I believe that listening is my greatest counseling superpower and that when it comes to behavior change, slow and steady wins the race. Through motivational interviewing, nutrition education and intuition from many years of experience, I will help you identify what is the most important and realistic next step to take.

Each of us has struggled with food, movement, rest, and body image in some way and we all have good reasons for the struggle. Eating disorders, disordered eating, “yo-yo” dieting, over-exercise, and unrealistic body image expectations are merely unhealthy and irrational ways of meeting healthy and rational needs.
In Feed My Soul, author and registered dietitian, Kristen Bunger, combines the wisdom of science, the insight of psychology, and the truth of God’s word to help you sort through the disordered thoughts and lies you may believe about food, movement, rest, and body image.
