Jen believes in nourishing the whole person - mind, body & soul.  Our mental, emotional and physical well being are all equally important and connected.  While examining and shifting our relationship with food we may expose other areas where we need support.  When we are in a self-caring place, food, movement and how we feel about our body tends to follow.  
 
Food Philosophy
 
Food is fuel but it’s also so much more than that.  Jen believes that physical health is measured over time and can be achieved through a balanced and varied diet, all foods fit!  However, we don’t start here.  How we feel about what we eat impacts our health and well being.  First, we unlearn food rules, diet myths, and give ourselves permission to eat everything.  Once we have full permission and can eat without guilt we can truly tune in and listen to our body's wisdom.  It’s from this place that we learn what food(s) and how much our body really wants.  With time and practice you can feel confident around nourishing your body.

Movement Philosophy 

Movement is not a punishment or a chore, it can be fun and feel good!  Many people struggle with moving their body as it is often tied to weight or to burn calories.  When we can separate the two and let go of rigid rules around movement we open ourselves up to explore the joys of moving our body and never have to "exercise" again.  Together we can find the kind of movement that feels good to you and your body.

Body Image Philosophy 

All bodies are good bodies and all bodies are worthy of respect.  Jen believes it is possible to shift our body image from negative, to neutral, eventually to positive by showing our body respect, challenging our negative thoughts, engaging in self-care, and improving our self-worth and self-esteem.  Through various exercises and practices, over time we can challenge our negative body image and change our beliefs about our body.  Through this important work, we realize our body is not an ornament, it is a vehicle to carry out our dreams.

 Jen believes everyone is capable of this kind of  food, movement and body freedom and it is her passion and mission to help you find your way.
