What is FABS?
Food and Body Study(FABS) is a group coaching model. The foundation is one of two workbooks supplemented with various articles, videos, and self-assessments.
FABS is not confidential therapy; however, the experience can feel therapeutic when members allow themselves to be vulnerable and engage fully.
What you get out of FABS is commensurate with what you invest
I offer individual consultation for extra support outside of the group as needed.
We do not heal our relationships with food and bodies in isolation.
The power of group work provides connection, insight, and real-time reflection that helps us grow in ways we often can't see on our own.
You may not have the words for it yet…
But something about your relationship with food or your body doesn’t feel aligned.
You’ve tried to manage it. Maybe even control it. But the same patterns keep showing up.
This is where we begin, not by fixing it, but by understanding it.
This is NOT:
A diet plan
A weight-loss program
A surface-level conversation
A place to be judged or “fixed”
This IS:
A guided, structured group experience
A space for honest reflection
A place to understand your patterns
A process of learning how to respond differently
REAL VOICE. REAL TRANSFORMATION
Integrated Into Real Life
This work is not just a theory. It's lived, embodied, and making a difference in the lives of people in our community and beyond.
I am a personal trainer, a coach, a bodybuilder, and a woman who has dealt with disordered eating for over ten years. I have taken my struggles and used them to educate and help other women get stronger, take up space, regain autonomy, and love what their body does for them, no matter what it looks like.
I believe that group coaching, focused on studying one's relationship with food and body, supports the transformational potential clients can achieve.

What Happen In a Group
Guided Exploration
Each session is structured to help you explore your relationship with food, body, and self.
Real Conversations
You’ll hear yourself in others, and others in yourself.
Personal Insight
Patterns become clearer when they are seen, not avoided.
Practice & Integration
You’ll begin applying new ways of thinking and responding in real time.
The FABS Experience
FABS is a small group experience designed to help you explore the deeper layers of your relationship with food and your body.
It evolved from years of teaching, clinical work, and personal experience, and continues to grow based on what truly helps people.
Rather than overwhelming you with information, this work focuses on:
Meaningful reflection
Personal awareness
Practical application
This is not about doing it perfectly.
It’s about understanding yourself more clearly.
Structure & Format
Small, intentional groups
Typically 4–6 weeks (varies by group)
In-person (Rapid City area)
Session are 90 minutes in duration
Each group builds on itself, allowing space for both learning and integration.
Who It’s For
The ideal FABS member is someone who is:
Ready to commit to examining themselves
Willing to explore a new way of thinking about the self
Self-compassionate
Ready to be honest and do the work
Healing your relationship with food and your body is hard work. Are you ready?
Is FABS Therapy?
FABS is not confidential therapy or a replacement for individual therapy.
It is a coaching model that offers education, support, and experiential learning in a group setting.
Individual consultation is available for deeper, personalized support when needed.
