Hi! I'm Sandra, and I'm not your average intuitive eating dietitian!
After years of seeing women (and myself) feel defeated by food rules and health advice that didn't work long term, I knew there had to be a better way. I believe health is about more than bloodwork or what’s on your plate. It’s about you as a whole person, living in a way that feels meaningful to you, not dictated by diet culture or outside expectations.
​
I also know that trusting your body and your choices can be hard. That’s why I’m here to support the tricky parts - including body image. Food freedom means learning to listen to your body, care for it, and trust it, even as it changes, no matter its size or shape.
​
When we work together, we go beyond surface-level advice. We explore both food and body image, so you feel supported, confident, and more at ease with your choices, and with yourself.
Ok, but what exactly is intuitive eating?
Intuitive Eating is a mind-body approach to health rooted in self-care and compassion. You learn to listen to the internal cues of hunger and fullness to find foods that genuinely make your body feel good. Intuitive Eating is an evidence based, weight neutral, and inclusive approach to health.
​
Why Intuitive Eating works:
-
Reduces risk of disordered eating
-
Enhances body awareness
-
Promotes mindfulness & self compassion, overall improving mental health and reducing stress related to food and body image
-
Increases satisfaction with meals
-
Sustainable in the long term, promoting lifelong health rather than short term weight loss goals
-
Improved physical health by promoting balanced and nutritious food choices
-
Empowerment and self efficacy
-
Enhanced body acceptance
Credentials
Professionally, I’m a Registered Dietitian (RD) in BC, Canada, a Certified Intuitive Eating Counsellor, and trained in Body Image coaching. I love talking about all things food - and I want you to enjoy food too, without guilt or stress.
​
I combine the science of nutrition with the Intuitive Eating framework, using a neutral and inclusive approach to meet you where you’re at. Together, we focus on practical, doable steps that fit your life, so you leave feeling confident, supported, and empowered around food.
I’ve been through the depths of diet culture, struggled with disordered eating, and spent years at war with my body. The journey was full of bumps, challenges, and lessons, but when I found my way to food freedom and body trust, I knew I wanted to help others do the same. I understand what it’s like to feel confused, stuck, or like a failure when diets don’t work, because I’ve been there.
The good news is, you don’t have to stay stuck. There’s a way to find peace with food, your body, and your health - and I’m here to guide you.
I know that the work is uncomfortable but that's why I provide the level of support that I do in my coaching.
And hey, nothing worth doing was easy anyways.
​
Outside of work, I'm usually cooking or baking something in the kitchen, cuddling my cat, (trying to) train my dog, watching the latest medical drama, or moving my body outside and breathing some fresh air.
​
Phew, ok -- that's enough about me! I can't wait to get to know you, don't hesitate to send me a message if you have questions about the work I do or how we can work together.
