It seems we can't find what you're looking for.

Facebook-f Instagram Linkedin-in

If you have goals with food, nutrition, weight or your health then this is for you. You know what to do... but you can't seem to consistently execute.

Why is that?

I see about 7 things that consistently keep my clients from reaching their goals and a couple of them might surprise you!

Come learn what might be holding you back

Wednesday October 5th 6:30pm EST

I'll be hosting the masterclass here:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/197366295234197

You can search FB for the group "Emotional Eating - I know what to do, so why don't I do it" or DM me and I'll send you the link!

Welcome in Autumn. So glad you’re here.

If you know that you could be living a happier, more energetic, fulfilled life and your relationship with food and your body is holding you back, I want to help you.

Life is too short to spend it obsessing about the size of your body and what you’re going to eat.

Excess weight, emotional eating, stress eating, bingeing, obsessive thoughts about food and body, chronic dieting… they’re ALL symptoms of something deeper.

Let’s get to the root cause shall we? So you can start to focus on what you want to create in this life!!

Link in bio for how to work with me. Our Women’s group Authentic Nourishment starts soon. Application deadline October 12th.

It’s that time again! I couldn’t be more excited to announce my next women’s group.

In order to create our ideal relationship with food and stop the madness of our unwanted food behaviors we have to do the deeper work to understand ourselves and why we use food the way we do.

If you are ready to finally heal your struggles with food, nutrition, weight and body image and finally treat yourself with the care and love and respect you deserve, join us!

The group is limited to a small number of self aware women who are at the right time in their lives to do this work.

Check out Authentic Nourishment link in bio to apply. Life will never be the same! 🙌🏻💖

October 12th application deadline

Often clients tell me they feel like if they give themselves grace and compassion they feel like they’re “letting themselves off the hook” too easily.

You are worthy of grace and compassion always. But it doesn’t mean we don’t aim high and do our best.

Set high standards and then be kind to yourself when your humanness dictates that you fall short of your goal.

It’s astonishing to me that one of the first things we’re NOT taught is that it’s our J.O.B. to learn how to take care of our health.

The power of discernment is yours and yours alone. You get to decide what makes you come alive and feel strong and healthy and you get to decide what makes you feel depleted and burdened. This is a beautiful thing!!!

What would it look like and feel like for you to own your health 100%? What would you do? What would you stop doing?

I’m hosting a group starting in October to help guide a small group of women back to their most vibrant relationship with themselves, their health, nourishment and their bodies. Check the link in bio for the Authentic Nourishment program.

You are the only one that knows what's right for you.

The reason none of those plans is working for you long term is because it was designed by someone else who doesn't know how it feels to be you.

Until you do the work to learn what feels right in your own body, food and nourishment will be an unnecessary struggle.

It doesn't have to be so hard. Just start to slow down and notice how things make you feel.

Ask yourself... Is this energizing and nourishing me? Or is this depleting me and feeling like a rule?

If you need guidance and support healing your relationship with yourself, with food and with your body, I'd be honored to help.

Much love,
Margaret

So many of us are waiting to be the perfect versions of ourselves to take action.
Don’t. Wait.

Self-love is defined as having a high regard for one’s own well-being and happiness.

While doing something "nice" for ourselves occasionally is a lovely deed, self love and self care goes beyond that. I see it as an ongoing commitment to care for ourselves well, rooted in a deep appreciation for oneself and our existence.

Through loving actions and this commitment to ourselves, we feel a more grounded presence and our lives can expand in a way that produces strength in challenging times, compassion for our insecurities and a more centered feeling about all dimensions of life.

Healing our challenges with food and body come from this higher regard for ourselves and our care. When we love ourselves well, we can stop participating in harmful acts and lean into the desire to do what's truly right and compassionate for our heart, body, mind and soul.

I was knocked to the ground by a diagnosis. I was told I would never overcome it.

Thank goodness I had the courage to challenge the doctors and the “conventional” approach. Thank goodness I had the courage to believe in myself and my body’s ability to heal.

Healing the diagnosis was really a result of healing my relationship with myself.

Please do not give your power away to someone that doesn’t know your inner strength.

Whatever it is you want to do. It’s possible. What is it that you need to believe more about yourself?

Stress. It’s at the root of so many unwanted behaviors and consequences with food and body.

We need to learn how to effectively manage our stress in order to take back our peace and our best health.

Our society puts so much emphasis on efforting... but one element of transformation that I see too often overlooked is our vision. Everything starts with your vision for what you want.

Desire is born in our hearts and if you have a vision of what you want, you can trust that it is yours to have.

First, put your energy into creating clarity in your vision. What do you want? What does that look like? How do you feel in your life and in your body when you have this vision? Get clear and specific and then meditate on that daily.

From there, you can start to do the practical work of getting it. Move consistently and assuredly toward your goals with your vision in mind.

When we identify foods as good and bad, it can cause us to rebel against those ideas and often create even more unwanted food behaviors.

Yes there are foods that are higher quality than others and therefore offer more value to the body, but each of us gets to decide what works for us… and attempting to label foods using morality can totally backfire.

Can we instead learn how particular foods make us feel? And whether they align with our goals?

#authenticnourishment #foodisnotmoral #goodfoodbadfood

After over a decade helping my clients overcome unwanted eating behaviors to reach their goals… I can tell you beyond the shadow of a doubt…

It’s not the food.

In order to heal our relationship with food and our bodies, we have to do the deeper work and heal our relationship with ourselves.

But we know.

Our health is our responsibility.

Friendship. Long-standing, authentic, sturdy, real, honest, vulnerable, supportive, hysterically funny, laugh out loud, got your back, through thick and thin, friendship.

Isn’t it just the best?!

Nourishment comes not only in the form of the food that we eat, but it encompasses all that sustains the development and fulfillment of our body, mind and spirit.

Everyone has things that uniquely nourish them. There are 3 sources of my authentic nourishment in this photo. ❤️❤️❤️

Can you name them? 😊

#authenticnourishment #nourished #3things

It’s in many ways a brilliant strategy for us to use food, alcohol, shopping or porn to try to fill the emptiness we may feel at times.

But healing our obsessive and unwanted behaviors requires looking deeper into our heart’s desire.
