ABOUT OUR GUEST
Natalie Rose is a psychotherapist and passionate advocate for mental and physical health. Her own experiences navigating health issues (Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy), chronic dieting, depression, social anxiety, and body dysmorphia have driven her to help others achieve a healthier relationship with food and with themselves.
After battling the vicious cycle of dieting and binge eating for a decade, Natalie discovered how to achieve a healthier relationship with food and herself through psychotherapy and her psychology degrees. As a psychotherapist herself, she now helps her clients unlock the experiences that have led to disordered eating behaviors and fosters lifelong skills to enhance their sense of food freedom and overall well-being.
Natalie believes that true health is not measured by food rules or the number on the scale, but is more accurately reflected by how we feel mentally, emotionally, socially, physically, and spiritually.
