Food — even the thought of it — makes you anxious and negatively impacts your relationships with family, friends, and colleagues.
You’re in the right place - and you're not alone.
Self-compassion and reparenting are easy-to-learn, quick-to-implement skills that will fundamentally change your relationship with food, yourself, and the world in which you live.

“Jessica's Transformational Eating class lived up to its title - it was truly transformational for me. I've been in therapy many times to address disordered eating and didn't realize how much I needed to experience a group setting. Jessica's gentle leadership and the community of women I met in the class helped me find the ease I've been searching for when dealing with my relationship with food. More importantly, the class opened a door for a new relationship with myself where I am not seeking perfection in everything I do and instead am tending to my heart.”
What Is Self-Compassion?
Self-compassion is the active extension of warmth and understanding towards ourselves, when we suffer, fail, or feel inadequate. It’s a conscious, purposeful, engagement of one's heart, with a foundation in common humanity, self-kindness, and mindfulness.
Common Humanity
Suffering is universal
Self-Kindness
Being with ourselves in a kind, vulnerable way
Mindfulness
An open, non-judgmental awareness of being here with ourselves, right now

Reparenting
We are our histories. As a result, patterns and beliefs established as children typically live with us throughout our lives, consciously and unconsciously informing what we do, what we think, how we feel, and how we react.
Reparenting involves identifying and addressing these negative patterns and beliefs from childhood. By connecting with our inner child and providing support, care, and guidance, we can establish a healthier and more affirmative relationship with our present-day selves.
Although we can’t alter how we were parented or treated as children, we can take charge of our healing process today by nurturing our inner child. Doing so allows us to take accountability for our own well-being, while providing the freedom to let go of resentment or blame.
By combining self-compassion with reparenting, you can heal more effectively, build a stronger sense of self-worth, and develop long-term emotional resilience.

Hello, and welcome!
I’m a Stanford-certified compassion teacher, clinical nutritionist, and author. I have over ten years of training in reparenting and inner-child work that provides a direct link to the root cause of disordered and emotional eating.
Over nearly 25 years, I’ve helped thousands of people heal — physically, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. My experiences and learnings inspired “The Loving Diet,” one of the first mind-body books supporting those with autoimmune diseases.
In recent years, I’ve dedicated myself and my practice to helping those struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, and emotional eating, with an emphasis on chronic illness, menopause, and gut restoration.
My coaching centers on clients’ belief systems and emotions unlike traditional therapists and other mental health professionals. By blending compassion-based work with reparenting, I take a holistic approach to healing that resides at the intersection of the heart and body.
I work with clients in both small groups and focused one-on-one consultations.
