Frequently Asked Questions

Trauma-informed coaching acknowledges that past trauma can impact eating behaviors, body image, and self-care. I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental approach that helps you understand emotional eating, heal your relationship with food, and develop sustainable habits without shame or guilt.

Unlike typical diet plans that focus solely on calories and exercise, I address the emotional, psychological, and behavioral aspects of eating. My goal is to help you cultivate self-awareness, regulate emotions, and create a balanced approach to food and body care that lasts long-term.

No, I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all meal plans. Instead, I help you develop a flexible, intuitive approach to eating that works for your lifestyle, preferences, and emotional well-being. We focus on nourishing your body rather than restricting it.

My coaching is ideal for anyone who:
• Struggles with emotional eating, binge eating, or yo-yo dieting
• Feels stuck in a cycle of guilt, shame, or self-sabotage around food
• Wants a compassionate, sustainable approach to long-term weight management
• Has experienced trauma and recognizes its impact on their relationship with food and their body
Trauma can lead to emotional eating as a way to self-soothe, numb emotions, or regain a sense of control. Stress, anxiety, and unresolved emotional wounds can influence cravings, bingeing, and an inability to maintain consistent healthy habits. My approach helps you address these root causes, so you no longer feel controlled by food.
Yes! We will work together to identify your triggers, develop coping strategies, and create a healthier response to stress that doesn’t involve food. You’ll learn mindful eating techniques and self-regulation skills to break the binge-restrict cycle.
Not unless you want to. My approach is focused on helping you recognize how past experiences may be influencing your current behaviors. You are always in control of how much you share, and we work at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you.
Most diets fail because they don’t address the emotional and behavioral aspects of eating. My approach helps you shift from a restrictive mindset to a balanced, intuitive way of eating that supports long-term well-being rather than short-term weight loss.
That’s absolutely okay! The goal is not just weight loss but creating a healthy relationship with food, movement, and self-care. I support you in feeling stronger, more confident, and at peace with your body—regardless of the number on the scale.
Every person’s journey is unique. Some clients notice improvements in their relationship with food within weeks, while physical changes often happen gradually. Since this is a sustainable, long-term approach, the goal is lasting transformation rather than quick fixes.
Sessions are personalized to your needs but typically include:
• Understanding emotional eating triggers and patterns
• Learning practical tools for self-regulation and stress management
• Developing a mindful approach to food, movement, and body image
• Creating sustainable habits tailored to your lifestyle
I primarily offer online coaching via video calls, which allows for flexibility and accessibility. If you’re local to Cheltenham, in-person sessions may be available.
This depends on your goals, consistency, and lifestyle. Many clients see noticeable changes within 4-6 weeks, but progress varies from person to person.
No, coaching is not a replacement for therapy. While we explore emotional patterns related to eating, my role is to provide guidance, education, and strategies for change. If deeper trauma processing is needed, I can support you through that.
The first step is to book a free chat. We’ll discuss your goals, challenges, and how I can best support you. From there, we’ll create a personalized plan that aligns with your needs.
