Welcome! I'm Ina, your Registered Dietitian and Health Coach on a mission to help you ditch dieting, escape binge-eating eating, and achieve your healthiest weight in bidding farewell the frustrating cycle of yo-yo dieting and weight cycling.
I have professional experience working in sustainable weight management with one of Canada's leading obesity medical clinics. My goal is to equip you with the evidence-based tools and strategies to lose weight for the last time and keep it off using long-term mindset and behaviour change grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I want to help you make peace with food and empower you to live the life you were created for.
I struggled with binge-eating and weight cycling for 6 years. I experienced the roller coaster of emotional-eating and restriction. I experimented with the latest trending diets to "optimize my health" but really it was an attempt to control my life and my body, which destroyed my relationship with food. From all the "good" and "bad" foods I felt the weight of guilt when I ate anything "unhealthy" and the intense shame when I would run out of "will power" or "self-control" and binge ate all of the foods that I dubbed "off limits".
Obsessing over food was seeping all my energy, and the emotional toll of frequent binges was exhausting.
I never want you to go through the vicious cycle of weight ups and downs, countless attempts trying diet after diet only to end up where you started, and experience the feelings of guilt and shame that are tied up in "failing" for what feels like the hundredth time.
I was able to BREAK FREE from the binge-eating cycle and normalize my relationship with food and body using clinically proven, evidence based strategies. And now it's my mission to help you do the same.
I want to help you take your power back from food, so it no longer controls your decisions, emotions and feeling of self-worth. Together, we'll discover the joy of mindful eating, making choices that align with your health goals, all while still savouring the pleasures of life.
MY MISSION IS CLEAR:
TO GUIDE YOU ON A TRANSFORMATIVE JOURNEY TOWARDS AN EMPOWERED UNDERSTANDING & MINDSET AROUND FOOD, CONFIDENCE IN YOUR BODY, & LIVING YOUR BEST LIFE through EFFECTIVE
LONG-TERM BEHAVIOUR CHANGE.
