The one stop shop for everything you need on your bariatric journey.
Hello, my beautiful Bariatric Babe!
First off, I just want to say this...
You are capable, you are worthy, you are so incredibly brave, and I am so very proud of you. You have already taken the biggest leap of faith—you had weight loss surgery and made it to the “losers bench”. You’ve invested in yourself in a BIG way, babe. Not many people choose to step up and show up for themselves in the ways you have. I know how much this weight loss surgery journey means to you. It means everything to me too. And this decision takes SO much work. Real blood, sweat, and tears—and anyone who judges you and says that you’re taking the “easy way out” doesn’t have a clue what they’re saying.
THE SUPPORT YOU'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR
Have you been feeling stuck on your weight loss surgery (WLS) journey? Like you’ve tried everything, but you’re still spinning your wheels?
Maybe you’ve been:
- Struggling with late-night grazing or compulsive snacking.
- Fighting feelings of guilt and shame every time you “slip up.”
- Going back to “old habits” like emotionally or impulsively eating.
- Afraid of regaining weight or undoing all your hard work.
- Trying to balance real life with this overwhelming feeling that you should be doing better.
- Unable to hit your weight loss goals despite working so hard
You’re not failing—you’re just missing the right kind of support. And that’s where The T.R.I.B.E.® comes in
What if this could be your story instead?
- Imagine waking up and not stressing about food all day long.
- Knowing what to eat and having a plan that works for your life—without feeling restrictive.
- Feeling proud and confident because you’re finally seeing progress that feels sustainable.
- Breaking free from the guilt-shame cycle and realizing that you’re doing better than you think.
- Being surrounded by people who get it—who know exactly what you’re going through and are cheering you on every step of the way.
What is
T.R.I.B.E.® is a monthly subscription based membership program designed specifically for women—and those who identify as women or non-gender-conforming people—on their weight loss surgery journeys.
This isn’t just another program or quick-fix plan. It’s a comprehensive support system that provides the tools, resources, and community you need to:
- Achieve your weight loss goals sustainably.

- Break free from the exhausting yo-yo dieting cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Not at all, babe! With a generic meal plan, there’s no accountability to put in the work, and you may still struggle with food and your weight. In the T.R.I.B.E.® Membership, my Bariatric Meal Plate process equips you with the long-term skills to feel confident in building a healthy plate and empowered in your food choices. This helped me so much after weight loss surgery, and continues to help my 1:1 clients!
The T.R.I.B.E.® supports all babes on their weight loss and weight loss surgery journeys. Anyone who wants to heal their relationship with food, and is ready to put in the work for long-term success, is a perfect fit for the T.R.I.B.E.® Whether you’re recently post-op, or it’s been years since your WLS, or you haven’t even had surgery yet—the T.R.I.B.E.® will absolutely help you.
ABSOLUTELY! VSG is becoming increasingly popular amongst the bariatric surgeries, which is why so many members of the T.R.I.B.E.® have had VSG. But ALL pre- and post-op women, those who identify as women, and nonbinary/non-gender conforming people from ALL bariatric surgeries are welcome (VSG, RNY, lap band, duodenal switch, you name it!). As a Registered Dietitian, I’m familiar with everything—and my bariatric meal plate method can be customized to any surgery type.
Anyone pre- or post-op can! My videos are done in stages, so you know exactly which stage you should be on based on your level of restriction. In general, most post-op bariatric babes can’t incorporate full well-rounded meals until at least 9+ months post-op (but this varies greatly from person to person!) Again, you must always check with your bariatric surgeon and dietitian before changing your diet post-op.
We don’t offer refunds, so I strongly recommend reading through the whole page so you know what to expect. Depending on the membership plan you select, you will be automatically re-billed so long as you continue to be a T.R.I.B.E.® member. As a member, you have access to the proprietary. You’re free to cancel at any time, but I’ll be sad to see you go. As long as you cancel before the billing period, you will not be charged for that month or future months.
A schedule is provided every month with dates for our live Q&As, guest expert calls, support groups and workouts! Dates will vary each month to accommodate multiple schedules. If you can’t make it, no worries! You can submit your questions and concerns before we go live, and everything will be recorded and saved, so you can go back and watch it later. We typically have around 20 live support group calls each month and they are held from 12pm-9pm in EST Sunday-Saturday. Please note, support group calls are not recorded to protect our members’ privacy.
