It Takes a Village
Michaela Whitehead, LPC

In preparation for this blog, I found myself searching to find a topic about which I felt enthused to write. Hoping for some ideas and inspiration, I called upon a group of fellow moms whom I connected with when my first child was born.

It is very normal to be curious what “normal eating” looks like. I often hear “I just want to eat like a normal person.” How do we define normal eating? What makes something normal or abnormal?

7 Things Healthy People Do Every Morning
Dana Hampson, LPC-S
General
26 June 2018

Ok...so, I'm cheating this week. I admit it. It's my week to write and I've allowed myself to be stretched too thin and as a result I'm late writing and have one too many things on my plate! But, as I tell many a client, these are the results of my choices and while I don't regret all the things I've been doing, I do recognize that I need to take a step back and slow it down. I preach mindfulness...it's important to practice it as well!

So, what is a dietitian, exactly?
Chelsea Edwards, RDN, LD
General
15 June 2018

“What is a dietitian?” It’s a question I hear a lot. Most people assume, thanks to the title, that we just make diets for people. While that can be true, dietitians are able to do so much more than create a diet for someone. Registered Dietitian Nutritionists are the food and nutrition experts.

Self-Care September
Sunday, 10 September 2023

September is National Self-Care Awareness Month. So this month, don’t feel guilty for having a little extra “me time”. The term “self-care” has become more and more popular throughout the years, but I still get the question, “What actually is self-care?” from a lot of clients. From my experience, it is definitely NOT eating a whole bag of Doritos in one sitting. Just in case anyone was wondering.

Relational Connection: Why is it so hard sometimes?
Wednesday, 28 June 2023

As social creatures we long for safe connections with others.  And yet often this experience eludes us and leads to feelings of isolation and loneliness.  What creates this disconnection? And how can we make a shift towards connection with safe others?  While this shift is very possible, I also recognize that it is very hard work. The hard work is well worth it when we find safe relational connections.
