What they often find is something deeper: peace, trust, and freedom with food and their body.
I’m Trisha, a nutrition and health coach and trauma-sensitive yoga teacher. I help people heal from the harm of dieting and disordered eating, through coaching, classes, support groups, and restorative yoga.
So many people come to me with gut issues, sluggish metabolism, stress, or disordered eating patterns. Underneath it all is a body that’s been talked over, controlled, or ignored for too long. My work helps you tune back in.
Together, we rebuild that relationship: learning what your body needs, what it’s trying to tell you, and how to nourish it in a way that feels supportive, not restrictive.
I don’t hand out diet plans or quick fixes. I teach you to listen.
Through mindful eating practices, gentle story work, and somatic awareness, we get to the heart of what’s been driving your patterns: the beliefs, habits, and emotions that keep you stuck. This lowers food anxiety, quiets the constant “food noise,” and helps you move away from a diet mindset toward a sustainable, embodied way of living.
Clients often tell me that what they came for, the weight loss, becomes less important as they begin to feel calmer, more confident, and more connected to themselves. Their energy improves, their digestion steadies, their self-talk softens. They stop fighting their bodies and start working with them.
It’s not about control; it’s about connection.
So our work draws on story integration, nutrition education, healthy habit building, mindful eating, somatic practices, and, underneath all of it, compassionate curiosity.
Through gentle nutrition, weight loss or gain, movement practices, yoga, and habit coaching, my job is to help you learn more about yourself and your relationship to food and your body. As you practice compassionate curiosity, holistic health and self-care become more accessible.
