Imagine getting off the weight roller coaster for good…

You’ve been on and off diets or “lifestyle plans” since… well… since you can remember.

Thinking about food and controlling your body size have been dominant themes in your life. You’ve ridden the weight roller coaster up and down and are frustrated at your body for not conforming to your wishes.

Imagine no longer waiting on your weight to start living your life…

Worries about food and body cast a dark cloud over social events, vacations, romance, and being photographed, to name a few.

You’re exhausted. And dejected that your constant pursuit of clean eating, avid exercise, and controlling calories hasn’t delivered on the perfect body, or happy, confident life you have been promised. Perhaps you feel as if you’re half-living, putting off new experiences until you are thinner.

Imagine lifting the heavy cloak of body shame…

You feel anxious going to the doctor, or to family gatherings, wondering what they will think of you. You’re on edge anticipating the fiery burn of shame that follows comments about your body or your eating, perhaps out of “concern for your health.”

You care about your health and feel tremendous pressure that your health depends on your ability to control your weight.

You have put forth tremendous effort. Yet you feel as if you’ve failed and wish for more willpower or self-control. And here is the truth, beautiful human…

The diets failed you. Repeatedly. And they have eroded your physical, mental, and emotional health in the process.

Perhaps attempting to control your body through food and exercise has failed you so terribly that it pulled you deep into the murky and debilitating waters of an eating disorder.

Imagine kicking food obsession and fear to the curb, and rediscovering pleasure from food…

The answer to finding the freedom, confidence, and good health you seek is not to eat less and exercise more. The answer is not to try harder or try again with a new set of rules and strengthened resolve.

The answer lies in the journey inward. It’s time. To let go of restrictive eating. To rediscover pleasure from food. To learn to trust and respect your body. To be at peace.

This is a total paradigm shift. Know that I will help you navigate the unknown territory ahead. If you are feeling both terrified and excited, with a dash of skepticism, that sounds about right!

This is your path to freedom, good health, and a life well-lived. Call me at (802) 695-0535 to explore getting started or schedule a free discovery call. Learn more about Food+Body Therapy.

LET’S TALK

Reflections from Clients

“When I first contacted Julia, I was feeling really lost in my connection with food and my body. I thought I was going to work with a dietitian who could tell me how to enjoy healthy food and exercise so I could stop the endless shame I felt around my body. Instead, starting from our very first session, Julia made it clear that I don’t need to be at war with my body in order to take care of it. In our time together, she gave me the tools I needed to not only make peace with food and body, but how to be more present in my life.

It’s amazing how much the world opens up when you can put down the calorie trackers and just enjoy the moment.”

Reflections from Clients

“Julia helped me see myself as more than a body, more than what I ate, more than how hard I could workout. She listened to me with compassion and non-judgement. She made me feel heard and validated, no matter how I was feeling. Julia also gave me the tools to break free from societal pressures of how I should look, what I should eat/not eat, and how I should be moving my body. [Food + Body] Therapy with Julia helped me listen and talk to my own body with gentle kindness and compassion.

My relationship with food, movement, and my own body has completely changed for the better after working with Julia- I’ve gained a more astute listening ear, better self-image, more confidence, and a kinder voice. I’m incredibly grateful!”

“Julia helped me to see myself through kind and compassionate eyes and to value myself. While working with Julia, I questioned and challenged the societal norms and expectations that have been making me feel bad about my body for years.

Let me tell you what you will not get with Julia… you will not be weighed at every visit, you will not be given a diet plan set to a weight loss goal, and you will not feel misunderstood or judged.

What you will gain is a better appreciation for your body and health, no matter its size or shape. I have gained self-confidence, self esteem, and a kinder ‘inner voice.’ 

I am so very thankful!

“Julia is an incredible [nutrition] therapist. She helped me to shift the way I was thinking about food and my body during one of the most stressful times of my life — wedding planning! She gave me very real, tangible skills to help me cope with the stress and to honor and care for my body. I was blown away by Julia’s compassion, deep knowledge, and professionalism. I highly recommend her to anybody and everybody looking to escape the clutches of diet culture and reclaim your life for what you value.”

Reflections from Clients

“Before meeting Julia, my relationship with my body was completely broken. Over the past few months of working with her, Julia has helped me cultivate a healthy relationship with my body image and relationship to food and exercise. It hasn’t been easy, but Julia makes you feel so comfortable and HEARD. She is compassionate and so understanding. She meets you where you are and helps you get to a mental space you never thought possible.

With her help, my stress levels have lowered, because the unnecessary pressures no longer have such a tight grip on me. I am sleeping better, and I’m beginning to enjoy food and exercise the way we are meant to. I feel like I am seeing my life for the first time. I am finally awake and living my best life every single day. There aren’t enough words to thank Julia for how she has changed my life.”

~Chelsie A.

Reflections from Clients

“Julia met me where I was at in every session. I felt safe and seen. She did a graceful job of being gentle with me and my process while also pushing back and asking me questions to help me shift perspective or let go of a narrative I was caught in. Julia was the first practitioner in my life to go to bat for me with insurance and support me in getting the help I needed.”

~RKW

Reflections from Clients

“Julia has a calming, centered presence. She exudes authenticity respect for others, and she helped me discover that a more grounded and joyful relationship with my body and food is possible.

Her social justice focus helped me understand the bigger picture, and the variety of tools she used helped me learn so much in a short amount of time. I recommend her most highly and without reservation!”
