Do you find information about healthy nutrition quiet confusing? And has following a healthy diet become a kind of stress for you? Are you somehow stuck in your eating habits and overthinking them?

I am an experienced nutrition scientist and nutritionist specialised on nutrition psychology. I can advise you independently to

• get clarity on what is really healthy nutrition
• understand where and why you are stuck in certain eating habits
• conceive the bigger context your nutrition issue is embedded in
• enable you to find inner solutions to relieve yourself from suffering and grow personally, too.

Welcome in my

Whatever you share, you will be provided a trustworthy context.

Please, note that my practice is located in Basel now. On 1st of April I will move with my practice to Waldeckweg 24, 4102 Binningen.

• disordered eating such as
• • craving
  • experiencing never-ending phases of restricted eating (strict diets) with possible weight loss alternating with phases of eating attacts and possible weight gain
• overthinking such as what to eat, how much to eat, what to trust so that it takes a marked amount of energy and time in your daily life
• being strict with yourself and your ideas of how to eat as well as feelings of guilt and possibly even shame in case you fail to fulfill your ideal
• eating disorders such as
• • anorexia
  • bulimia
  • binge eating
  • orthorexia
  • night eating 
  • secret eating
• obesity

The approach comprises different aspects which have proven to be essential for nutrition counseling:

• a clear explanation of a healthy diet (nutrition education) and the impact of healthy nutrition on your wellbeing and your body
• body focused approach which means
• • explaining the body´s impact and the body´s stress on your eating behaviour, for example calming yourself down by eating
  • making you more sensitive for the signs of your body such as hunger, thirst, satisfaction, low blood sugar, or craving without being hungry
• practical help and tools to make you more sensitive and aware in order to enable you to help yourself (empowering you)
• my empathy as well as trustworthy frame to share and work together

For the first session, I would like to see you in my practice, if possible. In case of follow ups, we will agree on what works best.

I offer face-to-face consultations in my practice in Basel as well as video and phone sessions.

If you have doctoral prescription, your health insurance (Grundversicherung) will cover a certain amount of sessions.

I also offer sessions for those who pay themselves.

I am an independent nutritionist - so, I do not earn anything by selling or advertising products.

Özlem Schader has made an incredible difference to my health and well-being. She listens, looks at the situation holistically, and gives an easy-to-follow personalized eating structure. She is very empathetic as well as knowledgeable, which I found to be the perfect combination when dealing with issues around food intolerance, pain, illness, weight and stress. I would highly recommend her as a dietician. S. M. 6th of February 2021
