Our Specialties
What We Do
Virtual support is easy and effective. Research shows it is equally as effective as working with a dietitian in-person.
We offer inclusive choose-your-own fee pricing. Check out the Application page for more info!
Being a woman means we are more likely to struggle to find time for self-care (because we are busy taking care of others!), and we are more likely to feel guilty when we do take time for ourselves. Stress and anxiety can greatly exacerbate symptoms of hormonal imbalance as we age, and disordered eating and body image concerns are getting more common among women over 35.
Let's unapologetically prioritize self-care and self-compassion.
