Do you tell yourself that once your body changes, you will be happier?
Do you feel like you have no control when it comes to food?
Are you overwhelmed by negative self talk and anxiety?
Do you beat yourself up after indulging too much?
Do you overeat to make yourself feel better?
I FEEL YOU, SISTA.
Why? Because I've been there. I know what it feels like to be obsessing over food, to never feel like you're good enough and to let that fixation take control over your life. Deep down you know that there has to be a better way, but it's just so hard to get out of it by yourself... And that's what I'm here for.
I work with big hearted women (that's you) who are ready to ditch the self-hating lifestyle. Having been through an eating disorder (anorexia, bulimia and all the grey areas in between) and many years of emotional eating myself, I know that it can be daunting to commit to self love over self hate. I also know the value of working with someone who's gone through the same; in fact that is how I started my own healing journey.
My coaching is for anyone looks in the mirror and feels at war with the reflection staring back at them. It's for those who's food and body fixation is interfering with their ability to show up powerfully in their own life. It's for anyone who's gotten caught in the vicious cycle of self-loathing, emotional eating and inner mean girl talk.

“Stef has provided a judgement-free space for me to address the negative and damaging mentality I had around food, and then safely unpack those ideas, reframing them into positive steps towards food-freedom. The manner in which Stef works was responsive to my own individual journey, and she has offered hope, understanding and compassion on what can feel like an incredibly lonely journey. The work I have done with Stef has translated into not just my relationship with food, but also the way in which I can exist in the world, my sense of self-worth. This has set me up to then work in better, more constructive ways with other health professionals - being able to talk about what my body needs from a health and medical perspective without compromising my mental health, and this is so incredibly important!Thank you Stef for shining a light on a path out of destructive food patterns and into a new way of thinking!”
“Stef helped me to see things that I just couldn’t see on my own. Her work allowed me to approach my struggles with food with kindness and to see my healing as a journey rather than a sprint. I am eternally grateful for the tools and safe space she provided me with to improve my relationship with food and more importantly my relationship with myself.”
“I will be forever grateful for everything you taught me. You helped me find confidence in myself when I was at my lowest. Thanks to you, my life is now back on track, not just in terms of food, but in so many other aspects of my life too! ”
“Working with Stef has completely changed how I see food and its place in my life. Food had a complete hold over life, but working with Stef showed me how I could regain control of my own life by freeing myself from the patterns of restrictive eating I had created. By teaching me to love my body more, to be more mindful and respectful to my body when making choices around food and to forgive myself when I make mistakes, Stef has completely transformed my life.”
“I feel like a new person! At first, I was hesitant to reach out because it is a little scary to fully open up to a stranger about your life, but right away she felt like a best friend and made me feel totally comfortable. Stef is super educated and knowledgable but to me the most valuable part was her personal experience and ability to fully relate to me. Not only was she just a great listener, but she give little “homework” assignments after every session. I recently saw a friend that I hadn’t seen since before working with Stef and she said that I was glowing and seemed more confident!”
“I am 29 and have been struggling with my weight and body image since the age of 14. Fifteen years of ups and downs, ranging from extreme dieting to binge eating, with the voice of my inner mean girl roaring in the background. I reached out to Stef because I could relate to her story – she was able to understand what I went through and that helped me so much in opening myself up about my journey. Over the past three months her coaching has allowed me to take a step back, understand why I was eating compulsively, acknowledge how disconnected I was from my true needs, and work on a mindset shift that in turn triggered a lot of changes. Stef has been a lifesaver and I am forever thankful for her support and advice!”
“For a long time I thought that my emotional eating and my binging episodes were part of who I am. But you totally uncovered this paradigm for me and helped shift it completely! I feel very grateful to have found you to truly understand the path of intuitive eating and eating unapologetically. I also think it was no coincidence to do this while pregnant, I was able to have a healthy relationship with the natural and beautiful weight gain that comes with it without freaking out about it, listen to my body and move in ways that helped me feel better and, most importantly, without checking the scale! I couldn’t have asked for a healthier and more uncomplicated pregnancy. I am so ready to raise an intuitive eater. Thank you so much!!!”
“Working with Stef was such a great experience. She helped me to identify thought patterns that were holding me back, and was tirelessly supportive in a way that made me want to support myself. Her passion and knowledge for wellness was a perfect compliment for her personal and friendly approach, and I really came to trust her guidance. While I still have a road ahead of me on my journey to a healthier relationship with food, I now feel like I have a set of tools to guide me through the more difficult moments. Thank you Stef!”
““Stef is not only an incredible person, but an AMAZING coach! She is extremely talented at analyzing negative thought patterns and providing effective solutions to change them. Stef has taught me so much & has helped me through disordered eating patterns that have haunted me most of my life. I plan to continue using her coaching because it has become an enlightening part of my week that I simply can’t live without! I absolutely recommend her to ANYONE struggling with any aspect of food or health.” :) ❤”
“I’m the kind of person that figures everything out on my own - I never really feel like I need someone else’s help. But as cliché as it might sound, reaching out to Stef has honestly been the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. Stef makes me better, and I am so glad to have her in my life.
Everyone needs some Stef in their lives. ”

To become a holistic health coach, I studied at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN) where I learned about innovative coaching methods, practical lifestyle management techniques, and over 100 dietary theories; everything from Ayurveda, gluten-free, and Paleo, to raw, vegan, and macrobiotics. This coaching, combined with my personal experience and 200hr Cert. Yoga Teacher Training, is what allows me to help you in your own self love journey.
I have been getting a lot of questions about my experience with IIN, both from people who want to become a health coach themselves and people who simply want to improve their own life and that of their families.
