Professional Bio

As a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, Renee has been helping individuals cultivate a nourishing, trusting, peaceful and relaxed relationship with food and their body since 2011.

Her holistic, weight-neutral, non-diet approach helps people recover from disordered eating, break up with diet culture, eat intuitively and develop life-enhancing, sustainable self-care practices.

Clients stop yo-yo dieting; rebuild body trust; release food rules, anxiety, guilt and shame; better understand their emotional eating; reduce chronic overeating and craving intensity; experience greater satisfaction from eating and movement; discover how to best nourish their unique body; heal negative body image; and more.

Renee is part of an empowering, liberating movement that approaches one’s relationship with food and their body from a place of compassion, curiosity, nourishment, pleasure and innate wisdom.

Coach, Teacher, Speaker
Renee coaches individual clients and groups, teaches workshops and speaks at a variety of venues from high-tech companies to pilates studios and sporting goods stores. Before aligning her career with her passion for food and body peace, she spent 15 years as a marketer in the corporate world promoting everything from hotels and games to food and entertainment websites.

In her off-hours, Renee can be spotted strolling in Golden Gate Park, hiking along the Pacific Coast, exploring foreign lands, prepping meals for local shelters, or lying on the grass reading a good book.
