Hi, I’m Kaysha
I’m a registered nutritionist, Pilates Instructor and blogger dedicated to helping you increase your health whilst building a positive relationship with food and your body.
In 2010 I qualified as a nutritional therapist. Over time, I realised that many of the people sat in front of me, were looking for a quick fix. They basically wanted to be put on yet another diet. They wanted me to support a lifestyle created by a diet culture. Eat clean and exercise.
Being young(er) and eager to help, I obliged. Supplying recipes and meal plans with a list of foods to reduce or avoid and foods to focus on. It “worked”…In the short term. But it wasn’t sustainable. Clients would stop seeing “results” and would feel embarrassed to come to tell me that they had “fallen off the wagon” and that they needed to restart.
Truth be told, it sounded very much like my own relationship with food. I suffered from energy and blood sugar swings and I was constantly hungry. With all the tools and knowledge I had, I still lived my life on a diet.
I started to study different techniques that focused on the behavioural aspect of making a change. I started with me and challenged the beliefs I had about my body. But more than that I challenged what optimum health meant to me. As I got clearer on my life and my authentic health goals, the less the number on the scale meant to me. I started to practice mindfulness. After a lot of experimenting and occasionally retreating back to the diet culture, I noticed that eating normally reduced my food thoughts, increased my energy and sorted out my constipation. Yup, I was pooping every day! My skin looked healthier and my nails were no longer peeling and flaky. I didn’t have to battle with my hunger anymore. I was free to get on with what I was put here to do.
Are you tired of constantly battling diets, restrictions, and the never-ending cycle of guilt and dissatisfaction? It’s time to break free and embrace a more healthful, authentic and fulfilling way of living.
I understand that letting go of the diet mindset is no easy feat. The desire to constantly diet and “fix” our bodies doesn’t just disappear overnight. But trust me when I say that it’s possible to embark on a life-changing journey of self-compassion, body trust, and reconnection with our cultural foods in a way that diet culture never allowed us to.
