We start on November 4th and will be together for 11 weeks, learning how to create a safe, secure, and satiating relationship with your food and body. There will be one live call each week to learn the tools of Somatic Eating™ and space to ask every question you could have about what's currently going on with food for you to receive support with whatever you're navigating. I will be there for you every step of the way through the holidays, a time of the year where so much can arise emotionally.
