Question 1

🧁 Will I gain or lose weight with intuitive eating?

Accepted Answer

Maybe! You're adopting a new way of eating, and your body might change through this process. But you’ll learn that your wellness (and confidence) is rarely dependent on your size.

Question 2

🧠 I already have a therapist. Will intuitive eating coaching be overkill?

Accepted Answer

Nope! Many of my clients work with me and their mental health team. You and I get to focus on the food-based stuff: mindset work, eating intuitively, observing what you're eating and changing your food rules and restriction. Coaching, by no means replaces, but is a great compliment to traditional therapy, IMO.

Question 3

🥑 What's included in your recommendations?

Accepted Answer

You'll receive period protocols from me. These are a series of customized and targeted food, supplement and lifestyle recommendations, specifically catered to your health goals.

Question 4

🍟 What if I just end up eating "junk food" forever?

Accepted Answer

You definitely won’t! This is a common fear when letting go of food rules. Your body knows what it needs for fuel and when you're able to actually respond to those requests, you’ll crave what you need to sustain yourself. Sometimes that’s cookies, most times it’s not!

Question 5

🥐 Can I try intuitive eating if I have health issues or dietary restrictions (i.e. celiac)?

Accepted Answer

This process is, most importantly, a mindset shift where you choose to honour your body and it’s needs.
 
We have taken this into consideration when creating the Foundations course, and we’ll make any tweaks/substitutions necessary in your 1:1 consults to account for non-negotiable dietary restrictions.

If you have any health issues, it's important to check with your doctor before beginning any wellness course or working with a nutritional practitioner.

Question 6

🧠 I’m not sure which phase I belong in. How do I choose?

Accepted Answer

Totally normal. You're not supposed to know exactly where you're at—that’s what I’m here for. You can book a free call and we’ll talk through it together. No pressure. Just a chance to see if we make a good fit.

Question 7

💬 Do I have to start with the course before working 1:1?

Accepted Answer

Nope! If you’re ready for 1:1 support, you’re welcome to jump right in. Plus, you can add-on any service at any time. So you get the support you need, when you need it most.

Question 8

💸 Are your services covered by my insurance?

Accepted Answer

My services may be approved under your extended benefits coverage. Confirm coverage for holistic nutritionists registered through the International Organization of Nutritional Consultants. They may want to know that I'm a Registered Orthomolecular Health Practitioner and ask for my registration number (available upon request).

Question 9

💛 I'm on a strict budget. Do you offer discounts?

Accepted Answer

Sliding scale pricing is available and reserved for students, artists and those impacted by systemic socio-economic oppression.

Question 10

📚 How much time will I need to spend each week on the course?

Accepted Answer

The course is 100% self-paced, so you get to integrate in your own time. We also make suggestions for how to structure your learning to stay accountable to your goals. Generally, I’d recommend planning for 30-60 minutes per week with the lessons, and 15 minutes per day on self care/homework.

Question 11

🔁 Can I move between phases?

Accepted Answer

Yes. In fact, most of my clients do. The framework is flexible—if you start with intuitive eating and later want wellness support, we evolve together. If we're focused on nutrition, and you want to refresh your intuitive eating skills, we pivot to support your journey.

Question 12

🍋 Do these programs include nutrition recommendations or meal plans?

Accepted Answer

You will learn how to make balanced and nourishing choices that will fuel your body. But I don't do rigid meal plans (go figure). You learn how to meal plan as an intuitive eater, so that you're always honouring your cravings AND your busy schedule.
