Free Resources for a Healthier Relationship with Food
If you or someone you care about has experienced food anxiety, overwhelm, sensory sensitivities, or struggles with eating in social settings, you’re not alone. I’m here to provide neuro-affirming, accessible resources that help you to find a friendlier relationship with food and your body.
Too many people face barriers to getting the right help with food and eating challenges, which is why I’m committed to making these resources free and easy to access for anyone who needs them. On this page, you’ll find downloadable guides, helpful sheets, and links to blogs and podcast episodes that explore important topics like body image, nutrition, eating differences, and more. I also host the non-diet podcast Cake Over Keto, where I dive into these conversations and share insights for anyone interested in a more compassionate approach to food and health.
If you can make a donation, it means I can continue creating and sharing these resources freely, while also offering more consultations at reduced rates for those who need additional support. Together, we can help ensure that more people feel empowered in their relationship with food, regardless of the challenges they face.
Thank you for your kindness and support. Every donation, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference. ❤️

In addition to creating free resources, your donation helps me to offer reduced-rate consultations to those who would otherwise struggle to access support. For many, these sessions are a lifeline - a space to work through food-related challenges with empathy and tailored guidance. With each donation, I can continue to provide these options at a more affordable rate, making support accessible to individuals and families navigating unique food and body image concerns.
