Hello and a warm welcome to the Mindful Eating Course!

This course will teach you how to use mindfulness-based skills to give you a more healthy, enjoyable, and empowering relationship with both food and with your body.

Maybe you’ve arrived here because you’ve tried dieting and ended up feeling frustrated or too restricted. Or perhaps you’re feeling confused about conflicting messages about how you’re supposed to eat. Or maybe you’d just like to try bringing more awareness into your relationship with food as an aspect of mindful living. 

Whatever brings you here, this course can help you bring more awareness to the thoughts, impulses, sensations, and emotions that drive your food choices. 

Research shows that when people eat more mindfully, there’s a reduction in binge eating, emotional eating, overeating, and eating in response to external triggers like advertising. 

Mindful eating, though, is not a diet or an attempt for you to change, fix, or improve yourself. 

Instead, it’s a journey into discovering how to be more connected with yourself, and how to nourish yourself in a sustained and balanced way so that you feel better in body and mind. 

Ultimately, this course is all about cultivating a more intentional way of eating, a greater sense of satisfaction and appreciation with food, and a more positive way of relating to your body and its cues.  

From this place of awareness, you’ll also learn how to bring the principles of mindful eating into other aspects of your daily life. 

Mindful eating is a powerful practice with many benefits and we can’t wait to share this course with you. See you on the journey!
