This event is designed for neurodivergent minds (especially ADHD, autism, or sensory-sensitive folks) who:
Forget to eat when hyperfocused
Feel overwhelmed when choosing meals
Eat the same foods but crave variety
Struggle with textures and smells
Find meal planning exhausting
Feel guilty for not eating “normally”
Eat a little during the day and a lot at night
Want support that honors their brain
Eating isn’t always easy and it’s not your fault.
Neurodivergent brains experience food, routine, and processes differently. This event gives you space to:
- Understand why eating and cooking feel harder for you
- Explore your sensory needs at your own pace without judgment
- Learn ADHD-friendly tools for meal preparation & planning
- Build confidence in creating food routines that work for you
- Practice mindfulness strategies to manage anxiety around eating
What to Expect
Community
Build meaningful connections in a safe and welcoming environment. Share your experiences and insights with others as we collectively foster an easier experience with food built for your needs.
Mini Talks
Join an intuitive eating–aligned therapist and dietitian who will break down why food can feel harder for neurodivergent people, normalize those struggles, and share empowering insights with practical tools you can start using right away to build confidence around food. Both facilitators live with ADHD themselves so they truly get it.
Guided Meditation
Connect with your body through a calming meditation designed to foster a calming experience to make the eating process more attainable.
Interactive Stations
Move at your own pace and explore a variety of nurturing activities from our sensory snack station to creating your safe eating space through art.
Light Refreshments
Enjoy a selection of light refreshments, including drinks and snacks to nourish your body as you learn and immerse yourself in the day's activities.
Take-Home Resources
You’ll leave with practical tools you can actually use, including illustrated guides, ADHD-friendly meal planning templates, and other calming goodies.
Nourish Your Neurodivergence is:
- Shame-free and weight-inclusive. There’s no talk of calories, weight loss, or “good” vs. “bad” foods.
- Created by neurodivergent professionals. Both facilitators live with ADHD themselves, so they understand these struggles from the inside out.
- Hands-on and interactive. Instead of just listening to lectures, you’ll try practical tools, creative exercises, and sensory-based activities.
- Focused on empowerment. We’ll normalize your challenges, help you connect the dots around why eating can feel so hard, and give you realistic strategies you can actually use in daily life.
- Community-oriented. You’ll meet others who share your experiences, so you leave knowing you’re not alone.
- This event isn’t about changing who you are. It’s about helping you feel supported, resourced, and confident in how you nourish yourself.

But through deep healing, unlearning harmful messages, and reconnecting with her own worth, Jess has grown into the most confident and authentic version of herself.
Jess' work is rooted in compassion, body acceptance, and a fierce commitment to helping women reclaim their inherent worth.

Meet Jessica Cannon, MS, RDN, LDN
Founder, Owner, and Lead Nutrition Therapist at Nutrition That Heals, LLC.
In 2022, Jessica was diagnosed with endometriosis. As a registered dietitian she knew that she had to turn her full attention to anti-inflammatory foods, proper hydration, and self-care. Once she had figured out how to make food nourishing for her body and its unique needs, she knew she had to share what she learned with others. She also has lived experience with an eating disorder.
After proper healing, she decided to start her own practice. She has been helping people with their health and well-being ever since. She is proud to be a HAES (R)-aligned provider and a member of EDRD Pro. She is grateful to have a group of amazing clinicians working with her.
Our nutrition counseling sessions are scheduled on your time, according to your needs, and centered around your goals. We’re here to listen to your challenges and work with you on your health journey to a better, more nourished lifestyle. We take a holistic approach to nutrition.
The Nutrition That Heals team is passionate about overall well-being and empowering others to feel their best through proper nutrition and self-care. Jessica sees clients in person in Lancaster City, PA and she and her team provide telehealth services to clients in over 15 states.
Frequently Asked Qestions
Who is this workshop for?
This event is designed for neurodivergent adults (18+) who are tired of struggling with meals, routines, and “shoulds” around food. It’s especially for those who have tried dieting, meal planning, and other techniques designed for neurotypical brains and are looking for something that is specifically tailored to the unique challenges of having ADHD, Autism or both.
Do I need to have any experience with cooking or meal planning?
Not at all. We will provide tools for all skill levels in the kitchen.
What should I bring?
Yourself, your openness, and anything that helps you feel comfortable. All materials for the activities as well as fidgets will be provided. If you’d like to take notes, feel free to bring a notebook and pen.
What should I wear?
We encourage you to dress comfortably. Think cozy, soft, and true to you. This is a relaxed, nurturing environment. You may be sitting on cushions, chairs, or moving between stations, so comfort is key.
Will food be provided?
Yes! Light refreshments and beverages will be available. If you have any dietary restrictions or allergies, please let us know in advance and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
Is this considered therapy or counseling?
While a licensed mental health provider and nutrition counselor will be leading the event, this is not a clinical therapy or nutrition counseling session. The workshop is an educational, supportive, and wellness-focused experience. If you're currently in therapy, this event can complement that work beautifully.
How many people will be there?
This is a small, intimate event designed to feel safe and personal. We aim to keep it cozy and connected and for space purposes, we'll have no more than 12 attendees.
Is the space accessible?
Yes! We’re committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for everyone. The venue includes an ADA-accessible entrance, size-inclusive furniture, and accessible, gender-neutral restrooms.
We are neurodivergent ourselves, so there will never be overhead lighting in the rooms we're working in. Picture soft lamps, and natural light only. If you have any specific accessibility needs or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re happy to support you however we can to ensure you feel safe, seen, and comfortable throughout the afternoon.
