Soul’s Journey: Let Your Weight Be Your Teacher

02/06/2023

Have you ever found that in your moment of deepest despair, that it was also when you felt your own sense of humanity?

In Japan, kintsugi is the art of putting broken pottery pieces back together using gold.

So understand that your broken pieces are valuable. Worthy of being put back together using gold.

You are worthy of that healing!

After some R & R, I've decided to reopen my counseling business. If you are struggling, & need someone to talk to, I am available. I am trained & skilled in the treatment of complex trauma, eating psychology, & overall mental health issues.

If you are struggling with:

> restlessness/unhappiness in your life/can't find your purpose
> unresolved childhood trauma that's affecting your current life
> feelings out being of control/moods are up & down/chaos
> unable to manage your emotions/feel like you are going crazy
> trouble with relationships or work/repeating toxic patterns

I can help.

I charge $90/hr & I don't have a wait list.

I am a registered, licensed Social Worker, so your insurance may cover costs for your sessions. If you are Status Indian, your sessions are covered by Health Canada, as I am a Mental Health provider.

I am very skilled at getting at the heart of the issue & teaching my clients the tools they need to manage better on their own.

Emotional eating is the act of eating food not necessarily because the body is requiring nutrition in the moment, but because we're using eating to regulate our emotions.

Changing your relationship with food and your body

Brenda has been a member of Life Beyond Your Diet group since it began, and has made many powerful changes in her life!

1. She has let go of the need to go on another diet! This is huge because before Brenda spent endless hours a day thinking about what foods to eat, how much to eat, & worse, what foods she couldn't have! She avoided social gatherings & if she did, her focus wasn't on having fun. She was busy resisting the food!

2. She has implemented the #1 strategy that I teach - awareness of self! So now, when she notices herself eating when she's not hungry, she stops and asks herself if she really needs to eat right now. And most times, she is able to put the food down. Sometimes she decides, yes she does want to eat, & gives herself permission. And this helps her to eat a whole lot less!

3. She has learned that she needs to care for herself better, to care for her inner child more! And when she focuses on that, she wants to care for her body better.

4. She focuses on eating high quality foods, slowing down when she's eating, managing her stress, and looks for ways she can indulge herself without using food!

I appreciate having Brenda in our group: Life Beyond Your Diet because of the support you give to other members!

Four months ago, I created an online group membership program for women so that we could begin the process of de-programming off diets. We meet weekly for 90 minute sessions on Zoom and WOW, we've had some powerful discussions!
- how to have more self compassion for ourselves

- how to regulate our nervous systems so we don't use food for comfort

- the importance of slowing down & dealing with our stress to improve our digestive process & metabolism

- self forgiveness and acceptance of where we are on our journey with our bodies

I've decided it's time to re-open my online group membership program soon: Life Beyond Your Diet

If you are interested in hearing more about the membership, join me January 5th at 7:00 pm on a Zoom call and learn what is beyond your diet for you.

Be mindful of the ads and social media that will entice you to go on a diet in the coming weeks as we head towards the new year.

Rather than focusing on what your eating, start noticing why you are eating. See what you learn about yourself ❤️

Do you recognize any of these signs? Are you ready to try an new approach to weight loss?

I invite you to join my private Facebook group so you can begin to learn about Eating Psychology & mind-body Nutrition weight loss strategies. No restrictive diets, no supplements or crazy workout plans. It's all about developing your awareness of how your mind works, how your mind and body are connected & strengthening your coping abilities to manage the stresses of life without using food.

Do you notice that you develop a goal & then find yourself not following through with it?

Making excuses, that when said aloud, sound kinda silly?

Well, it turns out, there is a scientific reason for that.

And I will be teaching the science of self sabotage in my new online group membership program:

"Life Beyond Your Diet" starts September 13th!
