About
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Certified Nutritionist with a BA in Psychology, and a MA in Professional Counseling.
Like so many of you, for a long time I could not imagine a life that didn’t revolve around chasing happiness through food and my body.
Hi! I'm Ryann
CERTIFIED BY:
ONCE UPON A TIME I BELIEVED
If I lost The weight, all of my problems would be solved.
If you’ve ever felt out of control around food, overexercised, hated what you saw in the mirror, stole food, spent thousands of dollars on weight loss “solutions," let me tell you, I’ve been there. In 2016, I was at my breaking point and decided to turn my life around.
Since then, I’ve been determined to chase happiness in ways that didn’t involve food and body image. Now I dedicate my life to giving that hope to others.
Let me be your beacon of hope to show you that there is life beyond disordered eating: A place where food merely fuels your life rather than consuming your life.
Providing tips, In an easy-to-understand way, on how to heal your disordered relationship with food and your body.
Soon after, my little place on the Internet grew into a full-fledged online business and private practice.
What happiness looks like now:
Freedom to choose the foods I want, not the one I feel like I should have
Hiking with my husband and pup, (and not my apple watch!)
Joining in for a spontaneous girls brunch without stressing about calories
Reading a thriller novel instead of the newest diet book
Enjoying soul-filling conversations with family and friends that don’t involve weight loss
Not having a scale in the house, and not even thinking twice about it
Truly believing that while food gives me life, it is not my entire life

Work With Ryann
I believe that everyone has the strength to heal themselves
I'm committed to helping you overcome your struggles with emotional eating, overexercising, and yo-yo dieting.
I believe that anyone can take back their life and make health and wellness a part of that life, without it being their whole life. That's why I am committed to helping those with these struggles overcome them.
I am focused on inspiring and shaping each woman who walks through my “doors” so that they can learn how to take control of their life once and for all.
Yes, please
