Embodied is for me if:
-
I'm looking for a community of people who understand what it's like to struggle with body image, disordered eating, or chronic dieting
-
I'm struggling to accept myself and feel overwhelmed with body conscious thoughts
-
I like the idea of combining talking about my issues with doing therapeutic activities as well
-
I'm motivated to make changes and I'm looking for some intensive support
-
I'm struggling with disordered eating and/or chronic dieting and I want to make 2019 the year that I break free
What is Embodied?
It is a series of 5 intensive workshops (once a month for 5 months) that will help you heal your body image & relationship with food.
