here's what you'll learn

Health is an orientation,
not a destination.

When meal planning is done in a way that allows for flexibility, considers pleasure, and allows for more gentle nutrition, then meal planning can be a powerful ally in your struggle with making peace with food. 

Meal prepping goes wrong when you start becoming too rigid with yourself and leave no room for flexibility. This is a big reason many become overwhelmed and decided meal prepping isn’t for them. When you’re trying to accommodate a dozen different diet rules, of course it’s going to feel overwhelming. 

This is not health. 

When meal planning with intuitive eating, nutrition is a small part of your decisions; it’s more about finding the feel-good ingredients. Knowing the foods that sustain you during the week gives you the energy you need to be productive in your current lifestyle. 

The whole point of Intuitive Eating is that it’s not a diet. 

It is a way to make food choices based on the ebb and flow of life. Some days we need more food than others, our cravings may change, and emotional stressors, and energy levels may be different which means our needs are different.

Truth be told, there is so much conflicting information out there and so many diets offering a quick fix. This is not that. Good nutrition is found when you take take the time to create real, sustainable ways of nourishing yourself. 

That is what the Intuitive Eating model offers. Through this practice of connecting to your intuition, you will begin to hear things like, “eat this, not that, stretch, rest, take that class, avoid that person, do that thing.” You begin to feel connected to something bigger than you. You begin to come back to true natural health.

What you will uncover in this guide…   

1

Your body knows what is needed to create sustainbale health.

2

Meal prepping is about fostering a healthy relationship with food.

3

When done right food has the power to create biological safety and support our internal healing process.

"Connecting to our intuitive nature allows us to eat a moderation of healthy foods while also having a healthy relationship with them."

When we live in a culture that imposes so much fear and guilt around food, having access to our intuition can make all the difference.

THIS WORK WILL GET YOU OUT OF RIGIDITY AND BACK INTO MAKING FOOD CHOICES BASED ON THE EBB AND FLOW OF LIFE.

let’s get to know each other

i’m vanessa. vegan chef turned food freedom + embodiment coach.

I didn’t always have a good relationship with food, my body, or myself. In fact, not long ago I found myself with everything I thought made up a happy life but internally I was lost, unfulfilled and dying to live by my own terms.

I spent years looking for answers. I followed all the health + wellness gurus and experimented with all kinds of modalities and ways of healing.  I took long detours down wrong paths but little by little I found a home withing myself. I could say I made mistakes but really they were all crucial steps to me mastering what works for me.

I don't know if I could or would have gotten to this incredibly free and easy place with food and body without her. I would recommend her to anyone ready to do the deep work of self love + body acceptance.
