Are You Ready to Stop Dieting and Start Living?
We help people who are frustrated with dieting change their relationship with food through guided online intuitive eating coaching and body image work. We teach you how to rediscover the joy of eating, learn to feel and honor your hunger and fullness cues, trust yourself around food again, and say goodbye to dieting once and for all
We help you get out of the diet-binge-guilt cycle so that you can take all the mental energy you spend on thinking about food and your body, and use that time elsewhere. We’ll help you to nurture and develop long-term, sustainable behaviors around food and movement, no deprivation required.
Intuitive Eating Coaching
How It Works:
Step 1: Get In Touch
Get started with a free phone consultation, where we learn more about you, your relationship to food, and how we can help support you. We’ll discuss which package option is the best fit for you and you’ll have a chance to ask questions about how we work and what to expect from the process.
Step 2: Initial Session
In your first session, we’ll spend 75 minutes together and do a deep dive to really get to know you. We’ll explore your relationship with food and body image, talk your dieting and weight history and your current eating patterns, and discuss your goals and what success in this process will look like for you.
Step 3: Ongoing Support
Healing your food and body issues is deep, brave, and oftentimes scary work. We offer package-based options that include video, phone and email support so that we have enough time to spend together to be able to work through these issues.

Unapologetic Eating: Make Peace with Food & Transform Your Life
So many of us have spent time dieting and trying to change ourselves in order to fit into a mold—and a body—that is deemed socially acceptable. Yet it is dieting that is the problem: it disconnects us from our body’s wisdom and holds us back from living life to the fullest. The more time we spend trying to “fix” ourselves, the less time we have for the things that really matter.
What presents as a problem about food is, in reality, much deeper and more complex. In my new book, Unapologetic Eating: Make Peace with Food & Transform Your Life, I help you explore your history with food and your body and question societal expectations to get to the bottom of the complexity and find a clear path forward.
Using a four-step approach – Fixing, Allowing, Feeling, and Growing, I walk you through how to reconnect with your body using your relationship to food as the entry point. The book provides actionable tools you can use to confidently nourish yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. You’ll learn how to make peace with food, improve your body image, trust your intuition, and reclaim the space to eat and live unapologetically.
As Heard On:
What our clients are saying:
For the first time in my life, I’m eating what I want to eat. For the first time in my life, I am not bingeing. For the first time in my life, I am working out because of how it makes my body feel. For the first time in my life, I’m not angry at myself when I go to bed. For the first time in my life, I am a nice person to myself! I owe so much of that to Alissa and this Intuitive Eating movement.

It’s getting easier and easier to eat without guilt or second guessing my food choices. Because of my work with Alissa, I feel like I’ve gotten my life back. I’m less anxious and my relationships with my self and with others have improved tenfold.”

“Like many of us, I’ve struggled with my weight and was a slave to the scale. I’ve finally let go of the notion that I have to be on a diet and lose weight. I was anxious and stressed all of the time and it took its toll on my relationships. I feel like I’ve gotten my life back thanks to working with Alissa on this journey of intuitive eating.”
—Chelsea H. in La Jolla, CA
“Working with Alissa has been life-changing. It’s amazing how changing your attitude about eating in general, trickles down into every part of your life. My cravings have totally disappeared and my sleep and energy levels are so much better. Plus I have completely stopped caring about my weight. This has really been a freeing experience!”

![Just going to drop this incredibly important thread by @whimsicalfemme right here...
Image description - a tweet thread by @fatbodypolitics that reads:
“Fat phobia is so bad that people are mad fat people qualify for the cover vaccine before thin people. Happening in a country that treats fatness as a disease. People are legit mad that the pathology placed on our body has the audacity to protect us quicker from a pandemic.
Thank you for the definitive proof that you don’t care about our health.”
[In response to a tweet that reads: “But I thought you didn’t need quicker access because your just as healthy as skinny people lol”]:
“Didn’t argue when fat people should get the vaccine. Dominant belies about fat people center on us being inherently diseased and we have been framed as being at higher risk of death due to cover. So the anger shows that at it’s core it’s about fat hatred not health.
People are mad that fat people are benefiting from our oppression during a pandemic. What really impacts health status due to weight is social stigma, lacking stigma free medical care and health care avoidance because of stigma when seeking treatment.”
Let’s just all sit with this...so when someone you know makes a joke about how “obese” people can get the vaccine sooner than others (which is fatphobia and anti-fat bias BTW), think about this.](https://alissarumsey.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
