Welcome! I’m Abbie, an anti-diet, fat-positive, and weight-inclusive nutritionist. My practice is grounded in a self-compassionate and intuitive approach to helping you heal your relationship with food, movement, and your body.

I believe our lives are meant for so much more than being fixated on food and our bodies.

I work with my clients to redefine what wellness means to them, and to find true well-being through an attuned and connected relationship with food and movement.
Together, we tackle the mental, emotional, and physical components of what it means to have a human body — whether that’s through ditching diet culture, recovering from disordered eating behaviors, healing from chronic dieting, improving body image, or embracing a way of living that is in alignment with your values.
Your body is your home, and this is a journey back to your authenticity, power, and purpose.

My Story

You deserve a life beyond body control. You deserve to feel free and at peace.

In this 10-week program, we tackle my 10 foundations to finding freedom with food and making peace with your body in a small group setting.

This is perfect for those who are seeking a collaborative atmosphere with a community of others who are also navigating their way out of diet culture. It is a gently structured step-by-step approach to healing from diet culture and is also a lower financial commitment than individual sessions. Group coaching is also a great option for former clients who want continue the work we did together in 1-1 sessions.

What former participants are saying …

“This program has exceeded my expectations. I have never done anything like this and i wasn't sure that I would be comfortable opening up and sharing with people I'd never met. The assignments, the message board, and the discussions all worked together beautifully to support the lessons given. I felt so supported throughout the process and surprised to relate to people of varying backgrounds who were all feeling similar to me and with similar experiences. I am hoping that the changes that started these past couple of months will continue to grow and will last a lifetime.”
Cassie G.
“This program gave me the tools to heal my body image and real tangible steps to improve my relationship with food. It’s changed the way I think about nourishing myself, and I no longer experience guilt or shame with food. I feel committed to this work now – challenging these deeply ingrained beliefs and creating a better life for myself and for my kids.”
Kathy R.
“I can’t fully express what this group experience has meant to me. It’s given me comfort, validation, and clear steps to take in healing my relationship with my body. I’m forever grateful for Abbie and this community.”
Laura B.

OTHER WAYS TO WORK WITH ME

1-1 Counseling

These sessions are centered around body image work, intuitive eating, and developing a positive relationship with food and movement. I consider this to be the bravest work we can do for ourselves. This is a safe space for us to explore your history with eating so that we can begin to rebuild trust in your body. Living in a state of anxiety or compulsive need to control and manage your body is exhausting, time-consuming, and ultimately drains you of the energy to fully show up in the world and be the incredible person you are.

#114: Fat-Positive Parenting and Supporting Your Child's Body Image with Debbie Saroufim

This week, I’m joined by body image coach and children’s book author, Debbie Saroufim. We delve into why it's vital to adopt a fat-positive, anti-diet perspective when it comes to children's well-being, and how parents can take an active role in supporting their children’s body image.

On this week’s episode, Dacy Gillespie joins me to talk all about a weight-inclusive approach to fashion, clothing grief, and what the hell to do with our closets.

On this week's episode, we're joined by Leslie Schilling, registered dietitian and author. We focus on themes in her second book, Feed Yourself, which explores the intersection of diet culture and religion — how diet culture shows up in the safest spaces, including places of worship.

This is free preview of a paywalled episode, which is available to our wonderful supporters on Patreon. This episode is an answer to a question submitted on Patreon from Erica, who asked about how to manage acid reflux without restriction, because just thinking about restricting is triggering. We dive into the dangers of restriction for your digestive system, what to do to improve acid reflux, and how to avoid the traps of disordered eating in “gut health”.

Kirsten Morrison (@intuitive_rd on Instagram) joins us this week on the pod to discuss her experience as a former weight loss surgery dietitian. We explore the consequences on physical and mental health, her journey from working in bariatrics to now specializing in intuitive eating, how dietitians often experience their own disordered eating, and the overlap of disordered eating and bariatric surgery.

This week we are joined by the incredible Lauren Fleshman, New York Times bestselling author of "Good for a Girl", to discuss how our sports systems fails women and girls and how we can create a better future for the next generation of female athletes.

How Do I Stop Comparing What I Eat To Others?

Comparison means that our self-worth hinges on how we feel we are doing relative to those around us. This is where things get dangerous. If your self-worth is coming from external things (via comparison), it’s conditional upon feeling better than someone else. You’ll never feel good enough or worthy enough because there is always someone else out there who appears to have it all.
