FREE WEEKLY NEWSLETTER

The Breakroom

A weekly email for health professionals who are sick of hearing “but when will I lose weight?” when you can see the disordered eating underneath

Round here we keep it light, positive and sometimes straight up hilarious. Because nutrition work is hard and we all need to have a lil b*tch fest debrief sometimes

What’s in the newsletter?


The story
Sometimes it’s the nightmare client of the week, sometimes it’s a heart-warming client, sometimes a super tricky client. And occasionally it’s just a yarn about a time I did something super stupid…


How I handled it
What I did, why I did it, what I would do differently, the lessons learned


In my world
What’s a newsletter without some juicy tidbits about my life? This part is short and sweet!

What others are saying…

Julianya

Health Improvement Practitioner

“I just want to say how much I enjoy your insights, updates, humour and openness. I consistently read your emails (which is a compliment in the age of bombardment) and am usually both smiling and a little more knowledgeable by the end of them”

David

Personal Trainer

“I try to unsubscribe from all marketing emails but I would never unsubscribe from yours. They’re so bright and positive. Other people try to make you think you’re broken then try to sell you a fix. But your emails are so warm and encouraging”

Dayna

Associate Registered Nutritionist

“I love getting your emails – I’m still relatively new in the nutrition world, so it’s making me feel less alone”
