Hopeful Horizons Nutrition

I’m a weight inclusive, Health at Every Size dietitian. For the last 5+ years I have been supporting clients with eating disorders and disordered eating in a variety of roles. I founded Hopeful Horizons Nutrition with the goal of partnering with clients on their journey to food freedom and I’m so glad you found your way here! My journey into the world of nutrition began when I was a teenager. Through my own experience with dieting, exercise and the pursuit of weight loss, I realized that a life of restriction and disordered eating couldn’t be what I was looking for. I was fortunate to discover the Health at Every size approach in my undergrad and slowly was able to move away from diet culture. As I began to learn more about this approach, I realized that I would love to be able to help others internalize these messages as well. This led me into my work with eating disorders which I became very passionate about. It became my goal to help others find a balanced approach to eating. I began working at an eating disorder treatment center at the start of my career and then moved on to outpatient work. In my work with clients, I collaborate with you to create individualized treatment plans and goals. I provide support with meal planning, working through eating disorder behaviors, incorporating exercise in a healthy way and so much more. I am also extremely passionate about perinatal nutrition and provide nutrition, body image and exercise support for those who are pregnant or post-partum. I am intentional about meeting you where you are at on this journey. I am patient, compassionate, calm and will be direct as needed. I recognize that when in the throes of an eating disorder or disordered eating, often it is hard to see a way out. It is my goal to provide a safe space where I partner with clients on their journey to recovery as I believe there is hope and that healing is possible for everyone When I am not helping my clients challenge diet culture, I enjoy spending time with my husband and 3 little kids, experimenting with cooking and baking new recipes, going on walks and hikes, and enjoying nature. I am originally from Montreal, Canada and currently live in Maryland. While living in Canada, I was a big fan of skiing and would love to get back into that someday. Do any of these statements sound familiar? “I am anxious around food and want a more peaceful relationship with food.” “I have a hard time with flexibility when it comes to my food or exercise routine.” "I would like support in finding a balanced approach to eating." “I am pregnant or postpartum and struggling to feed myself and/or navigate body image challenges. “ "I would like to reintroduce exercise but am not sure how to do this in a healthy, efficient manner." “I am in eating disorder recovery or am looking to start.” "I am a picky/selective eater and struggle to feed myself because of this." If any of these statements or something similar resonates, I would love to work with you!
