encouraging practices

Practice loving kindness toward yourself and your body by changing the language you use with yourself.
Develop the ability to listen to your body’s cues regarding hunger. Learn to eat when you’re hungry, eat what it is you’re hungry for, and stop when you’re satisfied.
Develop nurturing self-care to alleviate fear related to food and other stressors.
As you identify triggers to emotional eating, become clearer in identifying your needs and practice asserting your needs in healthy ways.
Develop the ability to savor the food you eat and have gratitude for food as nourishing fuel for your body.

Client Comments:

"Kristen's warmth, intuition, and perspective helped me face and unravel some old stories about myself that had found their way into my relationships with others, myself, and food. Working with Kristen I gained compassion and gentleness for myself and my body. Slowly over time, I am beginning to feel a shift in my relationship with food. I listen more to my body's signals, I forgive myself, I feel more. I truly believe this is the way back to ourselves. And, Kristen is an amazing guide and support on this journey. Thank you!"
“Finding Kristen’s intuitive eating group felt like a miracle to me. I have been struggling on my own for years with my confused ideas about eating and my relationship to my body. Being part of this group has helped me to find my own voice. Being with others that have similar pains and hopes as me helped me to realize I am more normal than I believed. Kristen’s unending kindness and ability to see the best in people and circumstances made me feel instantly comfortable. I am excited to continue my journey with her help...”
