Remember, there was a point that love and trust was flowing through the body, and hunger and satiation were natural and instinctual. The work is removing the constraints that now get in the way of accessing these things. Read more here:

How does a woman define what a "good" relationship with food is? And how does she measure whether or not she's arrived there? Generally, women are aware of when they don't have a great relationship with food because they might have obvious struggles (or more subtle struggles), like chronic overeatin...

It's frustrating. You sit down to have something of a sensible dinner, and next thing you know, you find yourself reaching for seconds your meal, and grazing on treats through the evening, even though you're not hungry. Or you perhaps you successfully eat your sensible dinner, then at some point in....

I’ve gotten so many ads for Equip protein powder. I gave it a go and used the cookies and cream flavor. It works pretty well like this!

To me, Ayurveda (the nutritional branch of the Vedic sciences) falls under the category of "the poetics of nutrition," as it feels less sterile and clinical than mainstream nutrition today and honors the body's place in the Natural Order of things. In our study and practice we learn how to resolve imbalances and celebrate the gifts of one's natural constitution. I'm teaching an Ayurveda module this weekend for a local yoga teachers training, and love the feel-good, life-affirming approach Ayurveda brings.

Remember Spring foods to add in: Heating spices, bitter greens, berries, astringent foods like asparagus and turmeric, and plenty of water.

Here are some of the spiritual themes that I've observed over the last 17+ years working with clients in the realm of eating psychology:

✨Our unwanted eating habits are teachers

✨Practicing good nutrition will confront you with any low-grade resentment you have about having a body that has needs

✨Loving energy will transform your eating. Shaming energy will not.

✨No amount of change you make with your body or eating will "make you" love yourself more. Embody the end result now (feeling worthy of love) and treat yourself as a person worthy of care and dignity.

✨There's a whole sacred chemistry that gets ignited in the body through self-love, compassion, surrender, forgiveness.

✨The deepest work with body will take you into the body and beyond it (you can't skip the first)

✨Grief may come up as the body changes. These changes give opportunity to develop your depth and your character. Witnessing consciousness also arises from this place.

I’ve been working with women in private practice since 2009 and have been closely tracking the most helpful interventions that create long-term healing and change when it comes to eating. I’ve organized the key principles of what I’ve learned over the years as a nutritionist, health coach, therapist, and healer into a user-friendly, content-rich program to help you heal your painful eating habits and feel much calmer and more confident about your eating, diet, and body.
