Welcome to a compassionate and inclusive approach to nutrition and well-being.
I’m Niki, a registered dietitian and lactation consultant, committed to guiding you on a journey toward a healthier and more fulfilling life, embracing the principles of weight inclusivity and body positivity.
My Philosophy
In a world saturated with diet culture, I swim upstream, advocating for a non-diet approach that transcends traditional notions of health. I believe in addressing the often-neglected emotional, social, and psychological facets of well-being.
Together, we’ll challenge the normalized narrative surrounding disordered eating and exercise, striving to redefine what true health means for you.
“It’s okay to make mistakes. Mistakes are our teachers, they help us to learn.”
– John Bradshaw
My Approach
My approach is centered on nurturing a healthy relationship with food and your body. Unlike conventional practices that fixate on numbers, meal plans, and weight loss, I empower you to be the driver of your own well-being. Through the lens of non-diet, Intuitive Eating, and Health at Every Size (HAES®) paradigms, we’ll work towards a happier, calmer, and more accepting version of yourself.
Intuitive eating is an empowering process that not only promotes health but is your gateway to freedom. When you are freed from the tyranny of food and body anxiety, you have the space and renewed energy to pursue your dreams and discover your purpose in life. It is a conscious decision that you need to make on a daily basis, and requires commitment. It means opening up to a new way of viewing the world.

Embracing ‘Normal Eating’
– As Ellyn Satter beautifully defines it, ‘normal eating’ is a mindful and flexible relationship with food. It involves listening to your body’s signals, choosing foods you enjoy, and eating until satisfaction.
Normal eating embraces the understanding that occasional overeating or undereating is a part of life, and it allows for permission to eat based on emotions and pleasure.
