MY APPROACH

 

I am passionate about all things related to food and the impact that food has on one’s life. To me, food is a vehicle that brings people together. I strive to improve your relationship with food so that it can be shared and enjoyed.

 
 
 

Through our work together you will gain food freedom; whether that means having your favorite dessert without guilt, enjoying a meal with friends, or cooking with your mom and snacking along the way. 

I practice a non-diet, weight inclusive approach to nutrition, specializing in both disordered eating and eating disorders. I bring compassion and humor into our sessions. We will discuss the multitude of complex thoughts, feelings, and behaviors surrounding what we eat. There is no standard meal plan, equation, or recipe that solves anyone’s relationship with food.

In thinking about the nutrition and psychology of food, I embrace the new wave of science and GLP-1's. GLP-1's can be a tool in the toolbox in our relationship to food; I want to manage and individually support you with these medications.

I acknowledge and put an emphasis on all the different functions that food plays into our lives whether for necessity, nourishment, emotional needs, or enjoyment and finding a balance that works for everyone is a priority. I focus on the importance of an individual approach, as everyone’s goals and needs are different.

 
TESTIMONIALS
Johnathan

“In only one year of working with Hanna, my cholesterol went from far too high to normal range. She helped me create sustainable (and hopefully life-long) habits that have allowed me to become quantifiably healthier and feel better. She walked me through a lot of the science so I now feel way more independent and confident when making healthy decisions but also helped me brainstorm specific snacks when I felt totally lost."

 “Hanna has been an essential support in my journey recovering from Binge Eating Disorder. I never thought I could get to a place where I could feel relaxed and confident about food, but my recovery has brought me more peace than I thought possible. Hanna has been a safe place for me to bring all of my thoughts and feelings, even when they sometimes are at odds with one another. She has been a practical guide for food choices when I needed it, and a trusted adviser in a world where we get a lot of messages about what to eat! She consistently remains accepting, compassionate, and encouraging, and she always meets me where I am that day. Ultimately, she's helped me learn to listen to my own body to make choices that feel right for me. I highly recommend working with Hanna! “
