Do you:

Believe that you are unhealthy because you are “overweight”?
Eat primarily for health and/or weight maintenance—rarely for pleasure?
Exercise mainly to lose weight?
Eat foods you love until they make you sick?
Deny yourself joys in life because of your weight?
Tell yourself: “I don’t deserve to eat” or “I can’t trust myself around food”?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, Intuitive Eating Coaching can help!

What Is Intuitive Eating?
Intuitive Eating is based on the premise that we are each born with all the wisdom that is necessary to create healthy relationships with food and with our bodies—wisdom that may be buried under years of exposure to cultural and familial values about food, diets, and size.
This revolutionary approach to eating was developed by Registered Dietitian Nutritionists, Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch. Since their landmark book (currently in its third edition) was first published in 1995, multiple studies have correlated Intuitive Eating practices with a reduction in disordered eating, an increase in positive body image, and greater emotional functioning.
