Hey, I’m Deena.

Welcome to my Everything Page!

A little about me: I’ve been a holistic and integrative health coach for 14 years supporting women, mothers (and dads when I get the honor!) around the world on a variety of topics related to health, food, and our bodies. When I started out, I was focused primarily on diet and nutrition with some lifestyle bits sprinkled in. Over the years, I learned how different we all are, how our stories impact how we experience everything in life, including food. Today my work is focused on helping you and your children coming into a confident, embodied, and joyful relationship with food.

My work is at the intersection of connected parenting, self-directed learning, food psychology, time-tested nutritional wisdom, cyclical living, and asking ourselves, “How good can it feel?”

You can read more about my story here and listen here on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

This page is dedicated to all of the wonderful ways I can support you, some free and some paid.

Free Resources:

1. The Snack Hack System: Mom can you make me a snack?” “Can I have... can I have... can I have...?” “Mom, I’m hungry!”

   It can feel relentless at times! That’s why I created the Snack Hack System, a simple and beautiful way for everyone in the family to positively connect with food and their bodies. Snacks can also be a more accessible path than mealtimes when it comes to inviting a new tone around food and involving your kids.

   Grab this 2-page PDF Guide support with all the common snack questions, including our go-to snacks!

2. Go to my Events page It brings me incredible joy to have shifted things in my work creating more points of deep connection with you through online workshops as well as immersive monthly Joy With Food circles in my home, in cities around the US, and abroad! All that info and registration here!

3. Join my email list: I send out weekly Joyful Food Digest emails with practical and inspiring resources for you to cultivate a joyful and confident experience with food. Get on the list here.

4. Listen to the Joy With Food podcast: These are short solo episodes supporting you on one concept or topic to keep it simple and actionable! You’ll finish each episode with at least one thing you can try on, greater peace of mind, and new-found inspiration! No overwhelm here. Subscribe on Spotify here and Apple Podcasts here.

5. Check out my Instagram Page. Note: I no longer post on Instagram, but I’d be remiss not to add it here because honestly, there are a few mini courses right in my Instagram feed! I know it feels like we need new information all the time, but we really don’t. Go through the highlights, check out Instagram Lives I’ve done solo or with some incredible parenting / homeschooling accounts, watch the reels, swipe through the carousels, and actually read the captions.

Paid Resources:

1. In-person immersive and communal Joy With Food circles in my home, in cities around the US, and abroad! All event details and sign-up here.

2. The Joyful Family Meal. This is a self-paced video workshop and corresponding guide to support an inviting and joyful mealtime for everyone in your family. You don’t need to be the martyr at mealtime! I want you to sit down to your meal and be able to chew and enjoy your food. This workshop walks you through the three key elements to experiencing so much more joy at family mealtime. Access The Joyful Family Meal here today!

3. Ask Me Anything Sessions. 90 minutes on Zoom with me to, well, ask me anything about your relationship with food, a picky eater, how to help your kids find more autonomy in the kitchen, navigating conflicting nutritional advice, or asking any additional questions from a self-paced workshop! This is a great option if you’re not looking for an ongoing coaching relationship but just have a list of questions or one topic you want to dive into. Book your AMA Session right here.

4. Private coaching packages. This is the most intimate way to work with me. We do 6 sessions of coaching with tons of support between sessions because I know it only just begins when you end the Zoom meeting! I’m in it with you for three months and only take on three coaching clients at a time. Check out the details and sign up for 20-minute consult if this sounds like something you’d like to explore.
