Nice to meet you!
Hi, I’m Anna. I’m a nutritionist, eating disorder specialist, body image coach, and chronically ill human. I’ve spent the last 15 years supporting humans healing from eating disorders and complicated relationships with their bodies. And for that entire time, I’ve also lived inside a chronic body of my own.
I haven’t cracked the code. I haven’t found a miracle cure. And I haven’t gotten well. What I have done is spend years are money, energy, hope for chasing answers. I’ve tried the programs. The promises. The protocols. And instead of clarity, I often felt more confused. More disconnected. More blamed.
I don’t want that for you. I don’t want you spending another dollar outsourcing your body’s wisdom. I don’t want you trusting strangers on the internet over signals inside your own body. I don’t want you stuck in the exhausting cycle of almost better.
Chronically Nourished exists because I got tired of being taught that my body was the problem. It brings me back to you, not to fixes. I am a food and body image coach who specializes in chronic things. And I believe, deeply, that your body is not your enemy. This work isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about coming home.
