"CAKE has changed my relationship with food.
I’ve been stuck in yo-yo diet cycle and knew I had to develop healthy relationship with food and sustainable habits, but no matter how hard I tried I kept failing.
CAKE allowed me to discover more about what was keeping me stuck and gave me tools to change my habits.
The best part is it does not feel restrictive, shame-y or toxic. Instead it’s empowering, freeing and sustainable" - A.
WHEN IT COMES
TO NUTRITION,
YOU'VE TRIED IT ALL.
IT'S LEFT YOU FEELING CONFUSED
LOW-KEY EMBARRASSED
AND SO. FRUSTRATED.
It seems so easy for everyone else. They just eat the things, follow the plan, and don't seem to think too much about it.
​
That is definitely...not how it goes for you.
​
You're thinking about food, well, alot.
​
It always starts with you reallyyy wanting to start over,
to make the choices you're "supposed to"
​
but sometimes you forget to eat at all
​
or you scarf handfuls of cookies for lunch
​
order all the things in the drive-thru
​
and wonder that sprig of parsley counts towards your vegetable intake
and then you are full...of regrets.
You spend annoying amounts of time
quietly worrying about it
and Googling down rabbit holes,
looking for new methods
to Get This Under Control.
​
You are done with restricting but sometimes you think maybeee that one's not a diet,
because it sounds hEaLtHy!
You tell yourself to just need to try...harder.
*rinse and repeat *
​
It all feels like a hopeless cycle,
with sides of increasing underlying shame-y feelings and slow-burning desperation.
​
This constant drama with food is stressful
and feels physically and emotionally awful.
"I'm a strong, independant, woman!" you think.
"I know better than this!"
​
But what's a woman to do when
the tools you have been using
(restricting, going bananas, or anything in between)
aren't working,
​
scrolling Instagram
for body positivity posts
isn't helping you to stop feeling some type of way about your body,
and you're starting to feel like you may never get a handle on this food thing.
YOU ARE NOT THE PROBLEM.
IT'S THE METHOD.
It's time to opt out of the cycle
of cookie cutter solutions
and get personal.
You need a program that
combines evidence-based strategies
and a radically new approach
that works with you and the inevitable every day chaos of life.
You need
​
a plan that doesn't feel like work - it just happens because it's designed for your real life.
​
a plan that changes as you do
​
to radically shift your mindset
and approach to food
​
to let go of perfect
(so you can find consistent)
​
to learn how to calm down about food
​
while still feeling in control and finding moderation
​
so that you can
enjoy all the foods you love
and feel good in your body.
We've Got you.
(Yes, seriously.)

"It can feel scary to try something different - I was worrying I would fail again. I was worrying that letting go of restrictions and diets would make me lose control of my weight and body.
Instead, I found a new sense of appreciation and love for my body and sense of confidence in how to nourish my body in a healthy way that is sustainable and not restrictive and allows me to reach my long term goals." - CAKE nutrition client

Nutrition is a topic that has been frequently brought up to me by the clients I work with. There is so much overwhelm and anxiety surrounding food and it effects so many factors in my clients lives: their mood, training, lives at home, relationship and comfort with their bodies, energy levels...I could go on.
​
Folks want to feel better in their lives and bodies and they know this is impacted by their food choices and routines. What they aren't sure about is where they should start, which changes are worthwhile, or how to ensure changes stick around.
​
I knew that we needed to create a program that reflected Bolte Fitness values. Our nutrition offering had to be inclusive, empathetic, sustainable, and a continuation of whole-person coaching.
​
This is that program.
​
I am confident that CAKE will give you the tools and mindset shifts you need to approach food differently, in a way that respects you as an individual.

I get a liiiiitle passionate / involved with the things I care about and I have 4 kids, so I tend to have a lot on the go! This why I thrive on systems, shortcuts, and finding creative ways to reach goals. If something isn’t working, I want to find a better way. This is what led me to start coaching in a way that’s a little outside of the norm.
​
So many folks are overwhelmed when it comes to nutrition and are focused on all the wrong details and ways of thinking. They are making their lives way harder than they have to be. It is also deeply frustrating to see the harmful ways that typical nutrition programs upheld oppressive values. I knew we could create something inclusive and better.
​
My favourite thing is to take what feels like an overwhelming challenge for someone and help them find a solution. I love showing the folks I work with that they can make small, manageable changes that will add up to make a massive difference in their lives.
​
And P.S. I actually do bake cakes (I've even made a few wedding cakes) and there is no universe in which I will accept that canceling any type of food is a solution. Your sweet tooth is safe with me!

This program is not meant to diagnose or treat any specific health or medical concern. Please speak with your doctor.
While many folks in the program have struggled with some sort of disordered eating in the past or would like to improve their relationship with food, this program is not designed to help folks overcome or manage an untreated or unmanaged eating disorder. Please speak with your doctor.
This goal and intentions behind this program are not weight-loss or any form of dieting to change the appearance of your body. While we respect individual goals and choices, to help keep this program as safe as possible for folks with varying history with food, body image, or eating disorders, so there is no guidance on food or weight in terms of numbers, sizes, restriction, and etc.
​
We do aim to support you in separating nutrition and body image and to provide a supportive space to explore this often difficult topic.
Nope. This is not what CAKE is about and will not be the right fit for you.
