My first experience with a Health Coach changed my life. It ignited a shift in my relationship with food, health, my body, and, ultimately, my path in life.
Now, 17 years later, my work is at the intersection of holistic health, time-tested nutritional modalities, cyclical living, nervous system regulation, conscious parenting, and eating psychology.
As a homeschooling/unschooling mom, creating the optimal environment for thriving is at the core of my work.
There’s no one-size-fits-all, prescriptive approach when it comes to food. Our time together provides a safe space to gain the tools to make real and sustainable changes for you and your unique family.
Do these resonate?
“I worry about passing my food, weight, and body image issues on to my kids.
I feel like I’ve tried all the typical recommendations and family food is still a struggle!
It seems like every day a new health trend comes out and it’s so hard to know what’s what.
I want my children to grow up with a strong health and nutritional foundation, but I don’t know how to provide that.
I think about food all day, whether for me or for my family, and the mental load of it is exhausting.”
“Learning from Deena has taken me on a journey that I know has just begun. “How we do one thing is how we do everything”, she says - and that resonates so deeply with me. Her breadth of knowledge rivals the best of the best. It’s astonishing how many books she’s read on the topic of nutrition, healing, menstrual cycles, Ayurveda and more. She’s able to pull from all that knowledge and wrap it into beautiful, digestible lessons and conversations that will stay with you and sink into your soul! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Deena to anyone looking to deepen their relationship with food.”

Imagine…
Having a food system that works for you and everyone in your family in this season of life.
Releasing fear about the food decisions you make, for you or anyone in your family.
Having full confidence that your children are growing up with strong practices, mentality, and values when it comes to food, their body, and their health.
Your kids being able to navigate the kitchen beautifully as they gain the skills to prepare delicious food.
Knowing how to nourish yourself, trust your body fully, and genuinely model this for your children.
Having the confidence that comes from learning how your body works and how to best support it.
“I was feelings stressed and anxious about dinnertime and annoyed about snacks. With Deena’s expertise, knowledge, guidance, and mentorship we were able to go really deep on a lot of topics that I hadn’t considered before... or considered that they would be important in my feelings of joy in the kitchen and with family meals. Her coaching allowed for a practice to begin. I just feel like there's a spark thats ignited in me!”

“I started working with Deena while I was pregnant with my second child, who is now 10 years-old!
Deena totally changed how I think about health, nutrition, and my body. I’d struggled with my own body image, food, dieting, and disordered eating for so long.
Having the freedom to navigate this, as a mom, is such a gift!
I am so grateful to her for helping me build a strong foundation for my family’s well-being. I only wish I had started working with her earlier!”
