Wake Up and Smell the Rosay
about
Finally find freedom and peace with food.
Disordered eating isn’t truly about the food on your plate; it’s the emotional weight beneath the surface.
Whether you’re:
• Afraid of weight gain
• Rigidly avoiding “unhealthy” foods
• Trapped in a vicious cycle of under-eating and over-eating
… it’s essential to realize that these challenges point to deeper issues of self-worth and fear. These root-cause issues are what Wake Up and Smell the Rosay aims to address.
Meet Natalie Rose, RP, MPsy
Therapist, Coach, Eating Disorder Expert.
From age 13, I began dieting to deal with growing body-image struggles, which eventually transformed into binge-eating.
Physical limitations due to a heart condition intensified my need to control my body size through food restriction, and my disordered eating habits escalated.
With my mother’s cancer diagnosis, I plunged into holistic health solutions, which spiraled into orthorexia.
Childhood struggles
College escalation
Orthorexia
Thankfully, a liberating exposure to anti-diet beliefs through social media started challenging my previous perceptions, and I took the first steps toward healing.
As I improved my own relationship with food, I realized I had a passion for aiding other women to overcome similar struggles. So, I got my Masters in Psychology and became a Registered Psychotherapist specializing in eating disorder recovery.
I started sharing a key entry point into a healthier food relationship — nourishing breakfast bowls — on Instagram. My content resonated with countless women and ultimately grew into a supportive community of nearly 100,000 members.

As my therapy client roster filled up, I recognized the need to extend my reach and serve the thousands of women I couldn’t serve one-on-one. Recovery CommunEATy was born out of the desire to provide a structured program and a supportive community for women seeking peace with food and themselves.

"Since working with Natalie, my life has transformed into a mindfulness, forgiveness, and self discovery journey. To anyone reading this and considering getting help, I would say it would be one of the greatest gifts you could grant yourself."
"Natalie has helped me discover what it feels like to have freedom from food. I no longer obsess over it, nor does it control my life. She has taught me through compassion, self love, and emotional regulation that I can eat the foods I love."
"Above all, Natalie helped me believe that I was competent and capable to achieve my goal. I now bake and cook for my family and friends several times a week."
“My coaching experience has been critical in my recovery. Working with Natalie has not only helped me recover from my eating disorder but has also helped my anxiety and depression.”
"I use to spend so much time planning my meals, weighing myself, planning what I'd order at restaurants ahead of time. Now I can go without worrying and am focused on trying good food & making connections with whomever I'm eating with."

Natalie Rose, a Registered Psychotherapist with a Masters in Psychology, is much more than just a therapist and virtual coach. She stands as a beacon of hope and expertise in the realm of disordered eating — a multifaceted issue deeply intertwined with emotions and self-perception.
What distinguishes Natalie is her personal journey of triumph over chronic dieting, binge eating, orthorexia, and a decades-long tumultuous relationship with food and body image. This firsthand experience fuels the passion and authenticity behind her brand, Wake Up and Smell The Rosay.
What began as a modest Instagram account where Natalie shared inspiring breakfast bowls (a vital yet often neglected meal for those struggling with disordered eating) has blossomed into a vibrant sanctuary uniting nearly 100,000 women. Together, they embark on a journey towards achieving a balanced relationship with food and nurturing a positive relationship with themselves.
