The title of this blog is the title of a 10-week program I’ll be co-facilitating September 15 – November 17, 2011, 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
A little background on how this program came to be. . .
I specialize in working with women age 40 plus. So many of my clients have learned, somewhere along their life’s journey, to use food as a coping mechanism for uncomfortable feelings, emotions and situations. They “stuff” their feelings, numb themselves with food, procrastinate or disengage with a food diversion or obsession – all the while thinking, “If I could just lose weight, my life would be on track”.
So they call my nutrition therapy practice looking for help in losing weight. It doesn’t take long before I tease out the true issues.
Being overweight is a SYMPTOM of what’s burbling beneath the surface. Staying on the same destructive path of eating, gaining weight, dieting, failing the diet, eating, gaining weight, dieting, failing the diet doesn’t resolve anything.
A couple of years ago I was fortunate to meet a wonderful therapist, Katherine Walker. We’ve since worked together referring clients back and forth, collaborating in our efforts to move clients toward a place of healing. Out of this work came the idea to develop a program that draws on both of our strengths.
If you suspect that you may be struggling with these same issues and are looking for a safe, supportive, nurturing environment in which to explore this scary place – click below for more information.

There are still spaces available. We would love to have you join us to experience the power of group support, guided self-exploration, and a safe exit off that destructive path.
