A few days ago, I ate lunch at 10:00 AM. A very filling, substantial lunch at that! I’ve noticed that ever since I had a baby, different routines in my day have been gradually moving up (including bedtime after a busy day with a toddler!) A couple years ago there is no way I would […]
Introducing new foods to babies can be a fun experience- but it can also be stressful at times! Especially stressful when introducing some of the top allergens.

I have noticed a very common pattern when talking with people about their food choices, whether I am working directly with clients or just in conversation with friends/others. People can be so hard on themselves when it comes to their eating habits! I hear of people putting post-it notes up with negative messages to remind […]

A 13-year-old, a 20-year-old, a 53-year-old, and a 67-year-old. These are the ages of 4 women. A spectrum of age, yet all had a similar message. They despise their bodies.
