Approach and Training
Sarah Thomsen Ferreira, MS MPH RD LD IFNCP
I work with individuals who are tired of feeling disconnected from their bodies, confused about how or what to eat, and exhausted by the process of sorting through all of the nutrition ‘noise’.
My approach is compassionate, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. As a partner in your health journey, I focus on taking the ‘right next step’ in collaboration with you, with information and goal setting tailored toward your needs.
Together, we’ll work to:
Untangle the relationship between food and your mood
Rebuild trust in your body’s signals
Learn to nourish yourself in a way that supports both physical and emotional well-being
Let go of unnecessary eating rules and unrealistic expectations
Create space for joy, flexibility, and self-compassion in how you eat and live
If you’re ready to explore new ways of using nutrition as a therapeutic tool, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
