Are you
tired of
fighting
with food &
your body?

Are you drained from always thinking about food?

Are you discouraged with yo-yo weight patterns?

Please know...

your body and food are on your side.

You are naturally designed to know what you need
to support your overall wellbeing!

WHY SO MUCH STRUGGLE WITH FOOD THESE DAYS?

Diet culture- a 70 billion dollar industry, social media, misinformation, food fads have stolen our self-trust. We no longer know what to eat, what to do with cravings, or how to determine what is even healthy.

Yet we just keep trying harder. Research is clear that the process of restricting food (aka dieting) is unsustainable. Your body and mind are designed to resist food deprivation in order to survive. If diets “worked," no one would ever have to go on a diet again.  There is no perfect way to eat or lack of willpower, it's NOT your fault. You did not fail — diets fail you.

Many other factors contribute to our struggles with food and body. Some are within our control, like certain food patterns and behaviors. Others are out of our hands, such as genetics, socioeconomic factors, illness and more.

There is a way forward! We can give our bodies the care they deserve, no matter their size, shape or state of health. Through a weight inclusive, non-diet lens, informed by intuitive and mindful eating, you can end the internal conflict and discover the confidence and wisdom to nourish your body and obtain a healthy relationship with food.

WHAT IS DIFFERENT ABOUT MY APPROACH?

SC_ICON_APPROACH_Physiology_600

TAPPING INTO THE SCIENCE OF BODY PHYSIOLOGY

Hunger is not just an empty stomach. Hunger, feeling satisfied and weight balance are guided by a complex interaction of hormones and metabolic processes, further influenced by your thoughts and emotions. My approach reveals how restrained and unbalanced eating distort these biological systems…and how you can understand and recognize your body's needs and work with it as nature intended.

ACTIVATING YOUR INNER KNOWING SKILLS

Controlling intake or following external "food rules" fails partly because you learn you to ignore and devalue your body. By applying thoughtful and intuitive eating methods, you re-attune to your body’s true needs, while unpacking the emotional, habitual and lifestyle reasons for your eating behaviors. As you regain confidence in eating and trust in your body, you naturally move toward your sustainable healthy weight.

WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING:

Professional, Oxnard, CA

I have been seeing Silvina for many years for different issues I have struggled with. Weight has always been an issue for me, even after having Gastric Bypass surgery 18 years ago. Silvina introduced me to Intuitive Eating and it changed my life and my relationship with food. I no longer diet or obsess about food. I am at a lower weight today than I even was after my surgery and feel so much healthier.

She also helped me learn ways to reduce my stress level and better deal with my situation. Silvina is thoughtful, caring and kind and an extremely knowledgeable, professional.

I am forever grateful to Silvina!

Wife and Mother, Agoura Hills, CA

Working with Silvina has changed my life.  In my mid-forties and having dieted since age twelve, I was searching for a different approach to help me with my weight concerns.  Fortunately, I was drawn to Silvina and her use of the method “Intuitive Eating.” Silvina has since helped me see how dieting and restricting food intake has led to an over-focus on food and caused weight gain, rather than weight loss.  She has helped me regulate my eating, learn new behaviors to identify “diet mentality,” and refocus my weight concerns onto well-being. This approach has been extremely effective for me and I attribute my success to Silvina. She is compassionate, understanding, and above all, amazingly adept at healing long-held beliefs related to eating and weight.  Silvina’s non-judgmental attitude creates a safe environment to explore weight concerns and disordered eating, and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Patricia, Oxnard, CA

Silvina is instrumental in helping me with my blood sugar control in a caring, compassionate, and non-judgmental way. She has taught me to trust my instincts and not to make decisions based on fear.  She has been the key to my success in my health.

Husband and Retired, Oxnard, CA

For two years I had abdominal pain. I was sent to different medical specialists and had numerous tests. The doctors could not diagnose my problem. My wife suggested I see Silvina. It’s the best thing I did! Silvina suggested I see my doctor and request a specific test. The doctor was then able to diagnose my problem and prescribed short term medication. Thank you, Silvina!
