➔ End the chronic weight loss/regain cycle?
➔ Stop overeating & vowing to “start over” tomorrow?
➔ Regain trust in your body's internal cues?
➔ Stop using food to cope with negative emotions?
➔ And FINALLY END THE WAR with food & your body?
If you answered YES, then I'm really glad you're here!
Hi, I’m Cindy, RDH, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor and Body Image Coach. I'm on a mission to help women end the weight loss/regain cycle of chronic dieting to get to & maintain their healthiest weight without obsessing, counting & tracking.
A life free of restriction, obsessive thoughts about food and yo-yo weight cycling is totally possible and you deserve that freedom!
Does any of this sound familiar?
➔ You "do good" all week, then eat "all the things" on the weekend and vow to "start over" on Monday.
➔ You've tried all the "get skinny quick" schemes only to gain even more weight.
➔ The number on the scale can dictate how you feel and what you eat that day.
➔ Thoughts about food & your body take up SO much mental energy.
➔ You engage in tons of negative self-talk about food and your body.
➔ You've struggled with binge eating & feel you can't control yourself around certain foods.
➔ You feel like you have dieted for your entire life, losing & regaining the weight, maybe more.
➔ You're tired of counting calories, picking apart your flaws, and obsessing about what to eat.
➔ The idea of giving up dieting feels scary and intimidating, but also exciting.
I promise, you are not broken, and freedom IS possible!
Want to know why the restrictive diets you've already tried DIDN'T work?
Restrictive diets don't work because:
➔ The human body responds to food restriction (intentional or unintentional) by seeing it as a dangerous threat.
➔ To combat restriction, your body slows down your metabolism, serves up obsessive thoughts of food and increases hunger to keep you alive.
➔ This increased hunger and desire for food is often what leads to binge eating and rebound weight gain.
➔ Regaining the weight leads to feelings of failure & guilt and a resolve to start a new diet. And the cycle continues...
This program will help you end the diet cycle & learn how to:
➔ Honor your body’s hunger, fullness and satisfaction cues to keep your body fueled and prevent overeating.
➔ Create a healthy, sustainable relationship with food & your body that makes you feel your best mentally & physically.
➔ Trust yourself around all types of food, without fear or feeling out of control.
➔ Free your mind from obsessive & restrictive thoughts, and find a healthy, balanced approach to eating and exercise.
You didn't fail...the diet failed YOU!
Every year science continues to confirm our worst suspicions about dieting...
95% of people who lose weight from restrictive dieting gain it back in 2-5 years.
Two-thirds of those people will regain more than they started with.
Imagine for a minute...
- The ease of simply eating when you're hungry and stopping when full.
- Feeling free to eat all the foods, without guilt, in accordance with your body’s cues.
- Spending social gatherings focused on enjoying yourself, not calories.
- Keeping ANY foods you enjoy in the house and trusting yourself fully around them.
- Finally feeling in control around food and stopping the binge/restrict cycle.
- Being able to process emotions like boredom, anxiety or sadness without turning to food.
- Having the mental energy to think about things beyond food and your body.
- Confidently showing up in every area of your life, prioritizing what truly matters and reaching your potential because nothing is holding you back.

Your Intuitive Eater is in there!
That part of you just got hijacked by a diet culture that taught you not to trust your inner wisdom and instead, to follow external rules about how you "should" eat.
Whether you struggle with emotional eating, binge eating, negative body image or are simply sick & tired of dieting & having stress around food rule your life, going on another diet is NOT the answer!
In my Intuitive Eating Academy Online Course, you'll work through the 10 principles of Intuitive Eating and be fully equipped with the tools and skills to break free from the diet cycle for good.
So, what makes Intuitive Eating so much more effective than dieting?
The Pitfalls of Dieting:
➔ Dieting is all about forcing change from the outside in with restriction and rules that have proven to fail to produce lasting, sustainable results.
➔ Creates an adversarial relationship with food, fostering increased cravings and the belief that you're being "good" or "bad" based on what you eat.
➔ Promotes future weight gain by slowing down your metabolism so when normal eating resumes, the body gains weight faster than prior to dieting.
➔ Fosters feelings of failure, guilt & shame leading to lower levels of confidence, self-esteem, and poor body image.
