Expert Nutrition Counseling For…

  • As a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, I love helping my clients navigate this. We can work on the 10 principles like making peace with food, discovering the satisfaction factor, feeling your fullness, gentle movement, and more!

  • Maybe you don’t have a formal eating disorder diagnosis, but you feel something is off in your relationship with food. Maybe you’re stuck chronic dieting patterns, or have preoccupation with your food and body, struggle with emotional eating or compulsive exercise, etc. I can help. Food freedom is possible!

  • I specialize in Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder, OSFED, and Orthorexia for adults.

  • I can provide nutrition support for general medical nutrition issues such as diabetes, POCS, IBS, high blood pressure, etc.

  • Body image healing is so important in healing our relationship with food. Body image healing is woven into all aspects of nutrition counseling if that is what you need.

There is a large spectrum of nutrition concerns. Whether you have general questions about health and wellness or you are struggling with an eating disorder, I can help. I am a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor as well as undergoing supervision for my CEDRD (Certified Eating Disorder Registered Dietitian) certification.

“I really liked working with Barissa. She made me feel welcomed and comfortable. She challenged a lot of my thoughts around nutrition in a non-judgemental way. A year later and I still utilize a lot of the tools and handouts she gave me.”
