Inclusive Food & Body Counseling

Food & Body Counseling

Food & Body Counseling at Sage Wisdom Nutrition offers compassionate, weight-inclusive nutrition care for individuals navigating complex relationships with food and their bodies, as well as support for parents and caregivers caring for someone they love. Guided by Sophia Tasler, RDN, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Certified Body Trust® Provider, and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, this care supports those who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or worn down by dieting, medical experiences, or ongoing struggles around nourishment.

Sessions are personalized, reflective, and grounded in real life. Together, we explore how stress, history, health, and nervous system responses shape eating patterns, and build nourishment practices that feel realistic, supportive, and sustainable over time. Many clients share that within the first few sessions they begin to feel less chaotic, more grounded, & more trusting of themselves around food.

How this care is guided

A weight-inclusive, trauma-informed approach to nourishment.

Sophia’s work draws from complementary frameworks that center the body’s wisdom while staying grounded in nutrition science and lived experience.

These include:

Weight-inclusive nutrition care, which supports health and wellbeing without centering weight loss
Intuitive Eating, to rebuild trust with hunger, fullness, and satisfaction cues
Body Trust^® practices, which honor the body as an ally rather than a problem to fix
Trauma-informed care, recognizing how stress, illness, and past experiences shape eating and regulation
Embodiment and interoceptive practices, offering gentle ways to reconnect with the body

Rather than rigid plans or rules, this care emphasizes curiosity, flexibility, and support that can adapt across many seasons of life. Many people arrive here after realizing that the strategies they were given no longer work and that they need something slower, steadier, and more humane.

Areas of support

Common reasons people seek food and body counseling

People come to Food & Body Counseling for many different reasons. This work often supports individuals navigating:

Chronic dieting and long-standing disordered eating patterns
Eating disorder recovery and recovery-adjacent concerns
Difficulty trusting hunger, fullness, or satisfaction cues
Food guilt, shame, or fear around eating
Diabetes and cardiovascular health contexts

Digestive concerns, food sensitivities, and histamine intolerances
Hormonal shifts and changing nutritional needs
Chronic illness or health conditions where nourishment feels complex like Mast Cell Activation Syndrome or Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Stress, burnout, or nervous system overwhelm that impacts eating

Nutrition is approached as foundational. Many people arrive believing something is “wrong” with their body, only to discover that inconsistent or inadequate nourishment has been limiting their capacity to feel steady, regulate stress, and move through daily life with more ease and joy.

One-On-One Support

Nutrition Counseling

Individual Nutrition Counseling offers one-on-one support for adults seeking a calmer, more supportive relationship with food and their bodies. Sessions blend nutrition education with reflective conversation and experiential practices to help you understand what shapes your eating patterns and how to care for yourself with greater clarity and compassion.

Sessions often include:

Nutrition science explained in a practical, real-world way
Exploration of hunger, fullness, satisfaction, and body cues
Support navigating guilt, shame, or fear around food
Meal planning, recipes, and everyday nourishment tools as needed
Guidance for navigating health conditions without restriction or punishment
Space to slow down, reflect, and build sustainable care practices

Care is collaborative and paced intentionally. Many clients begin by meeting every two weeks to build a strong foundation, then space sessions out as steadiness and confidence grow. Over time, nourishment often feels less charged and more supportive, allowing food to become something you can respond to with clarity rather than self-criticism.

Sessions are available in person at Sophia’s office in Puyallup, Washington, and virtually for clients located in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Jersey, Virginia, & Washington.

Support for families

Nutrition Coaching for Parents + Caregivers

Nutrition Coaching for Parents and Caregivers offers guidance for those supporting a child, teen, or partner through food and body challenges. While individual counseling focuses on your own relationship with food and body, caregiver coaching supports those navigating how to help someone else with steadiness, consistency, and care.

This work may include:

Understanding nutrition and recovery processes in everyday language
Support navigating meals with consistency and compassion
Identifying diet culture messages that may unintentionally cause harm
Clarifying how to support without controlling or pressuring
Building confidence in advocacy and communication

Many caregivers arrive feeling overwhelmed or afraid of saying the wrong thing. This offering provides reassurance, clarity, and practical support grounded in lived experience, helping care feel more doable and less isolating.
