1:1 Coaching
If you’re smart, capable, and disciplined, but feel out of control around food, you’re not broken.
Binge eating and food obsession aren’t failures of willpower. They’re often the result of restriction, fear, and a nervous system stuck in survival mode, especially during seasons like pregnancy or postpartum.
I help people untangle binge eating and orthorexic patterns using compassionate, evidence-based Intuitive Eating and trauma-informed support—so food can become quieter and life can feel bigger again.
You don’t need another plan. You need support that actually fits the problem.
Work 1:1 with me to understand your relationship with food, rebuild self-trust, and feel confident in how you eat.
This Isn’t About Food.
It just feels like it is.
I bet you can handle most anything, except freaking food. And that makes you feel broken. Spoiler alert: you are not.
You’re not struggling because you haven’t found the right plan.
What you’re experiencing makes sense when you zoom out and look at the whole picture: your history with restriction, your nervous system, the wellness/diet culture messages you’ve absorbed, and the pressure to do everything “right.”
Food may have become the place where your anxiety, perfectionism, self-worth, and fear about your health and body all collide.
I know this, because I’ve lived it. yay!
Maybe This Started Long Before You Realized it
At first, it can look like “being healthy.”
You want to eat well and be disciplined and take care of your body. You follow the rules, cut out certain foods, and try to “be good.” You may genuinely be investing in your health (or your looks and appearance— and that’s ok!).
But some days those cookies in the kitchen just annoyingly call your name. Or, you can’t even keep them in the house because you can’t trust yourself around “bad” food.
Perhaps, despite all your effort—you’d binge. Like me, watching Downton Abbey with a box of pizza, kit-kats, and cheetos.
Then you’d feel guilty and ashamed, so you’d go back to being disciplined again with but with way more willpower this time!!
Day 1 (again) would be on Monday, or on the 1st of a new month, or after a big event, or when you turn 30. 32. 35. 37. 40. 50. 60?
When Pregnancy or Motherhood Is Involved, the Pressure ExplodesIf you’re pregnant (or hoping to be), food stops feeling neutral.
Every bite feels loaded. Every binge feels terrifying. You worry you’re harming your baby or failing before you’ve even begun.
Postpartum doesn’t make this disappear.
It often makes it worse.
Your body feels unfamiliar. Your identity shifts. You’re exhausted and expected to “bounce back.” Food becomes control, comfort, or survival.
None of this means you’re doing it wrong.
It means your nervous system is overwhelmed.
The Real Problem No One Names
Binge eating and orthorexic patterns are driven by two things:
Deprivation and nervous system stress.
Restriction—physical or mental—creates urgency.
Fear keeps the cycle alive.
That’s why diets, protocols, supplements, and even well-meaning therapy haven’t worked. They focused on behavior, not what’s underneath.
A Different Way Forward
This work is about rebuilding trust with food, your body, and yourself.
I teach the evidence-based Intuitive Eating paradigm, provide trauma-informed support, and rely on science (not wellness fear-mongering) to bring you relief that lasts.
This isn’t a quick fix. It’s a slow boat ride with lots to see and uncover along the way.
What It’s Like to Work With Me
Our work is:
Compassionate and grounded
Structured but flexible
Honest, nuanced, and practical
I don’t give you another system to follow perfectly.
I help you rebuild critical thinking, self-trust, and steadiness around food.
I bring my background as a PharmD, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, Integrative Health Practitioner, and Perinatal Mental Health–trained clinician—and lived experience with binge eating, orthorexia, pregnancy, and postpartum.
On the Other Side of ThisFood quiets down. Binges lose urgency.
Your body stops feeling like a problem to solve.
You stop postponing your life until you feel “ready” or “fixed.” You feel capable, steady, and calm.
Because you learned how to listen to your body, and how to trust yourself.
I get it! Love, SJ
“When I started the Intuitive Eating book, I new I would need guidance. This process is a very new way of thinking about food and the whole diet culture. My whole intuition screamed at me that this is it! The way things are suppose to be. I looked in the back of the book for a coach near me. I found Sarah-Jane. She has been my rock in this journey. She has been by my side through out this process. She knows her material and gets it across very effectively. Sarah-Jane is very compassionate about this process. She has been through the journey herself. That was very important to me. Experience is the real life. I so thank Sarah-Jane for walking beside me and she still does. A genuine experience I am glad I have had the privilege to walk. Whether we are big or small we all share the same diet culture rules. Getting rid of all these rules leaves a whole lot of life free of feeling guilt.What a life changer! Thank you IE and Sarah-Jane.”
