time to eat
a mindful eating series to soothe eating and body challenges
through slowing down with our experience of food
why eat mindfully?
so many of our food and body challenges are a direct result of eating too fast. our bodies love it when we slow down, savour and enjoy the entire experience of eating - no matter what we are eating. we were designed for it, our emotional, physical and mental wellbeing depends on it, but many of us have ventured far from this way of being with food.
how does it help?
from calming ongoing and persistent digestive struggles, to soothing disordered eating patterns, to
better recognizing full + hunger cues, to experiencing
more pleasure in food, the benefits are noticeable, individual and often transformative.
