1:1 Behavioral Wellness Coach + Nutrition Counselor
For the former yo-yo dieter who wants to enjoy taking care of themselves without giving up foods you love
If you feel this, it might be time to work with a anti-diet nutrition counselor...
You don’t want to start over anymore: you’re at the point where you know dieting doesn't work, you believe in food freedom and wellness without restriction, but the all-or-nothing mentality can still take over.
You need a high-level of individualized support and accountability to implement behavioral change around food, exercise and how you treat your body, solely listening to podcasts or reading books isn't working.
You’re familiar with Intuitive Eating, or you vaguely heard of it, but either way, you want to practice food freedom, wellness without restriction, and having a healthy relationship with exercise.
You may have kiddos in your life you want to be a role model for, you don't want them to grow up with negative food and body image influences like you did. You want to become your own intuitive eater, so they can be one too.
You no longer want to be so hard on yourself and your body image a year from now, and the change needs to start happening.
Do me a favor, let's dig into your long-haul mentality here:
It is 100% possible for you to:
Take care of yourself without ever weighing yourself (goodbye unnecessary shame). This a non-diet program meaning the focus is not on weight-loss, it is on behavioral change.
Get rid of food guilt so you can enjoy eating all foods again.
Stop binge eating, especially late at night.
Cultivate a healthier body image.
Experience movement, and exercise with more joy.
Speak to yourself with compassion, instead of being so damn hard on yourself.
“I found the Intuitive Eating book, and loved it. It made sense, but I needed extra accountability and help, so thankfully I found Allison.
She is a trustworthy and genuine soul. She listened without judgment, gave helpful insight, and held me accountable. She took me on a journey to understand why it’s not truly about the food, but things that are rooted so much deeper.
She helped me gain back my intuition and my confidence. After about two months, I had stopped counting calories (something I never thought could truly happen!) and started making small steps to improving my relationship to food. By the end of our time, I could not believe how far I had come.”

You want to know if this journey is right for you, I get it, so take a look at the stories from a few past clients from Minneapolis, Minnesota and all around the country:
M.H. an experienced Whole-30 dieter, had considered doing something new like Noom when she realized she no longer wanted to start over on another diet. She heard about Intuitive Eating but needed help on tangible steps she could practice to become an Intuitive Eater.
She now states that food no longer takes up her brain space, she has stopped comparing her body to other women’s bodies, and she has room for other hobbies, and interests in her life because dieting isn’t taking up her time.
Jill had a background of disordered eating and dieting, of course growing up in diet culture this is common. She knew about intuitive eating for years, and took the leap to do 1:1 work so she could receive clarity on how to “make peace with food”, and take care of herself without sacrificing so much time and energy to her workouts. She now feels capable of listening to her body on what’s best for it.
Jonna had come from a background of Weight Watchers, and no longer wanted to constantly weigh herself, or feel fixated on food through tracking it each day.
She naturally enjoys taking care of herself, and particularly exercising for joy, but she needed the emotional and mental support in letting go of diet culture values and showing up for herself with more compassion. She now expresses joy eating with her family, doesn’t feel fixated on food, and has a more holistic wellness approach that doesn’t involve restriction.

FAQ
-
This is a virtual service, meaning you don't have to live in Minneapolis to work with me. All calls are done via Zoom, or over the phone. Voxer (voice messaging and text messaging app) is what we will use to communicate in-between sessions.
-
1:1 coaching is a higher investment ($447/month) for six months total, therefore my 1:1 clients get a higher energy exchange from me: 12 private coaching calls, individual assignments, and direct support from me in between sessions. Most 1:1 clients come to me after reading the book intuitive eating, or trying it out on their own but need further accountability and support with food + body image + boundary setting + perfectionism + alleviating anxiety, etc.
In my course you do not have to be familiar with intuitive eating, nor have you read the book. This is an introductory course and best suited for someone who needs direction and clarity, but it is also willing to do the work outside of the course. Participants will receive 7 group coaching calls with opportunities to ask me questions.
-
Yes, you will! After each session I send you a recap email directly to your inbox in which you’ll download all the tools provided. They are yours for the keeping.
-
No, I want to make this clear this is not a program that has you weigh or measure your weight. I do not guarantee what your weight will be after becoming an intuitive eater, otherwise this would be just another diet. People either gain, lose, or maintain weight with intuitive eating, but focusing on that wouldn’t help you become an intuitive eater.
There is no shame in wanting to lose weight or having the desire to, but you're prioritizing your mental & physical well-being over weight-loss in 1:1 nutrition counseling/health coaching.
-
No, there is no such thing as “perfect”. However, over the course of 6 months, if you put the work in, show up for our calls, and stay compassionate with yourself you’re going to feel and see major changes in your wellness behaviors, relationship with food, exercise, and not be at war with your body image.
-
All cancellations must be done before a 24 hour period prior to the call day + time to not be charged. Rescheduling before 24 hour periods can be easily done and assure you get in all your calls.
-
Cost is $397/month for a 6 month period. Each month you receive two 60 minute calls via Zoom or Google HangOut, or on the phone. You also receive recap email or voxer with homework assignments, workbooks, and other tools to help you implement what we discuss in our sessions.
