As a trauma-informed provider, I strive to create safe spaces for people to explore their relationship to food & their bodies. Here is how one of my clients responded to this approach:
“You have never once made me feel shame, embarrassment, or judgment. You just make me feel safe – our personal connection, the language you use around food, and even bringing playfulness into a place that previously felt so heavy. I love that we collaborated in a way where we got to work on parts of myself that I had never shared or worked on before. That made me feel really seen and understood.”
I specialize in digestive difficulties, disordered eating, and nutrition for trauma healing. But really, my goal is to connect with You as a person. You are so much more than your body, your weight, or any diagnostic label. All of You is welcome here – your pain and frustration, every single one of intersecting identities, and everything you think is “too much” or “not enough”.

You’re so knowledgeable and your reputation preceded you. I was nervous to meet with you but the other clients told me "You’re going to love Naia" and they were right! You helped me put my identity back together and I will always hold that with me.
