Connected Eating:
An online program to build the relationship with food you’ve always dreamed about
Feel at home in your body. For good.
You’re tired of constantly thinking about food. Exhausted from the cycle of overly emotional eating, diet attempts, and dealing with a culture that’s robbed you of your best self.
Ready to stop fighting with food and your body and start making peace?
There is a version of your life that includes food without baggage or binge-eating. There is a way to stop fighting— with yourself, your doctor, your years of feeling both less than and too much for everyone else.
Yes, there is a life where you can enjoy a meal with carbs and you don’t count the calories.
There is a life where you make peace with yourself and, in turn, are free to be the version you’ve always wanted to be.
→ What if you weren’t consumed by food every waking moment?
→ What if you enjoyed grocery shopping, and cooking food for your family was a source of joy, not pain?
With Jessica’s help, you can ditch the dieting for good.
(Yes, really. You can.)
Hi, I’m Jessica.
For 15 years, I’ve helped people like you live life to the full— without the cycle of food restriction and shame.
I’m a Registered Dietitian and Registered Clinical Counsellor that has worked in the area of disordered eating since 2006. My work empowers people to release the out-of-control way of life and restore their relationship with food— and their minds. In the Connected Eating Online Group Program, I will walk you through the work it takes to discover an enriching relationship with both your body and the food you eat.
You’ve been at this alone— or with the wrong help— for too long.
You’ve seen the nutritionist, the therapist, the doctor. You’ve tried (and invested in!) every diet and fad. You’ve tracked and counted and restricted everything from rice to breakfast.
This cycle is expensive, exhausting— and leaves you feeling powerless. And alone.
You feel like no one understands, and the shame of feeling like you’re not taking care of your body makes you feel even more isolated.
You’re ready for something to work for the long haul, even when you have a day that would typically send you spiraling.
How will this work when everything else I’ve tried has failed?
Connected eating is different. It’s not a rigid plan you need to follow. Connected eating is knowing what your body needs— and using intuitive eating at the right pace.
My expertise about what a body needs AND how diet culture and fat-phobia have restricted your life makes me uniquely fitted to speak with confidence about both how you eat and how you think about food.
It’s time you let go of the years of weight bias, fat-phobia, and diet culture and regain your body as your own—
a body that is good, that is healthy, that is enough.

FAQs
How is this different from everything I’ve done before?
We unpack the shame stories so that you are empowered to be your own advocate— even when people second guess your thinking. Taking the time to dismantle this corrupt way of thinking allows you to shift not just the way you live, but your entire mindset around food.
Will you teach me to count calories? Because I’ve been there and could teach that class myself.
Nope! We’ll learn the science of what your body needs, but more importantly how to intuitively UNDERSTAND what your body needs. You are the expert on your body, and I am here to help you listen to him/her.
How much time will it take to complete the program?
The program has pre-recorded videos that range from 10-30 minutes in length, that can be completed at your own pace. Each module is aimed to stimulate thought and small changes that you can implement. You are very busy, this process does not need to be another burden. In fact, the goal of the program is to lessen your load. To make eating easier.
Will my extended benefits plan cover the program?
All benefits plans are different. However, if your plan covers either Registered Dietitians or Registered Clinical Counsellors, ask if they also cover group sessions. If so, email us to get a detailed receipt to be able to submit for reimbursement at support@shiftnutrition.com
Can I expect to lose weight?
No. I don’t make any claims about what your body needs to do. I give you the tools to know and enjoy life as a more mindful and intuitive eater, and the skills to develop a mindset regarding eating that makes sense for you.
