Do you feel like food is in control? Do your food choices leave you feeling frustrated, ashamed, or angry?

Are you ready for a change? Mindful eating is a reset to your relationship with food.

In our reset group you’ll learn to make healthier food and lifestyle choices — and have support as you build these new habits — whether or not you feel like you need to lose weight.

It’s not about eating smaller portions. It’s about gaining a new way of eating, a new relationship with food…that works and lasts.

Making change isn’t easy. Having weekly support and companionship increases the chances of sticking with it!

No More Dieting

Mindful eating isn’t a diet, it’s a tool. If you want to lose weight and keep it off, mindful eating is essential.

If you’re not concerned about weight, but would like a better relationship with food, mindful eating can work for you too!

Mindful eating is about a new relationship with food. It’s getting off autopilot. It’s noticing what you’re eating and why. It’s about ending shame and frustration.

You’ll get a chance to practice strategies that lead to healthier choices and to building new habits — all with support from me and the group.

You Don’t Have To Do It Alone

Lean into the support of a group of women struggling with the same problems. The groups will be small, so that you know you aren’t alone, but you aren’t overwhelmed either. It’s a chance to share and learn from each other — and sometimes our biggest light bulb moments came from sharing our own experience with others.

We won’t just talk about struggles. We’ll celebrate wins too! It’s easy to get bogged down in our mistakes or what’s not working. Taking time to celebrate wins helps cement them and builds momentum moving forward. Let’s cheer each other on. Group coaching offers community support and expert guidance for a price much lower than 1:1 coaching. It’s a great way to try out coaching.

Let’s get started!

How The Group Works

We’ll meet weekly from the 2nd week in September through the third week in December. You can choose the group that best fits your schedule, Tuesday evenings 7:30-8:30 pm EST or Wednesday mornings 10:00 – 11:00 am EST. Tuesday group starts September 12th and Wednesday on September 13th.

My goal is to create a safe space for participants to share, bond with each other and create a supportive community. You’ll choose a day or evening when you register, and you’ll always be with the same group of people.

Here’s What We’ll Cover

• Mindfulness, mindful eating, self-compassion
• The basics of habit change and how to set goals that will work for you
• How to make healthy food choices, what processed food is, reading labels with new eyes
• Why calorie density is more effective than portion control
• Putting it all together, how to live a healthy lifestyle

You’ll have lots of time for questions and support.

My unique perspective

I’ve had my own life-long struggle with food. I spent the past 12 years searching for an answer. What I found was far more complex than going on a diet or exercising daily or practicing portion control. By understanding how the addictive process was working inside me and by applying the mindfulness that I’d been practicing for years, I was able to stop overeating, lose weight and keep it off.

If you want to be in control of what and how much you eat, then you’re invited to join us.

FAQs

Is this a weight loss group?
Not exactly. In our 4 months together we’ll work at changing our relationship to food and to ourselves and to making healthier lifestyle choices. Weight loss often results but it won’t be the major focus.

Will our group sessions be recorded?
No. It’s understood that not everybody can make every meeting. But in order to make this a safe space, everything will be confidential and the sessions won’t be recorded.

If I can’t make a session will I be able to make it up on the other group?
You choose the group that best fits your schedule and stick with it. In order to be part of a safe community the same people will be part of the group every week.

What if I’m no longer able to attend?
You can leave if you’re no longer able to attend or if you decide the group isn’t right for you. Just send me an email and I’ll cancel your subscription at the end of the month in which you make the request.

Do I need meditation experience?
No. All levels of meditation experience can benefit. We’ll begin each week with some meditation instruction. There are many styles of meditation and we’ll expriment with several different methods so you can find the one(s) that most resonate with you.

Are you tired of overeating? Do you often feel like the food is in control?

This course is for anyone who’s food choices often lead to feelings of frustration, shame or anger — regardless of whether or not you feel like you need to lose weight.

Eating is pleasurable, if it wasn’t we wouldn’t be here. We have more pleasurable food available to us than ever before. And it’s killing us.

This program will give you the tools and information you need to take control of your food choices.

You’ll gain insight into the many factors that influence food choices, from you as an individual to the systemic/cultural reasons.

In addition, we’ll focus on finding ways to avoid eating more than we intended and introduce some science-backed habit change strategies.

First, we’ll address the problem

• The basic neuroscience of how food interacts with the pleasure centers of our brains
• How the foods we eat influence dopamine production and why it drives us to eat more than we want
• Why food that’s bad for you tastes so good
• How food companies manipulate us to eat more than we want
• Why diets, moderation and portion control don’t work in the long-term

Then we’ll look at a solution

• The science of habit change
• How a mindfulness practice can help you take control of your food choices
• The basics of mindfulness: How to get started
• Incorporating a mindfulness practice into daily life and eating habits
• Eating guidelines that make sense

What Past Participants Have Said

A brief but comprehensive introduction to mindful eating – A good way to get started.

Lori C.  Massachusetts

Karen presented strategies during her course that were very practical and easy to apply. She also provides a wealth of evidence based material to support the lectures.  I am looking forward to making the suggested changes to slowly but effectively break the cycle of food addiction.

Margarita M.  Massachusetts

Karen’s understanding of what really works for weight management and her approach that honors each person’s unique journey makes her the perfect coach for those who want to finally break free from being controlled by food.
