Learning, practice & support to help you and your family foster a more peaceful relationship with food and your bodies
Coaching Programs
When you first start to become aware of your unique relationship with food and body, and how your life’s history and experiences influences the way you eat and take care of yourself today, it can be overwhelming and filled with emotions.
It’s a daunting process to start down the road of improving your relationship with food and your body. But having a good coach can make all the difference.
We keep it positive and supportive to help you gain insight into your habits, learn how they may or may not be serving you, and practice the skills to make changes that improve your wellbeing.
Coaching is a great tool to get that one-on-one support from a trusted professional, rather than piecing together a plan from all corners of the internet.
We offer coaching services for: ADHD Meal Planning, Intuitive Eating (coming soon!), and Child Feeding (coming soon!).
Coaching is available across the US and takes place over video chat. Learn more about our coaching programs below.
ADHD Meal Planning Coaching
Many adults with ADHD already know what they “should” be doing to feed themselves. You may have downloaded meal planners, purchased cookbooks and apps, bought groceries with good intentions, and tried the Sunday all-day meal prep-a-thon.
But the problem with most meal prep strategies is they are designed for neurotypical folks, and aren’t always the best approach for beautiful neurodivergent brains.
This program is a great fit for you if:
You struggle to figure out what to eat, even when you’re hungry
Food feels like a chore, and you’re easily overwhelmed by meal planning and food decisions
Groceries seem to enter a black hole the minute they go in your refrigerator, never to be seen again until they are a shriveled, slimy, moldy mess
Meal prep and cooking feels impossible, especially during the week
You feel like you rely too much on takeout, convenience foods, or a small rotation of meals
Your eating routines flip-flop depending on your energy levels or schedule
Eating feels inconsistent and at times chaotic
Program Format & Structure
This program takes place through five (5) 1-hour long video coaching sessions over the course of 8 weeks.
During each coaching session, you’ll have 1-on-1 support with Stephanie to talk about your specific needs, challenges, and preferences.
Together, we’ll create a meal planning system that works for you, your life, and your brain!

Session Outline
A good coaching program provides balance between providing enough information to help you make changes quickly, but not so much information that it’s overwhelming.
While tempting (especially for ADHD minds), it’s usually not the most effective to try and make 12,467 changes all at the same time.
With this suggested structure, the first two sessions take place 1 week apart, then remaining three sessions take place every other week. As a result, you hit the ground running with immediate support, then over time you have more space to practice, experiment, and refine the strategies that are most helpful for you.
Of course, life has a way of derailing our best laid plans. That’s why this structure is suggested. Depending on availability and your preference, we may adjust the schedule to best suit your needs.
-
Explore current eating patterns, challenges, preferences, routines, and goals. Identify the biggest barriers and choose initial priorities.
-
Develop a personalized meal idea “menu”, easy meal formulas, and strategies for decision fatigue.
-
Build a realistic planning and grocery shopping system, including convenient foods and backup options.
-
Work through meal prep challenges, task initiation, cooking shortcuts, and low-capacity days.
-
Review what worked, troubleshoot what didn’t work, and refine your flexible ongoing strategy
