I'M AYA

As a registered dietitian, my journey has taught me the importance of a joyful and balanced relationship with food. I believe that food is not just about nourishment; it's a beautiful way to connect with ourselves and others.

My mission is to empower families to embrace intuitive eating and body positivity, helping them discover the joy in food without the stress of rules or restrictions. Together, we can cultivate a fulfilling and vibrant life where food brings us together and nourishes our hearts.

Join me on this journey toward wellness, self-discovery, and a life filled with connection and joy!

MY STORY

I grew up surrounded by two very different messages about food. On one hand, diet culture taught me that food was something to control, fear, and obsess over. But on the other hand, food was also connection—it was how my mom showed love, how we gathered as a family, and how culture and tradition were passed down. Some of my favorite memories are cooking alongside my mom, feeling the warmth and joy food could bring.

For years, I struggled to reconcile these two realities. It wasn’t until I discovered intuitive eating that I realized food was never the problem—diet culture was. Learning to nourish myself without guilt changed everything, and I became passionate about helping others do the same.

That’s why I created Nourish to Flourish—to help families, especially kids, build a positive relationship with food. I believe food should be about joy, connection, and nourishment, not rules or restrictions. If you're ready to embrace a more intuitive and fulfilling way of eating, I’m here to guide you.
