"I laughed through an entire meal with my best friends last weekend, and I didn't think about calories once."
I am VERY Type A. I LOVE my weekend runs, and I thought I was doing good with my food rules. But if I ate more than I thought I should, I would feel guilty and frustrated because I didn't have enough willpower to stop. I even made excuses not to join my friends for brunch after a run because I was afraid that I would eat too much.
After working with Cindy, I was ordering exactly what I wanted, without the guilt. I laughed through a whole meal with my best friends one weekend—and didn’t think about calories once.
Now, food is just food. And my relationships—and my weekends—feel lighter than they have in years..

"I ate pizza!!!!!"
As a fellow sporty girl, Cindy totally understood my food battles. I’m a long-time runner, and I tracked every single bite. High school Coaches were always telling me that I needed to eat less, be smaller, so that message always stuck in my brain. I was terrified that letting go would mean gaining weight.
When we started working together, we focused on three things: letting go of food guilt, rebuilding body trust, and moving for joy instead of punishment.
One night, I ate pizza—and I cried from relief.
I wish I had started working with her sooner!

"I love the Hunger Fullness Scale"
The Intuitive Eating concepts have helped me define things I had been feeling by putting into words how to think about my fullness in a way that is new to me. I love the Hunger Fullness Scale to visualize what I am feeling vs when it is time to stop eating. This has been a great tool for me to help change my relationship with food.

"This is a total game-changer for me!"
I was a former bikini athlete with my macros dialed to the gram. On the outside, I looked disciplined. On the inside, I was exhausted. I knew Intuitive Eating in theory, but every time I tried, I’d run right back to tracking and rigid rules.
A few weeks later, my scales were packed away, and I was eating food that I had been missing. I also realized I didn’t even like half the foods on my “perfect” plan! Now I choose what I truly enjoy, eat without overthinking, and move because it feels good!

"And now, I eat the damn croissant!"
Every time I passed a bakery, I felt this mix of longing and panic. If I bought the croissant, I’d spend the rest of the day negotiating with myself—what to skip, how much to work out, how to “make up” for it. It was exhausting. If I kept on walking, I would think about the croissant and want it even more the next morning!
Cindy really listened to my struggles and helped me unravel what was going on in my brain. In other words, she made me feel like I wasn't food crazy! Just knowing that I wasn't alone made me feel like there was hope.

"Now I move because I want to, not because I have to burn calories, and it feels amazing!!!!!!"
Learning about Intuitive Eating changed my life! For years, I tied my workouts to what I ate. Dessert meant extra miles. Bread (if I even touched it!) at dinner meant an extra spin class the next morning. I told myself it was about “balance,” but really, I was punishing myself for eating anything I thought was “bad”.
