No matter who you are in your relationship with food and your body, The Wellful is for you! We’re here to uproot diet culture and change the relationship you have with your body for the better. Our goal is to meet you where you are, so if you feel like you don’t resonate with an entire category, or feel between a few of these categories, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Brenna is our passionate founder. Her dream of founding The Wellful was to create a community of humans who feel empowered and supported in challenging diet culture and living authentically aligned with their values. She’s originally from the East Coast but has been calling San Francisco home for the past few years. She even lived in Bermuda for a year after she became a RD! On any given day you’ll find her drinking a good cappuccino, biking to the beach for sunset, at a yoga class with friends, or exploring the West Coast. Guilt won’t be found anywhere at The Wellful and it definitely won’t be found while chatting with Brenna.
“Brenna was such a great resource at a time when I needed help with my body image! She helped me focus on my thoughts and how they were impacting my actions. I highly recommend The Wellful and Brenna for anyone struggling with their body image or ways to “get out” of diet culture mentality.”
“I felt like I didn’t know how to exist without dieting. I had hated my body since childhood and engaged in disordered eating behaviors since middle school. I wanted to finally learn how to eat ‘normally’ and to be okay with my body without learning how to change it. I ended up working with Brenna for about 3 months and am amazed by the progress I have made in that short time. Brenna gave me a lot of resources and support both during our sessions together and via email. Today I have more trust in my body and although I can’t yet say I love my body, I know that it is worthy of love and care.”
“Brenna and The Wellful have provided with me a constant support system that I can always reach out to when I am struggling with food or body image. She has helped me work through numerous different issues that I have faced while working together and has given me multiple techniques and suggestions that I have been able to use to help combat negative thoughts, feelings, and actions. Brenna has given me many suggestions on what to do or ways to think when I am having a difficult day around food or negative thoughts regarding body image.”
“Before starting to work with Brenna, I couldn’t keep any snack foods or sweet foods around because I would always just eat everything. I didn’t trust my body and so I just kept everything out of my house. Now just a few months later, I look around and I have all sorts of food in my house – ice cream, chocolate covered pretzels, chips, pizza – and it’s all been there for weeks! Through this work, I’ve gotten to the point where it’s there, I know I can have it, but I often don’t want it. This has been such a huge shift.”
“Working with Brenna and The Wellful has given me many a new perspective on life, new strategies to use when I am feeling discouraged, and the tools I need to achieve food freedom! I feel less guilt when I eat foods that I formerly deemed as “bad for you”. I am now enjoying a larger variety of foods with less fear and guilt”
“You won’t ever regret working on your relationship with yourself. Food and body image issues thrive alone. Having someone to support and guide you through your journey to food freedom and body acceptance makes a world of difference. If you’re struggling it’s one of the best gifts you can give to yourself!”
“I came across one of Brenna’s Instagram posts when I started searching for helpful content regarding disordered eating. Once I decided to fully devote myself to recovering from disordered thoughts and behaviors, I felt that Brenna would be a great fit. She is truly authentic on social media and really is as kind, patient, and understanding as she seems in all of her posts.”

FAQS
You’re Probably Wondering…
I work from an intuitive eating, non-diet, mindful approach to nutrition and health. This means that I help clients tune in to their internal cues around hunger, fullness, satisfaction (instead of external cues like timing of meals, meal plans, calorie counts or diets). If you start to think about it, it makes sense! We are all born eating intuitively, eating foods for pleasure, stopping when we’re satisfied and letting someone know (ie. crying!) when we’re hungry. As we grow up in diet culture and are constantly bombarded with food rules, those signals are harder and harder to listen to. We’re often taught how to diet, but not how to eat – for nourishment, satisfaction, enjoyment, experience, etc. By working from a non-diet approach, you can learn to respect and listen to your body in a way that honors your health and gives you the freedom to empower you to eat, move and live your fullest life.
I see all clients 100% virtually! This means that you have the flexibility to schedule a session on your lunch break, on a park bench, at home in your PJs, while you’re on a business trip or anytime in between. Many of my clients have unique work/life schedules and virtual makes it easier for them to fit in appointments. An added bonus is that you don’t need to worry about traffic! We will either Facetime, Skype or talk on the phone for sessions.
I’m accepting new clients! I just opened up a few more spots in my schedule. Once you submit your Free Discovery Call Request below, we can get something on the calendar within 2 weeks. I’m excited to work together!
