Join the Food Freedom CommunityCake Over Keto is a non-diet and weight inclusive podcast that helps you make peace with food and your body. So you can focus on the stuff in your life that really matters; not what the scale says or the 3547 thoughts about eating or not. I help people who find food and eating is taking over their life.
LISTEN HEREIf you're feeling lost in your body or overwhelmed, not knowing where to begin, the empower hour is for you.
Let's have an informal chat about what's on your mind.
No pressure, no expectations but a safe place to talk with someone who actively listens and gets it (me).
What would it feel like to be heard and understood? To be supported and guided unconditionally? And to have your hand held through the icky stuff?
I am your cheerleader, coach and consultant. So you can rediscover YOU again.

WORK TOGETHERIsn't 'not dieting' just an excuse to eat everything?
Not understanding what's really involved, it's common to assume intuitive eating (IE) is just an excuse to eat whatever you want. That it's 'unhealthy' and 'lazy' which couldn't be further from the truth. At it's heart, IE is about body respect and self care.

THE WAKEMAN NUTRITION COLLECTION - downloadable fact sheets and information guides
CLICK TO ACCESSYes of course you can but do you have 20 years worth of skills, knowledge and experience you can use to ensure you succeed? Knowing what we need to do and actually doing it are very different things. If we all did what we thought we should there would be no obesity epidemic, 16% of all deaths would not be due to heart disease and 24,000 people with diabetes would not die early in England each year. I help you understand and manage the thought processes that often sabotage our success. By understanding our emotional connections with food and the factors that affect our motivation you will break free from the viscous cycles that continually throw us off the wagon.
There is certainly more than enough information about nutrition and health available at our fingertips but most of it is inaccurate. The media often over simplify and over hype news stories and much of what we read is written by unqualified people making untrue claims. This has resulted in mass confusion and misunderstanding about what we should and shouldn’t be doing when it comes to our diet. My qualifications and experience mean I will without doubt, use my expertise to provide correct, evidenced-based and safe advice. In other words you get a non nonsense approach which means you get realistic and practical advise that actually works.
That is absolutely fine! I know what it’s like trying to make a big change and feeling scared. The biggest growth happens when we push outside of our comfort zone and try something new. Don’t waste any more time trying to figure it out on your own. If you have got to this point then it’s very simple. Just book in for a no obligation call with me. This is why I have an application process. It’s as much about whether I can help you, as you wanting to be helped by me, to see if we are a good fit. So really you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. On the call we will talk about what you want to achieve, how long that would take and if this program is right for you.
