BLOGS & REFLECTIONS

I write blogs ranging from personal reflections on my journey to healing my relationship with food and my body, my writing advice and author journey, the experience of being a childless, not by choice, woman to articles to support you in breaking free from food rules and diet mentality so that you, too, may experience the joy of eating (and life) with less self-doubt, limiting beliefs, guilt and shame.

It is an honour to be sharing my insights and learnings with you.
