Beyond Foodâ˘Â
A trauma-aware, multicultural approach for women whoâve carried too much, too quietly â in a language and culture that werenât originally theirs.
Food became the place you turned
when achievement, identity, and belonging all lived on your shoulders. Not because you were weak â but because you needed relief.
Recovery begins here â with understanding and safety, not pressure.
âłď¸The Core Focus of Beyond Foodâ˘
This 6-month program works on three interconnected layers â
your body, your emotions, and your identity â
so recovery becomes something you can finally sustain.
Here's what we focus on.
1. Your Relationship With Food & Your Body
We look at how youâve been fueling yourself â not with judgment, but with curiosity.
Youâll learn what actually keeps your energy steady, what foods bring comfort without backlash, and how to enjoy eating again without rules, guilt, or fear of âlosing control.â
This is where binge-like patterns begin to lose their power, because your body finally feels supported.
2. Your Emotional World
Emotional eating doesnât happen because you're undisciplined.
It happens when your system is overwhelmed.
Together we explore stress, boundaries, loneliness,
expectations, and the pressure to hold everything together.
Youâll learn how to regulate your emotional load without needing food to cope or escape.
3. Your Identity as a Bilingual, Cross-Cultural, High-Achieving Woman
This is the part most programs miss entirely.
For bilingual and cross-cultural women, food often becomes tied to:
ăťperfectionism
ăťperforming competence in a second language
ăťworking twice as hard to be taken seriously
We explore how these deeper pressures shape your habits and self-worth â so you no longer have to carry it alone.
This is where women tell me:
âNow I finally understand why I acted the way I did.â
 What's included in Beyond Foodâ˘Â
Pre-work to begin with clarity
Youâll reflect on your eating patterns, emotions, and daily rhythms through guided questionsâ
so I can understand your world before we even begin.
This allows our first session to start with meaningful depth,
while keeping the process simple and manageable for busy women.
Bi-weekly 45-min Video Sessions (12 total)
A focused space to understand what has been driving your reactions and choicesâ
so the âwhyâ finally becomes clear and workable.
Between sessions, we make small, testable shifts so nothing becomes pass or failâjust information that helps you move forward.
Exploring the deeper parts of your emotions
We look at the places no one has asked you about and uncover whatâs underneathâalways with your permission.
I share my own lived experiences where helpful, so you can explore these layers without judgment, shame, or self-blame.
Support for both mind and bodyÂ
Support may include releasing self-blame, time and energy management, boundaries, stress, self-worth, your relationship with food, and preventing rebound patterns.
As these internal shifts land, your daily choices begin to feel lighter and more sustainable.
Unlimited messaging support
Video, audio, and text support from Monday to Friday, designed to meet you where you are.
A steady place to bring real-life momentsâso nothing heavy or confusing has to be held alone.
Curated resources
Books, videos, and tools selected specifically for what you need at each stage of your process.
Nothing overwhelmingâjust the right support at the right time, so you always know your next step.
A space where every part of you is met without judgment.
ăBonus for Pay-in-FullăđOne additional 45-min session
You can look put-together and successful while privately feeling overwhelmed, tense, or on edge.
That doesnât mean you're failing.
It means youâve been carrying too much for too long.
And if youâve lived between cultures or languages, that weight can feel even heavier â
learning the unspoken rules,
performing confidence in a language that wasnât yours at first,
and staying composed so you arenât misread.
What the world calls âstrongâ often hides exhaustion.
This work doesnât start with fixing habits.
It starts with understanding:
- the part of you that manages everything
- the part that never feels safe to slow down
- the part that learned to stay composed to avoid being misunderstood
- the part that carries the pressure for everyone
When those parts feel supported,
your choices begin to shift â not from force, but from relief.
Hi, Beautiful,
so glad you're here!
Iâm Kanna â a bilingual mentor whoâs lived through decades of eating disorders, body-image battles, and the self-esteem storms that come with them.
I know what it feels like to look steady on the outside while quietly falling apart inside.
For nearly 20 years, Iâve supported high-achieving women who seem composed and capable,
yet feel overwhelmed, tense, or on edge when no one is watching.
And for those of us who built our lives across cultures and languages, the pressure hits even deeper.
We learned the unspoken rules.
We performed confidence in a language that wasnât ours.
We held ourselves together to avoid being misunderstood.
We worked twice as hard just to be taken seriously.
That invisible weight shapes how we eat, cope, and judge ourselves â
and none of it means you lack discipline.
Food was never the problem.
It was the quickest relief your body knew when slowing down didnât feel safe.
You have support â but not always in the places where food, pressure, and identity meet. Here, youâre supported as a whole person.
Why Beyond Food⢠Works
Not restriction â restoration
Most programs try to control behavior.
Beyond Food⢠looks at what your whole system has been missing â
emotional safety, clarity, and space to respond instead of react.
When your system is supported,
the urgency decreases, and food stops feeling like something you have to manage or fix.
Your decisions become clearer and more sustainable â
not through willpower, but because your inner world finally feels calm and clear.
Support that sees your whole story
Youâre shaped by more than habits â
you've carried cultural rules, language pressure, and the constant work of trying to fit in.
The misunderstandings.
The need to stay composed.
The effort of proving youâre capable in a world that didnât start in your language.
Beyond Food⢠recognizes the weight youâve been carrying long before food ever entered the picture.
A space where you donât have to perform
Beyond Food⢠is where you can stop managing impressions
and simply be who you are.
You donât need to hold back parts of yourself to be understood.
Nothing has to be âtranslatedâ to make sense to me.
Here, you can speak about the pressure, the silence, and the exhaustion of holding everything together â
and finally feel supported without performing strength.

Beyond Food⢠WORKS.
HERE'S PROOF
I used to feel ashamed of my accent and cultural background. Now theyâre parts of me Iâm proud to take up space with.
Iâm no longer afraid of what people think of my body. The noise finally got quiet.
Food is joy again. I can eat the foods I grew up loving⌠without bingeing or losing control.
For the first time in years, Iâm eating what I love and still feel at home in my body â without obsessing or tracking anything.
My decisions around food feel confident, not anxious. It finally feels like me making the choices.
Shopping used to feel like a punishment.
Now I actually enjoy seeing myself in the mirror.
Finishing a big show used to mean bingeing afterward âto celebrate.â But for the past year, the urge hasnât shown up â not once.
That has never happened before.
I canât thank you enough.
I couldnât believe there were no rules to follow.
I eat what I love, and my body feels better than it ever has.
For the first time, âlose weightâ isnât on my New Yearâs resolution.
