      "I tried a million different things before... This was literally LIFE CHANGING."

      -Kathleen

        What if the key to health wasn’t about forcing change, but was found in the relationship with yourself?

        Every year, millions of people make the same resolutions: lose weight, eat better, be healthier. And every year, they fall back into the same patterns. Why? Because they focus on quick fixes instead of asking the deeper questions.

        When you trust yourself with food, understand the patterns that hold you back, and learn to work in partnership with your body, you create a foundation for health that feels natural and effortless.

        True health is not restricting your food. It's the relationship you have with yourself.

        "Holy Moly! I woke up this morning with a sense of inner peace that I have never experienced before. This is changing the story of my life." - Sara

        The Empowered Self Program:

        The Foundation of Mastering Mindfulness™️


        For too long, we've been led to believe that health comes from outside ourselves—strict diets, rigid rules, and sheer willpower. But these approaches often leave us feeling stuck and disconnected from our true needs.

        This 8-week journey is different. It’s about discovering the power within you to create lasting change by nurturing a deeper relationship with yourself. Together, we'll uncover what's really holding you back, rebuild self-trust, and embrace a new approach to food and health that feels natural and sustainable.

        As you dive into each week's topic, you'll unlock new possibilities, develop profound self-awareness, and cultivate the confidence to navigate your health and life with clarity and ease.

        Week 1: Opening New Possibility

        Beginning the Path to a Deeper Self discovery and a New Possibility with Food

        This first week is about uncovering what’s really been holding you back

        —not so you can control food better, but so you can finally experience a new way of relating to food, your body, and yourself.

        When you shift from trying to "fix" your eating to understanding what’s beneath the surface , you unlock something powerful:

        ✨A deeper awareness of why food feels hard—and how to make peace with it

        ✨A new way to work with your body instead of fighting against it

        ✨ The first step toward freedom, ease, and self-trust in your eating and your life

        This is where your journey begins—opening up a new possibility.

These techniques have been featured at academic universities, world renowned health spas, and well respected global conferences.

        Meet the Team

        I'm a classically trained registered dietitian with a masters degree in human nutrition.

        For a long time, I followed all the traditional rules around food and health, but something wasn’t clicking—for me or my clients.

        It felt like we were missing a big piece of the puzzle. That’s when I started digging deeper into human behavior and how our relationship with food mirrors the relationship we have with ourselves. What I discovered changed everything.

        Now, I teach a new approach that helps people find more success—not by forcing change, but by building a better connection with themselves and their bodies.

        Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to teach these methods at universities, global conferences, and some of the world’s leading health centers.

        It’s been a journey, but I’m so excited to share what I’ve learned and see how it transforms the way we approach health.

        Frequently Asked Questions

        I've tried so many programs already, how is this program different from other health or diet programs?

        This program is not about following another plan or set of rules—it’s about shifting the way you think about food, your body, and your health. Most programs focus on what to eat; we focus on why things feel hard in the first place and how to create a lasting sense of ease and alignment. This approach works from the inside out, helping you address the root causes of what’s kept you stuck.

        What if I’m too busy to keep up with the program?

        This program is designed to fit into your life, not overwhelm it. With weekly live sessions and simple at-home practices, you’ll have the flexibility to go at your own pace. The tools you’ll learn are ones you can use every day, even in small moments, to create meaningful shifts over time.

        What if I can’t make it to every live session?

        Don’t worry! All live sessions are recorded, so you can catch up whenever it works for you. Plus, the at-home practices and community support ensure you stay connected and on track, even if you miss a session.

        What if I’m unsure about making the investment?

        This program is designed to give you more than just short-term results. It’s an investment in learning skills and mindsets that you can rely on for the rest of your life. Many participants say the shifts they experience here are unlike anything they’ve tried before, because this isn’t about another quick fix—it’s about creating real, lasting change.

        Will this program require me to share personal things with others?

        While this program invites you to explore your relationship with food, your body, and yourself, you’re always in control of how much you share. The live sessions are supportive and focused on learning and reflection, and you’ll have private at-home practices for deeper self-exploration.

        Does this program include meal plans or food rules?

        Not at all! This program isn’t about restriction or dieting. Instead, it’s about learning to trust yourself with food and make choices that feel aligned with your body and your needs—without guilt or fear.

        Do I need to have experience with mindfulness to join? What if I'm not good at it?

        Not at all! This program is designed to meet you where you are. Whether you’re new to mindfulness or have some experience, you’ll be guided step-by-step to develop tools that feel accessible and practical in your daily life.

        What if I don’t struggle with cravings or emotional eating?

        This program is about much more than cravings. It’s designed to help you develop a stronger relationship with yourself, uncover patterns you may not even realize are holding you back, and approach health with ease and confidence. Whether cravings are an issue or not, you’ll learn tools that can benefit every area of your life.

        Will this program be emotionally overwhelming?

        This program is designed to feel supportive, not overwhelming. While it invites you to explore deeper patterns and beliefs, everything is done at your own pace and with gentle guidance. You’ll always have the tools and resources you need to feel grounded and safe throughout the process.

        How do I know if this will work? What if I'm afraid I'll fail?

        This program isn’t about achieving perfection—it’s about learning and growing. There’s no way to “fail” here because every step of the journey offers valuable insights about yourself. If something feels challenging, it’s simply an opportunity to uncover patterns, beliefs, or habits you may not have noticed before. This program is designed to meet you where you are and give you the tools to move forward in a way that feels meaningful and right for you. As long as you’re willing to show up and explore, you’ll experience progress in ways that last.
