Approach to care

My practice is rooted in mindfulness, non-judgment, and collaborative care. Together, we work to untangle unhelpful beliefs about food, explore emotional and environmental influences on eating, and develop tools that help you tune into your body’s natural signals for hunger, fullness, and satisfaction.

Your first session with Armani

I provide weight neutral care. I support health at every size and do not use weight as a goal or success marker. Instead, we focus on health-promoting behaviors and self-defined goals. I provide mindfulness-based nutrition care. We work on slowing down, becoming present with eating experiences, and cultivating awareness of internal cues and patterns. I practice compassion over perfection. There are no “good” or “bad” foods here. We explore nuance and flexibility, not rigid rules. I practice self-accountability, every person’s food story is unique. Together, we tailor strategies that fit your lifestyle, preferences, and emotional needs. I practice holistic well-being. We consider the many factors that influence your eating experience; stress, sleep, movement, culture, environment, and more. My role is to guide, support, and empower, not to judge or dictate. We move at your pace and set goals that feel meaningful to you.
