Private Health Counseling

An expansive yet practical approach to health rooted in ecological thought. When we orient towards the essential, we make our journey into wellbeing pleasurable and lasting. 

Together we will look into the different regions of your health that you wish to address and establish a custom nutrition and lifestyle plan to help you transform your relationship with food and resolve disbalances.

We will explore a wide array of tools and resources that can help you nourish yourself better, increase your vitality, and deepen your enjoyment. We will learn how to minimize the disruptive impact of modern day life on the body's capacity to absorb nutrients, detox, and self-regulate. I offer guidance to help you resolve gut issues, maintain energy levels, learn how to make yourself more nutrient dense food, balance your hormones, and optimize your body's innate regenerative capacity.

Programs include ongoing recommendations and resources such as grocery lists, guidance on where to shop, pantry guides, kitchen organization tricks, techniques to make cooking easier and more fun, practitioner recommendations, daily rituals, etc. People choose between 4, 6, or 10 week programs all of which include a free 30 minute intro consultation. .

Regenerative Eating

A one-to-one program built around experiential learning that will guide and resource you for transforming your relationship with food, cultivating your vitality and fostering ecological awakening. Through a regenerative, conscious eating practice that aligns you with the broader living world you can grow greater health, resilience, sovereignty and pleasure. In this program you will learn practices, techniques and rituals that help you feel exalted in your aliveness even as you care for the environment and empower local economies. 

This is a structured, in-person program that can be adjusted to your own needs and curiosities, currently only offered in Lisbon. It is open to anyone who eats.

This is a journey of opening to life, decolonizing your tastebuds, re-enchanting your relationship with food and the broader living world. It will empower you with a toolkit of technical, practical and organizational resources that will expand and deepen your nourishment and self-care. The program contains plenty of hands-on practice, resources for sourcing and preparing food, and bites of science, metaphysics and mysticism along the way.
