Rachel Molenda is a Certified Holistic Nutritionist and Emotional Eating Coach, who helps women heal their relationship with food and their body by breaking free from dieting, rigid rules and discovering the power of intuitive eating and eating #RealAssFood.

Rachel shares her personal struggle with food that started at 8th grade and evolved as an eating disorder. Rachel was very critical with her body, binging and going in and out of diets; this lasted for 10 years of suffering, until she started a positive connection with food, recovered the pleasure of eating and connected with exercise and movement.

Rachel believes that the first thing needed is to heal the emotional relationship with food, overcoming this emotional eating is the priority, but how to start? Rachel proposes a series of first steps:

1. 1. Bring awareness to what is happening with your eating habits.
2. 2. Ask yourself: What are your triggers?
3. 3. How dieting has or hasn't served you?
4. To start healing the connection with your food -- intuitive eating is a must. Intuitive eating is listening and honoring the needs of your body, including all foods: All Foods, yes! Rachel explains the importance of overcoming the fear for certain foods and shifting the focus to how you feel when you are eating them and breaking, this way, the dieting cycle.
5. On Rachel's personal path, exercising and moving were the following steps into connecting with how her body was feeling and by listening to those signs she realized she needed a change, and honored her body by slowing down and acquiring a different exercise routine.
6. Contact Rachel for an emotional eating consultation and put and end to dieting, instead heal your relationship with food and rediscover trusting in your body.
7. Wishing you more simplicity and ease in all that you do!