No, you’re locked in, babe! As long as you continue to be a T.R.I.B.E.® member, the price will stay the same. If you cancel your membership and choose to come back later, I can’t guarantee the price will be as low as it is now. The T.R.I.B.E.® has so much to offer—we’re always adding more resources, support, and materials to the membership—and this is the lowest price the membership will ever be!
Not quite. The structure of these programs is very different, which is why I created the T.R.I.B.E.®! It’s my goal to give you support, guidance, and reliable information for your weight loss journey. The method I use in my 1:1 coaching program is what you see in the videos, guides, and workbooks I give you.
Definitely not, babe. You should continue to follow your surgeon’s guidelines and plan. Any information you learn or acquire in the membership should always be brought back and discussed with your own bariatric team. It’s important that they continue to be in charge of all your medical and nutritional care post-op, and it’s important to go to your routine checkups and lab draws. The T.R.I.B.E.® is not meant to replace or substitute medical or nutrition advice from your bariatric team. Joining the T.R.I.B.E.® is not a substitute for seeing a doctor, dietitian, therapist, or any other professional advice.
Just like our bariatric tools, this program only works as hard as you do! I so badly wish I could swoop in and do the work for you, babe. But I can’t. The resources and tools we provide are incredible and AMAZING, but they only “work” and get you the results you’re looking for if you’re holding yourself accountable and doing the work. Everything in the T.R.I.B.E.® is tried-and-true methods that have been so helpful for me on my bariatric journey. I’ve heard the same rigid rules in the doctor’s office. I’ve felt the same feelings of failure, anxiety, shame, and loneliness. It took hard work to keep going—and with the support of my fellow T.R.I.B.E.® leaders, I found the skills to empower myself and feel confident in my food and exercise choices. That’s why I started the T.R.I.B.E.®: to help babes like you, so you don’t have to feel lost in the dark. And you won’t find a membership like this to deliver the resources, support and community that we provide—I’m so confident that the T.R.I.B.E.® is exactly what you need to be successful on your journey and reach your goals.
In Facebook support groups, oftentimes there is a lot of confusing and misguided information. That won’t be happening here. The T.R.I.B.E.® Membership is a community, a support group hub, a one-stop-shop for bariatric videos, guides and workbooks, meal recipes, snack and coffee recipes, guest expert calls, live Q&As, and workouts. The T.R.I.B.E® is unlike any other membership out there. We offer a wealth of information, resources, and support from certified professionals and other babes that have all gone through weight loss surgery— and it’s all in one place!
No worries, babe! We were all pre-op at one point. Whether you’re pre-op, 4 months post-op, or 4 years post-op, there is a place for you in the T.R.I.B.E.® In the T.R.I.B.E.®, we support and encourage one another on our bariatric journeys, no matter which part of the journey you’re on.
Totally babe! I was nervous too when I first started connecting with other weight loss surgery babes. But we are all here to support and encourage each other to find our tribe, if you will. It’s my hope that regardless of whatever judgment or hardships you are facing in your daily life, that the T.R.I.B.E.® becomes a safe space for you to feel included, accepted, and hopefully find your best friends!
As long as you’re a T.R.I.B.E.® member, you can always access the materials!
For sure! This is your T.R.I.B.E.® too, babe. While some topics are already on the agenda (and there are a lot!), your input is greatly valued. We’ll send you surveys throughout your membership to give you the opportunity to tell us what topics you’d like us to cover—that way, you’ll get everything you need to be successful!
Absolutely! Being a member of the T.R.I.B.E.® is the perfect place to be while you wait for 1:1 coaching spots to open up. This way, you get a head start on learning my method, can ask questions, and will receive support from a whole community of babes who are working towards similar goals!
Epic wins bariatric babes experience in the membership may be shared on Instagram to provide inspiration to the bariatric community. But don’t worry babe, I would never share any identifying information on social media or any other public platform without your consent or permission. Anything said or shared in the T.R.I.B.E.® is safe, confidential and your privacy will be respected.
Absolutely! We would love to have you with us! Currently in the T.R.I.B.E.®, we have members from all over the world, including: the U.S. Canada, Australia, Israel, Ireland, and the UK! Please note, support group calls are typically from 12pm-9pm in EST Sunday-Saturday.
