Three Pillars of Weight Loss Nutrition Mindful Eating - Wholesome Food Mindful eating can transform your relationship with food. Food becomes fuel for an energetic body and happy life. An unprocessed foods diet can provide immediate structure to your eating with minimal effort. With such a plan, you transition off of addictive processed foods and onto wholesome, fresh foods. This can help with motivation as you experience weight loss without feeling hungry or deprived. We help you experience a way of eating that does not involve deprivation and restriction, but honors the needs of your body and mind. We help you transform your relationship with food by experiencing how satisfying -- and easy -- it can be to eat nourishing foods. Methods to transform your diet include grocery store tours, meal prep consultation and meal delivery services. Lifestyle Counseling Groups & Individual Sessions The research is clear: weight loss is a lifestyle issue. “Diets” are a thing of the past. The most effective way to transform your lifestyle is through the practice of mindfulness in a group or individual setting. Mindfulness helps you see cause and effect relationships, and undo mindless, automatic behavior. We offer supportive group counseling, or individual coaching to help you apply mindfulness to your daily life. Working with another human being who truly cares about your progress provides support, encouragement, problem-solving, and accountability. We focus on incremental and sustainable change, not simply short term results. Our methodology is highly individualized and targets emotional eating, a key cause of weight gain. When you work with us in a group or individual setting, you will learn how to replace a “dieting mindset” with a mindful, intuitive eating approach.
