Toni Kohn, MS, RD - Berkeley, California

Toni has an intangible warmth and grounding presence; she is one of the most intuitive and wise people I have ever met. She has helped me start to see safety and color in the world again and I feel so incredibly lucky to have met her. Food feels less stressful, more fun and loving, and I'm so grateful to have her kind, honest, and encouraging guidance. She is one of few people I trust to open up to about life and is extremely thoughtful, attuned, and insightful. Words feel inadequate to thank her enough and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone wanting help with food or life.
(P.S. She also has the absolute sweetest pets!)

I am so grateful to have found Toni. I always look forward to working with her. Toni’s insights resonate with me in a very powerful way. Through working with her, I feel confident that I am forging a new story for myself- one that achieves the goals that I had in mind when I met her. Lucky me!

I found Toni at a time when I felt I had no language to describe what I was feeling, except that something needed to change. There was so much fear, shame, and confusion about my relationship to food and my body, and on top of that I was really judgemental towards myself for having those feelings. I am so, so grateful to have had the chance to work with Toni for the past 8 months. She has helped me find language and love for myself in a way I didn’t think was possible. She holds space for whatever and however things come up in a way that’s truly special. While I still have a lot of work/healing to do, I feel so guided and cared for in this process.

Toni not only changed my relationship with food, but changed my relationship with others and myself for the better. I am so very grateful for the impact she has had on my life -- I am kinder to myself and I feel more secure. She guided me through turbulent times with an abundance of tools and knowledge while making me feel so cared for and lovingly held. I recently stopped seeing Toni regularly after three years because I had made so much progress -- but she promised to stay available to me. It's been a gift to still have her as a cheerleader, mentor, and coach whenever I need to call on her. I cannot recommend Toni enough!

I never learned what healthy eating behavior looks like, and in my 20s this led to establishing some pretty negative habits (skipping breakfasts and lunches, storm eating high fat foods at night) that eventually started affecting my health.

I took it seriously and made radical, medicine motivated changes, but at the same time I also reached out to Toni. One thing she said in our first meeting jumped out; something along the lines of “the first month will be easy, but once your tests show positive results, and you start to lose the health fear, that’s when it gets harder”.

A nutritionist can’t force you to make major life changes. But having regular check ins with Toni has been absolutely vital to going from an unsustainable fear based lifestyle change to a sustainable long term change.

I’m still on the journey towards an intuitive, healthy and sustainable approach to eating, but I can confidently say that having Toni to check in with and offer perspective is making this transformation easier.

I feel incredibly lucky that I started working with Toni when I did. Struggling with restriction for many years, I had almost given up on healing entirely. I have experienced my fair share of dieticians and eating disorder therapists, but I have never trusted any of them before Toni. She is both incredibly compassionate and honest, and I can say with confidence that I have the most hopeful outlook on the future I’ve had since my eating disorder began at 14. Toni has worked with me to look at my eating disorder as a protective mechanism born out of a disorienting world that is cruel to young people who don’t fit into a standard of “thinness”. Working with the root causes and childhood traumas, I have begun to unpack and discover my courageous self. I truly hope that anyone struggling with loving themselves and their body has the opportunity to work with Toni, and I am eternally grateful that I found her when I needed her most.

Toni has done such amazing work with my 18-year-old daughter over the last five months. She has helped her reach her goal of being symptom-free by the start of college. We are so grateful for her knowledge, support, and encouragement. I do not think anyone else could have done as good a job as Toni has.

I have been working with Toni for about 10 months now. I've spent most of my life struggling with a viscous cycle of binging and restricting, gaining and losing weight and feeling hopeless that I would never have a healthy relationship with food. Under her caring and professional guidance, I have learned so many tools to help me break the cycle and look at all aspects of myself with love and compassion. When I first starting seeing Toni, I felt desperate, hopeless and food obsessed. She received me with open arms, taught me how to trust myself and I can now say I feel so much more at peace with my relationship with food. I could never have imagined this feeling 10 months ago and I am forever grateful to Toni for her support and continued guidance navigating my underlying triggers and traumas associated with food. She truly has been a life saving gift to me.
