What is Nutritional Coaching?
Nutrition plays a crucial role in mental health and trauma recovery. Stress and trauma affect not only the mind but also the body — impacting digestion, hormone balance, energy levels, and the immune system.
At Living Free, nutritional coaching is not about dieting or restrictions. It is about understanding how food supports brain and nervous system function, and helping clients make choices that stabilise mood, improve sleep, and strengthen resilience.
Many trauma survivors struggle with appetite changes, emotional eating, or neglecting meals. Nutritional coaching provides education, gentle guidance, and practical steps to restore balance without shame or guilt.
