Nutrition Counselling to Befriend Food & Body
With Intuitive Eating Dietitian &

Selene Yan
So that you can live joyfully in your body and have peace with eating.
Because you only have one body. And it deserves nourishment and care.
And it’s possible to move away from fighting with food (and yourself) so that you have the time for more important things in your life.
Hi, I'm Selene!
Many of us begin life with a natural ability to respond to our bodies’ needs for nourishment. But as we grow up, our relationship with food is shaped by the culture and people around us.
We may start to worry about how we look or what we eat. We learn to follow food rules, like avoiding carbs or not eating after a certain time, even when our bodies are telling us something different.
Over time, we can lose touch with our own hunger, fullness, and needs. Past experiences with dieting, body changes, or feeling uncomfortable in our bodies can leave us caught in a cycle of anxiety, worry, and frustration around food.
Does any of this sound familiar? You’re not alone.
With support, it’s possible to reconnect with your body’s inner wisdom, feel more at ease around food, and build confidence in your ability to nourish yourself.

My Approach
I offer a mind-body approach to nutrition that is weight-inclusive and trauma-informed. I believe that bodies of all sizes deserve adequate nourishment and care.
Working with me includes building practical skills to honour gentle nutrition, unlearn diet mentality, and reconnect with your body.
Honour gentle nutrition
Eat enough food to meet your body's biological nutrition needs.
Build a meal planning & food routine that works for your lifestyle, manages chronic conditions & digestive concerns.
Unlearn the diet mentality
Identify the food rules that keep you stuck & develop flexibility with eating.
Attend to concerns around emotional eating and food cravings.
Reconnect to your body
Learn your body's unique cues for hunger & fullness.
Find ways to soothe a dysregulated nervous system & build capacity for eating.
Build body neutrality
Move away from "I hate my body" thoughts towards a kinder relationship with yourself.
Understand your body's physical & emotional needs.
Who I Work With
I work with anyone who desires a more peaceful relationship with food & body. This involves people who struggle with eating disorders and disordered eating, or people who simply want to strengthen their mind-body connection to support lifelong eating habits.
I also support anyone wanting to manage a chronic condition like IBS or PCOS using a non-diet approach.
Eating Disorders
I work with the full spectrum of eating disorders including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and ARFID.
Chronic Dieting
I work with disordered eating concerns including chronic dieting & weight cycling, anxiety with eating, binge eating, and confusion with nutrition information.
Intuitive Eating & Embodiment
I work with those wanting to eat more intuitively, build body wisdom & live more fully in their bodies.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome
I take a combined diet-mind-body approach to reduce GI distress like abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation and gas.
