Nina Kaufmann

Through the years of working with clients as an intuitive eating nutritionist, I’ve often heard them say, “Well, this is not at all what I expected from working with a nutritionist. I thought you’d give me a list of foods I should and shouldn’t eat, but this works so much better!” Many of my clients come to me feeling exhausted by diets and overwhelmed by food obsession.
Or to quote one of my clients, “Just when I was about to become a hermit who only drinks water or invite an exorcist, I saw your article about relationship with food.
It clicked right away – I didn’t have a problem with weight, I had a problem with food relationship.”

People who come to me are just tired of the endless cycle of restriction and binge eating, and they just want to feel normal around food again.

They’re looking for a way to nourish themselves that feels sustainable, healthy, and freeing – without constantly being at war with their bodies.

A Different Approach: What Working with an Intuitive Eating Nutritionist Looks Like

That’s where I come in! Instead of focusing weight loss and rigid meal plans, I take a different approach. I integrate my expertise in nutrition, life coaching, counseling, and motivational interviewing to help you unlearn harmful food rules and build a healthier relationship with food and your body.

Here’s what you can expect when working with me:

1. A Safe, Judgment-Free Space

This is your journey, and I’m here to guide you with compassion. You won’t find shame or pressure to change your body. There is also absolutely no room for shame about your eating behaviors; we take every step of this journey gently, as a learning opportunity. We’ll work together to help you tune into what truly supports your health and well-being. Any challenges or concerns along the way will be our opportunity to develop a growth mindset, learn from it, and build more self-trust and confidence!

2. No More Focus on the Weight

You are so much more than a number, and your health is not defined by your weight; and health is the focus in our work together. Mental, emotional and physical.
While weight changes may naturally happen along your journey, they are not the primary focus of our work. Instead, we will be working on real, meaningful health improvements like better digestion, balanced energy levels, reduced stress, improved body image and feeling confident and peaceful around food.

3. Your Desireto Lose Weight Is Completely Acceptable!

If you’ve spent years dieting, it makes sense that you might still want to lose weight. That’s completely normal! If you didn’t want to lose weight, you’d likely already be eating intuitively, and you don’t have to suppress those feelings when working with me. Instead of ignoring them, we’ll explore where that desire is coming from, unpack the cultural messages around weight, and focus on practical, sustainable ways to care for yourself, without the pressure of dieting.

4. Personalized, Evidence-Based Support

All of us are unique and live unique lives, which means there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you struggle with emotional eating, feel stuck in the binge-restrict cycle, or just don’t know where to start, our sessions are tailored to meet your specific needs using nutritional science, psychology, and mindset coaching, because all of those are useful when approaching your health from a holistic perspective.

5. A Sustainable, Non-Diet Approach to Health

Many traditional approaches focus on external rules like counting calories, tracking macros, and forcing yourself to exercise in ways you hate while “motivating” yourself with horrible phrases such as “no pain no gain”.
But real health isn’t about restriction or suffering; it’s about finding joy and balance in the way you nourish yourself.
I’ll help you reconnect with your body’s natural signals and introduce gentle nutrition – a way of eating that prioritizes both enjoyment and well-being without stress.
We will work on creating a sustainable healthy habits that work for your unique lifestyle, and are flexible because, well, life happens! This approach to health will ensure you have lifelong tools to nurture yourself holistically—your physical, mental and emotional health.

Living this way is extremely freeing! As one of my clients said:

When you finally stop with restrictions, you give yourself permission to live. To live a life worth living.

The Benefits of Intuitive Eating Coaching

Working with me will help you:

• Break free from the diet-binge cycle and stop obsessing over food.

• Improve your body image and build self-trust. It’s time to reconnect with your body, respect your body and take loving care of your body—the way you would care about someone you love.
• Find enjoyable, sustainable ways to care for your health without dieting, long term. Because health isn’t just about food or exercise.
• Develop coping strategies for emotional eating and stress management in your everyday life, gently, with compassion!
• Nutrition support: while I generally don’t advocate for restrictions, I am still a nutritionist. We will talk about nurturing your health with gentle nutrition and finding ways to fuel your body in a way that feels good for you.
• Heal your relationship with exercise: moving away from the harmful narrative of “no pain no gain”. Instead, discovering movement that feels joyful, fun, energizing, and sustainable for you.
• Shift your perspective on health: learning that health is about so much more than just food and exercise. We’ll explore how factors like sleep, stress, mental well-being, and self-care play a crucial role in your overall health, and how you can nurture all those different aspects of health, gently.
