No food rules. No shame.
No starting over on Monday.
Let’s create a lasting, authentic, stress-free nourishment plan.
Virtual nutrition counseling in Georgia, Pennsylvania, and around the U.S.
Hi! I’m Courtney Plush, a registered dietitian offering online nutrition therapy that’s compassionate, science-based, and rooted in your long term thriving. My approach is…
Expansive, not restrictive: we take an add-in approach to nourishment
Weight-inclusive: we refocus energy toward actions that improve health and well being, rather than controlling weight or shape
Judgement-free: we make room for all the messy, unsure, and hopeful parts of you.
Grounded in the principles of intuitive eating
Instead of focusing on external rules and plans, intuitive eating practices help you tune into your body’s cues of hunger, fullness, and satisfaction so you can nourish yourself day to day in a way that honors your unique needs. This will look different for each individual, and it has to be experienced, not just read about in a book. I believe a more attuned and internally driven eating pattern is available to all of us, even if discovering it takes a bit of practice and time. Honoring your body’s cues, combined with identifying and letting go of rules and harmful beliefs about the moral value of food choices and body size can lead to profound peace and freedom.
Let’s imagine…
Imagine I could wave a magic wand right now and your relationship with food and your body is healed, healthy, and bringing you peace and joy. Maybe it would look something like this:
You’re finally settling into a flexible food routine, making food choices with confidence, guided by your body’s cues, unique health needs, and what sounds good to you.
You’re moving your body on your terms in ways that feel good - a nature walk, a sweaty Pilates sesh, or a gentle stretch.
You choose what you actually want at a restaurant, without stressing over the calories.
You can nurture yourself through a stressful work week or hurtful rift with your partner without numbing with food.
Your clothing reflects your personal style and creative expression, not a desire to hide your body.
You believe in your inherent goodness, and that your value isn’t connected to your body size.
I believe all of that is possible
I believe you are capable of healing, even if it feels far away right now. Maybe you’re navigating:
Feeling exhausted by the constant search for the “right” way to eat
Fear of weight gain or pressure to lose weight from medical providers or family members
A new health diagnosis like type 2 diabetes, IBS, or high cholesterol
A long history of binge eating and restricting that feels impossible to step out of
Body changes related to life stage transitions (like perimenopause or menopause) or mobility challenges
Fatigue, brain fog, difficulty focusing, mood instability, and low energy
The return of old eating disorder patterns you were hoping were behind you
I got you. Here’s how we’ll figure it out together:
Nutrition counseling - a warm, non-judgmental exploration of your current eating habits, and collaborative, realistic goal-setting to support food routines that nourish you for the long term.
Nutrition education - we’ll dive as far into the science as you’ll let me, so you have a deep understanding of how your body works and what happens when something is off. I’ll always explain the “why” behind any nutrition recommendations we discuss.
Unpacking your complicated relationship with food - identifying beliefs and thought patterns keeping you stuck, and building skills to unhook from them when they hijack you.
Intuitive eating coaching - connecting with hunger, fullness, and satisfaction cues, challenging the food police, and making peace with all foods (the cookies AND the salads).
Body image healing - separating your worth from your size (and maybe getting a little angry at the system), and living fully in the body you have right now.
Holistic support in caring for your body’s basic needs other than nutrition - sleep, connection, and befriending your nervous system.
