My decision to become a Registered Dietitian, with a focus on mindful and intuitive eating, was deeply personal—rooted in my own struggles with disordered eating throughout high school and college. Like many who fall prey to diet culture, I chased every promise of weight loss through programs, pills, and quick-fix solutions. I acted without understanding, overwhelmed by misinformation and unaware of the real risks associated with dieting.
This confusion and lack of education led to a painful cycle of restrictive eating, emotional eating, and self-blame. For six years, I battled with guilt, frustration, and shame—using food to meet emotional needs rather than nourish my body. Dieting consumed my thoughts and dictated my behaviors, stealing valuable time and energy from my life.
It wasn’t until I sought treatment for binge eating disorder that I began to heal. Through this process, I learned to make peace with food, reconnect with my body, and embrace a more compassionate, sustainable approach to eating. Now, as a Registered Dietitian, my mission is to help others break free from the dieting cycle and find the same sense of food freedom and self-trust that transformed my own life.
