I love to work with fellow moms, helping them to choose healthy habits over restrictions every day. I feel it’s a really important part of my job, and here’s why. Every time we look in the mirror and say, “I need to work out more before I can eat the cake”, and our children walk [...]
Intuitive eating, at its most basic level, is all about just eating when you're hungry and stopping when you're full.

I want to talk to you a little bit this month about diets and why I class myself as an Anti-Diet Nutrition Coach. I probably haven't spoken about it as clearly or explained it to you. But, in this blog I want to share with you my reasons and my logic behind choosing this approach [...]
