We're dedicated to...

helping people around the world see the hidden wisdom in their food & body challenges, and learn how to use that wisdom to transform the way they eat, think, and live.

Because struggling with an eating challenge isn't a sign of failure - even though it can sometimes feel that way.

It's a sign of being a human being who's navigating a complicated, modern world.

If you open up to what food and body challenges are trying to teach you, they can ultimately serve as a pathway to your best life.

Here's what we'd love you to know

Life today is richer and more challenging than ever before, which can cause more pressure, stress, and overwhelm - affecting every area of life, including our relationship with food.

IPE - TYRWF Sales Page Build-14

Food and body challenges can have multiple causes, whether rooted in our biology, psychology, emotions, or spirituality.

Regardless of their cause, eating concerns are an opportunity to grow and transform.

Every eating challenge has a hidden message of wisdom.

Therefore, you deserve an approach to healing your eating concerns that celebrates and honors your uniqueness.

Life gets good when you decide it is - not when you reach your “ideal weight” or “ideal body” or have the “perfect” eating style.

Your new relationship with food and body starts NOW.

All of our life domains can impact our relationship with food.

As you become the person you’re meant to be, your relationship with food and body will naturally arrive at a place of freedom and peace.

Our natural physiology wasn’t designed to live in a state of such heightened stress, but here we are: as messy, human, and complex ... as we are beautiful, awe-inspiring, and magnificent.

Let’s talk about

the problem facing

eaters everywhere:

The problem is NOT:

That you’re a willpower weakling

Instead, the problem IS:

Misunderstanding why eating challenges are here and what they’re really all about

That you just need to
be more accountable

An overreliance on diet and nutrition to cure food and body challenges

That you’re broken

Self-attack and self-blame

That you simply haven’t found
the perfect diet

Weight hate

That you simply need to exercise more

Conditioning from the media that says you need to have the perfect body

That you need to keep eating less and less food

Isolating food and body challenges from the rest of your life

That you don’t have enough nutrition information

Lack of self-love

That you’re lazy, unworthy, or imperfect

Not tending to the parts of your inner and outer worlds that need care

So let’s take a
different approach -

One filled with self-compassion, self-love, self-acceptance and self-trust.

What if we understood the biological, psychological, emotional, and spiritual reasons for our eating challenges, and worked to tend to those places inside ourselves in need of care?

What if we could relax, open our minds, and offer ourselves support and kind thoughts?

and we’re on a mission to make it happen by:

❤️ Sharing our holistic understanding of what eating challenges really represent: a doorway into our hearts, minds, and souls

✨ Inspiring you to see the beauty, goodness, worthiness, and inherent potential in yourself as a human being

🔥 Exploring the biological, psychological, emotional, and spiritual purpose of food and body challenges, and catalyzing real, lasting transformation

💭 Bringing Eating Psychology to the table and retraining your thoughts, beliefs, and feelings about food and body, alongside all other aspects of your life

🔦 Helping people develop the courage to go into their dark places, and ultimately find the light waiting on the other side

🌎 Training coaches in Eating Psychology and Mind Body Nutrition so our mission can be spread around the world

Here’s what we believe:

Asset 35

You can: Choose to feel good about your body, nourish yourself with good food, and create the life you want.
