Where you’re at …
It’s a tough time. Energy and therefore motivation are very low. It’s difficult to concentrate, sometimes/all the time you’re easily distracted. Sweet & salty foods are very attractive as they lift you up, but there’s a guilt attached to these foods after you’ve eaten them. Sometimes you don’t look in the mirror because you don’t like the person staring back. You have an internal negative dialogue that’s difficult to dial down. You feel anxious in new situations and turn down invitations because they’re too hard to cope with.

How can working with Paula help you?
Together, we will use mindset techniques and diet to sooth thoughts at head level and re-establish a healthy gut microbiome (a part of the brain-gut axis). Energy is expected to increase as is an interest in the wider world (motivation & concentration). By nourishing (vs. punishing) with food to reduce cravings and binge eating. To use food as a pleasure and not as a mill stone.
