To help you build a healthy relationship with food and your body

During this 5 series workshops, we will teach you the 10 principles of intuitive eating: namely how to listen to your hunger and fullness cues, how to respect and accept your body, how to focus on the pleasure of eating without having to endure restrictions and therefore attain your true natural weight.

Each workshop lasts about 1.5 hours with 4-5 people per group. This type of workshop offers you a chance to share your struggles with food and we will provide you with a supporting, non-judgmental environment where you will be given the tools to establish a better relationship with food.
