Mindful Eating to Build a Healthier Relationship with Food

What Is Mindful Eating?

Mindful eating is about slowing down, tuning into your body, and building a more peaceful relationship with food. For many of us, especially those who are neurodivergent, eating can feel like a battle. This space is here to help you find calm, clarity, and compassion.

Mindful eating means listening to your body's hunger cues and breaking the cycle of binge eating or emotional eating patterns. It's not another diet or restriction. It's about reconnecting with your body's wisdom and eating with intention rather than impulse.

Why This Matters

I've been where you are. The shame spiral after a binge, the guilt around food choices, the feeling like your relationship with eating is completely out of control. As someone who has navigated binge eating recovery myself, I understand how isolating and overwhelming it can feel.

This struggle is incredibly common for people with ADHD or autism. Our brains process emotions, sensory input, and impulses differently, which can make emotional regulation around food especially challenging. You're not broken, and you don't need more willpower; you need understanding and practical tools that actually work with your neurodivergent brain.

I offer non-judgmental, lived-experience-based support because I know what it's like to feel out of control around food, and I also know that recovery is possible.

Signs You Might Benefit from Mindful Eating Support

Does this sound familiar?

  • You eat until you're uncomfortably full, even when you planned to stop

  • You feel intense guilt or shame after meals

  • You often eat in secret or rush through your food

  • You struggle with emotional eating or stress eating patterns

  • Food choices feel overwhelming, especially as a neurodivergent adult

  • You've tried restrictive diets but they always backfire into binges

  • You eat to cope with sensory overload or emotional dysregulation

  • You feel like you've "lost control" around certain foods

If you're nodding along to these, you're in the right place. There's no judgment here; just real support from someone who gets it.

What I Offer

1:1 Mindful Eating Support - Personalised coaching that works with your neurodivergent brain, not against it. We'll focus on building awareness, breaking binge cycles, and creating sustainable habits without restriction or diet culture.

Free Community Resources - Access to a supportive group of people on similar journeys, plus regular check-ins and group support sessions.

Educational Content - Blog posts, podcast episodes, and practical resources that address the real challenges of emotional eating, sensory overwhelm, and food guilt.

Compassionate Guidance - All support is rooted in lived experience, body neutrality, and understanding that binge eating recovery isn't about willpower — it's about rewiring patterns with kindness and practical tools.

This isn't about becoming a "perfect eater." It's about finding peace with food and your body, whether you're dealing with ADHD executive function challenges, autistic sensory sensitivities, or just feeling overwhelmed by emotional eating patterns.

What This Assessment Helps With

If you feel like you're constantly thinking about food, struggling with emotional eating, or unsure when you're really hungry or full — you're not alone.

This quick assessment helps you:

  • Identify patterns of binge, emotional, or stress eating

  • Understand how sensory overload or executive dysfunction might impact your food choices

  • Reflect on your current relationship with eating, without shame or judgment

It’s designed to gently explore what’s going on beneath the surface, especially if traditional advice hasn’t worked for you.

Who It's Designed For

This mindful eating assessment was created for neurodivergent adults, especially those with:

  • ADHD – who may struggle with impulsive eating or forgetting to eat altogether

  • Autism – who may find food overwhelming due to texture, routine, or sensory overload

  • Disordered eating habits like binge eating or emotional eating, even without a formal diagnosis

You don’t need to “tick every box” or have it all figured out. If food feels complicated — this is for you.

How It Works

  • Takes just 3 to 5 minutes

  • No sign-up required to begin

  • Answer short, reflective questions about your habits, thoughts, and feelings around food

  • At the end, you’ll get clear, practical suggestions tailored to your responses emailed to you once I’m able to consider your responses.

  • You’ll also be shown support options that feel realistic, not overwhelming

NB: This isn’t a clinical diagnostic tool, it’s designed to be a supportive, understanding starting point.

What You'll Get After Completing It

A breakdown of the key challenges you’re facing

  • Actionable tips that match your answers; no generic fluff

  • Optional links to free community resources, blog posts, and podcast episodes

  • A personalised offer to work with me if you want deeper support

You are always in control. There’s no pressure to sign up for anything, just honest guidance, created with care.
