Hi! My name is Juliette & I’m a southern California native currently living in the Blue Ridge mountains of Asheville, NC.
After completing part of my education at a residential eating disorder clinic in Hawaii, I found myself drawn to working alongside clients struggling with eating disorders, negative body image, and “food feeling hard” in some capacity. When working with these women, I recognized some recurrent traits amongst this population- they were intuitive, observant, and have a noticeable intolerance for inauthenticity. I believe honoring and utilizing these character traits is an essential part of the journey to freedom.
I particularly enjoy working with clients who want to challenge their narratives around food and self-worth, and explore the connection between how we see ourselves in the world and our appearance. My approach often incorporates assignments that foster creativity, the use of metaphors, and mindfulness/somatic based practices. Some of my own teachers include Pema Chödrön, Rumi, Byron Katie, Alan Watts, and Don Miguel Ruiz.
Outside of client sessions, you can find me starting art projects that never get finished, listening to Little Dragon, and creating unnecessary to-do lists. I used to think I had a love-hate relationship with running, but it turns out it was just a hate-hate relationship; I enjoy walking along the French Broad river with a cup of coffee on Sunday mornings, pilates, and hiking to waterfalls with minimal elevation. One of my favorite things to do is watch reality TV with my anxious, pisces-pup, Koa.

I specialize in working with those struggling with eating disorders, disordered eating, chronic dieting, and weight & body image concerns. I’m experienced in working with ADHD and those wanting to understand and optimize hormonal health. I’m passionate about incorporating somatic techniques and integrating functional nutrition & ecotherapy into nutrition counseling.
I strive to help others recognize and appreciate their worth, regardless of what your thoughts, feelings, or behaviors might be. My hope is to guide clients in understanding themselves and their relationship with food in an honest way. Through self-exploration and self-compassion, making change is possible.
I always meet my clients where they are at in their journey and incorporate individual values into the work. I strongly believe that you know what is best for you even if this truth feels inaccessible. I love growing alongside my clients and witnessing them rekindle connection to self & find their truth!
A little bit about me outside of work: on the weekdays and evenings, I'm most likely walking my dog (this is such sacred time for me), watching TV with my animals (my faves of all time are It’s Always Sunny, Broad City, & Alone), journaling, playing video games (Stardew Valley is my jam), or working on home projects. On the weekends you can find me hiking or trail running with my dog, playing games with friends, hanging out by the river, or napping in the sun with a good podcast or audiobook (I can’t finish a book to save my life).
