Our Philosophy &
Approach to Nutrition
At Side By Side Nutrition, we believe in a weight-inclusive, holistic approach that focuses on behaviors, not weight or numbers, as the key to lasting health. We’re here to help clients discover their value & worth beyond food, body, and the scale, so they can find health and wellness from a place of intuition versus external validation. We offer one-on-one in-person and virtual nutrition counseling as well as facilitate virtual support groups, provide meal support, and offer family-based therapy with the singular goal of helping our clients experience lasting healing and recovery.
By uncovering the food fears and body obsession that hold people back, our clients learn to find strength from their vulnerabilities and change their perspective of “fear & shame” to love and acceptance. Together, in our nutrition counseling program, we dismantle the food and body shame, identify triggers leading to self-doubt and inadequacy, and relearn how to have a trusting relationship with food and body in order to give space to what they truly value.
We all have the answers within ourselves, and each of us has the innate wisdom to reconnect with who we are.
You inherently possess the wisdom and strength to make powerful changes in your lives to fully heal your relationship with food and body. A full eating disorder recovery is absolutely possible through food and body image healing, with the support of dietitian nutritionists, ED specialists, so you can begin creating a full and empowered life.
Power Your Growth Journey.
A self-critical voice will only keep you trapped, so lean into the voice that empowers you to learn and grow. No matter where your journey takes you, compassion and acceptance will help you find your true power.
The Answers Are Inside You.
Give yourself permission to hold space for yourself and allow others to ride alongside you to support your healing journey. That’s when you’ll learn to trust in yourself, open up, and reconnect with the answers that have always been inside.
Move Forward, No Matter What.
Though life is full of bumps in the road, your path is determined by how you pick up the pieces and move forward with grit. Believe in yourself, and know you deserve more than what you see right in front of you - this isn’t where it has to stop.
Free Yourself And Live The Life You Want.
Don’t allow negative voices to cloud your judgment, and make you question your value based on your food choices or your body’s appearance. You don’t belong in a box - create space to free your mind, find your true purpose, and experience life to the fullest.
Self-compassion is the way out, always. Why should your relationship with food and body be any different?
