For a long time, I have held onto the identity of being a nutritionist. It felt safe, familiar, and was such a big part of who I was and how I helped others. In 2011, I graduated as a Holistic Nutritionist and built a successful practice. I loved the work I did and the way food could transform lives.
But as with any journey, I began to evolve. My work with women, as well as my personal experience with food, led me to see that the deeper issue wasn’t just the food. Yes, nutrition plays a vital role in our health, but what became clear was that the relationship we have with food often mirrors the relationship we have with ourselves.
When I began to peel back the layers, I realized that food was a doorway into understanding self-worth, old stories, limiting beliefs, and unhealed wounds.
As I started working on my own self-worth and the stories I believed, it became so clear. The real change happens when we look at the connection between our beliefs, feelings, and how much we value ourselves.
That’s where I am now—at a point where I’m shifting my focus. Nutrition has been an important part of my journey, and I wouldn’t be here without taking that path. But I’ve moved beyond the label of “nutritionist.” I’ve learned that true healing is about so much more. It’s about soul work, shifting your mindset, letting go of limiting beliefs, and embracing your self-worth. It starts with nurturing the relationship you have with yourself, because only then can you truly build a healthy relationship with food.
Stepping away from the identity I have held for so long is hard and I’m still working through it. There’s a sense of loss in letting go of that label, but there’s also so much freedom. My journey has taken me to new depths, and now my work is not about helping women reconnect with who they truly are.
If you’ve ever felt that pull to evolve beyond what you once knew, know that it’s okay to shift. We are allowed to change, grow, and embrace new aspects of our journey. The evolution is part of the work, and sometimes, letting go of what we thought we were opens the door to becoming who we are meant to be.
I’m still on this path, and if you are too, let’s walk it together.
