Hi, I’m Ariane.

I’m a clinical nutritionist and coach. My work sits where nutrition and fitness usually stop.
I don’t ask women to control their bodies harder. I help them decode why their body learned to protect, hold, numb, or brace in the first place
Because weight struggles, emotional eating, and chronic stress are rarely willpower problems. They are patterns that once made sense - and can be changed when you understand what is driving them.
My work has been featured in more than 300 media outlets, including The New York Times, Vogue, Shape, and Men’s Health, and TV documentaries. I’ve have been working with NYC high performers for over 20 years.

My Beginnings

This work is personal.
When I was seven, my father died suddenly. Overnight, the world stopped feeling safe. I didn’t have language for grief or fear, so my body adapted. Food became comfort, control, and relief.
That turned into years of dieting, bingeing, and fighting my body. The harder I tried to force change, the worse it felt.
Everything shifted when I stopped treating the behavior like a defect and started treating it like information.
When I understood what the pattern was doing for me - helping me feel safe, steady, and soothed - the struggle started to loosen. That shift changed my relationship with food in a way no plan ever had.
It is the foundation of my work today.

How I work now

I help high-achieving women do what diets and discipline rarely solve long-term:
Decode the stress patterns driving cravings, emotional eating, and weight regain
Identify the emotional drivers underneath the pattern (what your body is protecting you from)
Rebuild with nutrition and training that support your biology and your actual life - not perfection
When the root changes, the symptoms do not need to keep showing up as loudly.
Clients experience:
emotional eating fading
food becoming more neutral (less obsession, less guilt, less “food noise”)
weight becoming easier to maintain
more stability during stressful seasons
more trust in their body and choices
Not because they tried harder. Because they are no longer fighting themselves.

This is the missing piece
Most fitness and nutrition approaches focus on behavior: What to eat. What to avoid. What workout to follow.
That matters - but it is not the whole story.
I work with the origin:
when the pattern started
what it solved at the time
what keeps it running now
what needs to change so your body does not rely on it anymore
This isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about understanding yourself deeply enough that change becomes logical - not forced.

My Method

The Decode Method
Decode Your Weight is both:
The method I use in my work, and
A program you can go through to create lasting change.
It blends:
clinical nutrition
stress physiology
emotional root-cause work
identity and behavior pattern change
We don’t just manage symptoms. We decode the pattern, shift what is driving it, and rebuild with tools that hold up in real life.
This is why my clients don’t just lose weight. They end emotional eating, stop cycling through “on/off,” and feel more at home in their body again.

If You’re Ready

If what you’ve tried has worked only temporarily... If you sense there’s something deeper driving the pattern... If you’re willing to look beneath behavior and into the real cause...
I offer a different way to work.
When you understand how your body has been responding - and why - change becomes practical, not personal.
