Grocery stores can be overwhelming if you don’t know what you’re looking for, what your healthiest options are, or where to find them.
This is why so many of us eat the same things over and over again and get caught up in unhealthy food ruts. Sometimes it’s just easier to reach for the most familiar items, even if they’re not the healthiest.
Believe me, I’ve been there. These days, though, I love grocery shopping, and I’m pretty good at making it fun for other people, too.
If you’re experiencing grocery store intimidation as you set out on your new dietary adventures, or if you just find yourself wandering the aisles lost and confused, I can help. We’ll grab a cart at your favorite grocery store and tour the aisles together. I’ll show you where to find the best foods to meet your nutritional needs and give you some tips for making your grocery shopping excursions fun, efficient, and budget-friendly.
While you may think that nutritious eating is all about restriction and deprivation, a healthy dietary change can actually open you up to a whole new world of delicious meal and snack options. But, of course, you have to know where to look and what to buy. During our one-one-one grocery shopping trips, I’ll help you find the healthiest options in each aisle. Yes, even the canned food aisle, the frozen aisle, and the cracker aisle!
Let’s go shopping together. It’ll be an adventure.

Eating together is an option, too
Healthy eating isn’t just about what we put into our bodies. It’s also about the experience of eating. Many of us spend a huge portion of our lives in battle with food and with our bodies, often repeating unhealthy cycles of deprivation and overindulgence. These cycles distort our relationship with food and cause shame, anxiety, and guilt around eating. Learning to listen to our bodies is a key factor in reestablishing a healthy relationship with food.
With private, one-on-one meals focused on mindful, intuitive eating, I can help you reconnect with your body and the positive experience of nourishing it through the foods you eat. We’ll start simple. You’ll learn what to eat, when to start and stop eating, and how to pay attention to your body’s natural signals. Along the way, I’ll also give you tips and strategies for working through any anxiety that may arise in the process. The goal of our one-on-one meals is to help you feel good in your body and to heal your relationship with food.
