Faith Based Nutrition Counseling
Looking for some individual support with food struggles?
I am here to help! As a follower of Jesus and highly trained nutrition expert (Registered Dietitian), I can help you improve your health in a variety of ways including your eating habits and patterns, nutrition related health problems**, physical activity, and your relationship with food and your body.
I can tailor our nutrition services from a Christian perspective. While I am not an expert in theology and we do not have a Bible degree, I have the confidence and faith in what the Lord says to us about food and our bodies.
Here’s a little more about my nutrition counseling philosophies:
Be loved
You are His beloved! God made no mistakes when He made your body. We’re constantly bombarded with messages from the media and from even our health care professionals that health is only possible if and when weight loss occurs. It’s simply not true. We’ve scoured the scientific literature, and there are many studies that have found that health outcomes can improve without losing a single ounce.
Research also shows that restricting food and calories to lose weight backfires. It usually results in weight gain and disordered eating. Therefore, our counseling is geared towards helping you heal your relationship with food.
We can talk grocery shopping, meal planning, and how to eat in a way that’s both nourishing and pleasurable. At the same time, I want to help you feel confident and radiant in your body. We were made in His image, and I want to help you see yourself as God sees you – fearfully and wonderfully made!
Be accepted
Negative body image affects all of us. In fact, folks at all weights suffer from poor self image. We live in a world full of judgment and shame where beauty is often defined by the scale. Not at BodyBLoved. We believe that beauty, health, and holiness is much more than a pants size. We use what is known as a non-diet approach to support you in finding health and well-being.
I take the focus of the scale and instead help you tune into your body’s cues. You’ll learn to recognize the many signals your body gives you all day long that can guide you in your eating choices and meal timing. Through individually tailored sessions you’ll discover how to become a mindful eater.
Judgement, guilt, and shame are not good motivators. You’ll find no condemnation here.
Be free
I will help guide you in becoming free of exercise, food, body and weight obsessions so you can focus on God’s calling in your life. Weather you are struggling with an eating disorder or have been a yo-yo dieter your whole life I welcome the opportunity to work with you to provide you with evidence-based healing and spiritual truth so you can walk into that freedom!
