Professional Bio
As a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, Eating Psychology Coach and Holistic Health Coach, Renee helps women and men cultivate a nourishing, trusting, peaceful and relaxed relationship with food and their body.
Her holistic, weight-neutral, non-diet approach focuses on developing health-promoting, pleasurable and sustainable self-care practices.
Clients become more attuned to their internal cues of hunger and fullness; stop chronic dieting; release food rules, guilt and shame; reduce cravings, emotional eating and overeating; experience greater satisfaction from eating and movement; elevate body appreciation and acceptance; discover how to best nourish their unique body; improve energy and mood; and more.
Renee is part of an empowering, positive movement that approaches food, body and health challenges from a soulful place of compassion, curiosity, nourishment, pleasure and innate body wisdom.
