Healing Food Relationships
Nourish Your Body
Welcome to Healing Relationships with Food I’m Kalen Wehagen, Nutrition and Dietetic Technician Registered (NDTR) with a private practice in Santa Rosa, CA. I’m honored you’re here.
Are you ready to transform and heal your relationship with food and your body? Are you ready to gain more insight and tools to transcend your struggles with food and body? I’m here to support you with compassion and empowerment.
I believe that working together as partners can bring new enlightenment and a peace around food that you haven’t experienced before. In over 10 years of working with individuals in a variety of settings, I've helped people find a new and more satisfying way of relating to food and nourishment.
As an encouraging coach, we’ll find and explore your underlying beliefs that too often obscure the inner freedom and calm that is possible for you.
I believe in an approach that meets you exactly where you are, that nurtures your awakening, and guides you with tender-heartedness and compassion.
I am here to support you. I believe a new relationship to food is within your reach!

ABOUT KALEN WEHAGEN NDTR
I've been consistently gratified to work in this field for over 10 years. The beauty of experiencing each unique individual discover a new relationship to nutrition and their body is so rewarding! My role is to coach you and be a catalyst for your own change. Long held patterns may take time to shift, so trust and patience are the most important aspects of our meeting together. Without them you will continue to spin in despair.
Our sessions will be a mix of nutrition and “therapy”, as these relationships are intertwined. You can be assured that tenderness is primary, within our confidential and respectful space.
The inner dialogue about your core values around food and your body is crucial to uncover! Rather than a number on the scale, the goal is to find a life-long inner peace around nourising your body. Uncovering and exploring may be challenging, but YOU will be building the foundation of your core values around your relationship with food.
We tap into beliefs that may have been built long ago, and evaluate if they are still of service to you and your vision for yourself - your vision will lead the way. Creating and feeling new attitudes and behaviors in relationship to food is a key motivator in your new relationship. Yes, this process may feel scary but you’ll be supported each step of the way.
My passion and commitment to this work stems from knowing deeply that change is possible - that there is peace on the other side.
Thank you for taking the time to consider sharing your nutrition journey with me. I’m accepting new clients at this time in Santa Rosa, CA or via phone or zoom.
Getting to know me:
I have two young boys, almost 7 years and 2 years. I have two dogs, Lady, a doxie, and Duchess, a mix, along with my oldest son's aquatic frog. In my early 20's, I studied in Maui, HI for a year to receive my massage certificate. I enjoyed having my blog, "Dash & Drizzl" where I created recipes and mused about food and emotions. I love dancing, writing, cooking, hikes, music, reading, spending time with my boys, my dogs and of course, nature.