The Upside of Intuitive Eating:
➔ Intuitive Eating supports lasting change from the inside out by reconnecting to your innate cues and the nutritional & emotional needs of your mind & body.
➔ Creates a peaceful & pleasurable relationship with food, leading to balanced eating habits & eliminates the drive to eat large quantities of any one food.
➔ Promotes weight stability by keeping your body fueled throughout the day by responding to internal cues which stimulates your metabolism.
➔ Fosters feelings of satisfaction and well-being leading to improved body image, self-esteem, and overall health.
These benefits are possible for you no matter how long you've been on the diet rollercoaster!
Intuitive Eating is SO much more than just "not dieting."
There is a lot of incomplete information about what Intuitive Eating is.
If you’ve been learning about Intuitive Eating from social media, it’s easy to get the idea that it’s simply “not dieting" and eating whatever the hell you want. Wrong!
In reality, Intuitive Eating is...
➔ All about rebuilding trust, awareness, and connection with your body.
➔ An evidence-based practice with more than 200 studies to date.
➔ Having unconditional permission to eat in attunement with your body's internal cues.
➔ A process to genuinely improve your health and well-being (physically, mentally and emotionally).
➔ A sustainable, life-long way of eating that ends the chronic diet-binge-guilt cycle.
Here's more great news!
Research shows that Intuitive Eating ...
➔ Fosters improved body image.
➔ Improves life satisfaction & self-esteem.
➔ Increases motivation for movement.
➔ Increases intake of nutritious foods.
➔ Improves overall health, including decreasing blood pressure and cholesterol.
➔ Decreases loss-of-control eating and binge eating.
➔ Fosters optimism & overall well-being.
➔ Enhances coping skills.
In my Intuitive Eating Academy online course, I'll walk you through everything you need to know to fully understand, internalize and apply the principles of Intuitive Eating to your life.
The Intuitive Eating Academy online program will help you...
Rebuild a healthy, uncomplicated relationship with ALL foods
All foods have a place in a healthy lifestyle.
When you stop restricting & labeling foods as "bad" or "off-limits", the heightened desire to overindulge greatly diminishes and you'll begin to eat in a more balanced, intuitive way.
Develop a mindset & behaviors that support lasting change
A diet mindset leads to guilt and out of control behaviors around food when rules are broken.
Breaking free from diet mentality thinking will allow you to shift toward healthy, sustainable behaviors that support lasting change.
End the restrictive eating habits that lead to binge eating
Food restriction sets off a natural, biological drive to eat.
Understanding & listening to your body's cues to keep your body fueled with satisfying meals and snacks is the antidote to prevent chaotic eating episodes.
Make intuitive food decisions that honor both health & pleasure
Intuitive Eating is all about enjoying foods that honor your taste buds and your body.
This leads to more pleasurable eating experiences and less obsessive cravings after meals that are unsatisfying.
Improve your overall body image and self-care practices
Say goodbye to judgment & self-sabotage!
Improving body image begins with treating your body with the care & respect it deserves and honoring your health with exercise that feels good.
Navigate emotional eating & engage with "forbidden" foods without overeating
When you learn healthy coping strategies, you are able to manage negative emotions without using food and have the tools to engage with previously "forbidden" foods without overeating them.
And what about 3 COMMON MYTHS that will keep you from having a healthy relationship with food & your body.
"I need to avoid certain foods in order to maintain a healthy weight."
Nope...in fact, the opposite is true!
Restriction leads to feelings of deprivation; deprivation leads to intense cravings that become harder to resist and ultimately leads to overeating or binge eating foods you've been restricting and labeled as "bad".
"I need a diet that will help me lose weight for good to be healthy & happy."
Don't be fooled by the false hype!
The majority of dieters (at least 95 percent) regain everything they lost and then some within three years. Yo-yo dieting is linked to heart disease, insulin resistance, higher blood pressure, inflammation, and, ironically, long-term weight gain.
"If only I had more willpower, I would be able to lose weight and keep it off."
Studies have proven that diets do not lead to long-term weight loss.
NOT because dieters have less willpower. Weight regain after a diet is a predictable response to changes in metabolism, hormone response, & faulty thought patterns caused by dieting.
