YOUR PLATE, YOUR PEACE
YOUR PLATE, YOUR PEACE
Three learning paths.
One system that sticks.
Three unique paths to choose from. The antithesis of one-size-fits-all.
Whether you’re looking for neurodivergent-friendly mealtime structure, mind–body somatic support or gentle nutrition guidance, each of our three paths will leave you with a simple, repeatable mealtime and self-care system.
Track 1: Adopting Neurodivergent - Friendly Systems
Learn how your brain works so you can scale from low-spoons survival mode to good-energy weeks and give yourself the structure you need, for loving consistency without rigidity.
What Your Neurodivergent-Friendly System Covers:
- Meet the Meal Map, guaranteed to reduce daily decision fatigue
- Grocery Automations & Pantry Musts, for the ultimate brain break.
- ND Nutrition Basics, for nutrient dense meals your brain approves of.
- Happy Habits, a tiered habit system that adapts to changing moods, energy levels and executive functioning.
- Burnout Red Flags & Recovery Tools, to manage ND burnout.
- Burnout Friendly Meals, because you do need to eat (unfortunately).
Track 2: Exploring the Connection Between Mental & Physical Health Through Food
Develop an awareness of how your body and emotions connect at mealtime and discover evidence-based somatic practices and self-regulation tools to make eating finally feel gentle, doable and safe.
What Your Mind–Body–Mealtime Somatic System Covers:
- Nervous System Mapping, to spot dysregulation before you spiral.
- Somatic Toolbox, for real-time regulation through breathwork, movement, meditations, EFT tapping and more.
- Interoception Building, to recognize hunger, fullness and emotional cues with clarity.
- Anxiety & Aversion Supports, to manage meal panic, avoidance and old food fears as they come up.
- Non-judgmental Eating Essentials, like intuitive eating and somatic nutrition.
- Recovery Frameworks, to help you safely understand the spectrum of disorder and recovery.
Track 3: Supporting Your Body Through Empowered Nutrition
Move past diet culture misconceptions and learn to fuel your body with gentleness, confidence and care by building realistic nutrition habits that honor any season your body is in - today, and as it evolves.
Your Gentle Nutrition System Includes:
- The No-Brainer Meal Formula, to build balanced plates without stress or second-guessing.
- Macro & Micro Basics, to understand how nutrients support your energy, hormones, and mood.
- Grocery Automations, to take the overthinking out of shopping for good.
- Flavor & Nutrient Boosters, that upgrade your meals with ease (without extra cooking).
- Smart Convenience Foods & Snacks, to stay nourished when time or energy is low.
- Mindset & Myth-Busting, so you can unlearn diet rules and trust your body again.
How The Counter Works
Clear the Noise
Start with our Core Course: a 1-hour, self-guided playlist designed to reveal the perfectionism, burnout & food noise hijacking your plate. Our Life Wheel tool will map both your wins and where new habits can begin.
Our process is a sanctuary for the part of you that’s exhausted by trying to do it all “right”. Here’s what happens after you join:
Choose your Path
Join founder Micole for a 25-minute welcome call where you'll get support setting a 3-month goal and choosing a learning track to help you get there. We have three options to choose from. Simple, clear, no overwhelm.
Create your System
Our pace is slow and steady for busy lives:
3 months to move through your learning track and practice your new system. Done-for-you templates, easy-to-use tools and a clutter-free resource library help you craft a weekly routine you’ll actually use.
Cultivate Consistency
With your new system in motion, get the ongoing support you need to keep it working for every season of you: bi-weekly live calls, expert pop-ups and a low-pressure community of cheerleaders means consistency is built in.
You’re never going at it alone. Meet The Experts.
Your membership features access to an ecosystem of trauma-informed practitioners, coaches, and mental health-aligned experts who we stand behind. From somatic support to neurodivergent nutrition, our multidisciplinary, diverse collective provides care rooted in compassion and credibility.

The impact you’ll feel,
from those who’ve lived it
“This membership gave me an entirely new way to connect with food and my body, without restriction —
After recovering from orthorexia, I felt ashamed and confused about wanting to feel better in my body again.
This membership gave me an entirely new way to connect with food and my body, without restriction—just small, sustainable changes like eating more often, listening to my hunger cues, and letting go of food guilt. I feel good in my body again—for the first time in a long time.”

Let’s break bread.
The beyond burnt-out. The anxious spiral-ers & nail-biters. The neuro-spicies (bc TikTok told you so). The ones white-knuckling it alone. The “what lunch table do I belong at?” kids (iykyk).
