This Food Addiction Recovery program will give you the gift of Food Serenity.
3-Month Program
You can attend the support meetings live on Zoom. Each week an inspiring and instructional video will arrive in your inbox, complete with resource links and action steps.
Food Serenity is returning to a place where food is consumed for nourishment, energy and caring for your body. No longer using food to achieve a feeling, (numbing out, love, stress relief, “getting high”) but rather using food for its rightful purpose. This will reward you with a healthy body size. No longer fearing food or fighting food, you will get to a place where you're safe and neutral with food and the mind chatter is gone forever!
PROGRAM COST - $497 + HST
This is a 3-month program with 8 instructional videos and weekly support meetings, and a private Facebook group for creating friendships and connection.
You can attend the support meetings live on Zoom. Each week an inspiring and instructional video will arrive in your inbox, complete with resource links and action steps.
Knowledge + Action = Lasting change
The support meetings are key to creating lasting change.
“In 6 weeks I have changed so much and I feel that I am a stronger, healthier, and more focussed person. I have been sugar, wheat and ultra processed food free for 35 days! I must admit that I checked my weight - I have lost 16 pounds!”
