How Jessica got into working with others as a dietitianThe disempowerment that clients feelHow could we approach clients in a comfortable and secure manner
Itâs a huge step to reach out to a professional for help, because being vulnerable can be scary! Jessicaâs goal with her clients is to create a safe place where people can explore ways to heal from disordered eating, emotional eating and binge eating without shame, without useless âhelpful hintsâ, but understanding you as a human being with needs and a need for unconditional support.

After working as a dietitian and clinical counsellor for 15 years, it's become so natural to collaborate with clients that it feels like the answer to this question is to follow the natural flow.

Hello!
One topic that has been frequently discussed for a long time has been the myth of food addiction. As a note, addiction is a large subject on its own and the current studies are somewhat nebulous on how it could affect our relationship with food.
Despite this, Jessica discusses the question of how to practice eating intuitively if one feels like they have a food addiction. Jessica references several literature sources on what is addiction (see the transcript), and hypotheses on food addictionâs etiology. Take with a grain of salt that this episode scratches the surface on the topic of addiction but is tailored from a food lens.

Does raincouver ever give off a chilling vibe? Sort of like how we can get an uneasy feeling about our bodies from the judgement and shaming of eating.
