Food Freedom + Nutrition for Mental Wellness
I'm Joanna.
I'm a somatic dietitian who provides virtual person-centered nutrition therapy and coaching.
My focus is helping clients arrive at food, movement, and body peace- so they can focus on their lives and purpose.
I support clients in returning to their intuition around food while providing evidence-based nutrition support for mental wellness + mental health.
Because joy starts with a healthy brain.
Hi there!
What's a somatic nutritionist?
A somatic dietitian integrates evidence-based nutrition therapy with your own body awareness, wisdom, and intuition to help you heal your relationships with food, body, and movement.
​
Rather than focusing only on what you eat, this approach explores:
-
how you eat
-
why you eat
-
how your body feels in the process.
​​
It acknowledges that food, emotions, and the body are deeply interconnected—and that sustainable change happens when we learn to listen to and trust our body’s cues.
​
As a mental health nutrition specialist, we also focus on helping you understand how mindset, embodiment, food, supplements, and self-care impact the brain and your mental wellness.
​Dietitians can support you to:
-
gain understanding of body and needs
-
decrease food anxiety, emotional eating, and cravings
-
end binge eating and restriction
-
decrease body image distress
-
decrease perimenopause symptoms
-
identify supportive routines and rituals
-
identify healthy habits in line with your values, energy, and time
-
connect you hunger and fullness
-
nourish the gut
-
lower inflammation
-
halt unwanted weight gain and improve metabolic health
-
find a meal planning system that works
-
increase self-compassion and eliminate food guilt
