If we’ve been at war with food and our bodies for a long time, we’re probably going to be deeply exhausted.
The Relaxed Eating Workshop:
So many of us eat from a place of anxiety, guilt and shame.
So many of us pursue our weight and wellbeing goals from a place of stress, struggle and striving.
So many of us have spent years – sometimes decades – trying to lose fat or gain weight or stop comfort eating or heal our relationship with food.
We keep trying to find THE coach, of THE diet or THE programme that will ‘fix’ us.
But what if you don't need fixing?
What if you could pursue your wellbeing goals from a place of love, of pleasure, of joy?
What if you could release the eating habits that no longer serve you with ease, with trust, with peace?
What if you could discover a whole new paradigm when it comes to food?
A paradigm where food gets to feel safe. Your body gets to be a place of peace and delight. Eating gets to be easy, playful, pleasurable.
This is why I created the Relaxed Eating workshop.
The workshop doesn’t tell you what to eat or how much to eat.
It doesn’t give you rules to follow or demonise food groups.
It doesn’t shame you if you want to change the size and shape of your body or if you want to learn to embrace your body exactly as it is.
This workshop supports you in developing a relaxed, authentic way of eating.
A way of eating that's rooted in love rather than fear.
A way of eating that will support you in achieving the goals you want to achieve, living the life you want to lead and becoming the person you want to be.
For many of us, we stumble across food as a way to protect us from feeling overwhelmed by intense emotions we don’t know how to feel.
This workshop is for you if you...
- Are exhausted from being at war with your body, want to make peace with food and find a way of eating that honours your values, needs and goals.
