Intuitive Eating Virtual Workshop
Overview
Nutrition is so much more than what we eat. It includes how & why we eat as well. When we start to learn about Intuitive Eating (IE), we discover aspects of eating, such as pleasure, mindfulness, & satisfaction, that may have been missing in our lives.
In our overflowing health & wellness culture, it’s easy to get caught up in the “right” & “wrong” way to be eating. We are here to challenge this & offer an alternative to dieting that allows you to become the expert of your own body. You can take back the power in your eating & create a positive relationship with food & your body. By learning to understand your body’s innate internal wisdom, such as signals of hunger, fullness, & food preference, you can focus on nourishment and self-care instead of self-control. This way of eating also helps to end the constant battle for weight loss & facilitates finding the weight you are meant to be.
The Intuitive Eating Virtual Workshop is meant to guide you in finding your peace with food that allows you to fully fuel your body & start LIVING.
The vision for this workshop is that you are able to start, continue, or refine your journey with Intuitive Eating. With the support of fellow intuitive eaters, ourselves, & the tools you will learn, we hope that you will feel empowered to rediscover your health and happiness through food.
