WHAT IS IT?
The first of its kind, grounded in the polyvagal theory and based on the evidenced-based practices of interoceptive awareness, self-compassion and mindfulness, this somatic program offers you a new approach to recovery and healing your relationship with your body and food.
This program is a unique psycho-educational program where we will explore embodiment through the lenses of neuroscience and nervous system regulation to help you develop a new respectful and trusting relationship with your body, food and self for integrated and lasting healing and freedom.

8 weeks
2 hours per week
small group

Each week, you will join me and other participants on Zoom, where I will teach you the primary principles of each phase of recovery and a new view along with guided practices and self-reflections to build the necessary skills in each phase to move you forward in your self-discovery, and your relationship with your body and food.
​
​
Through learning the necessary skills of embodiment and self-compassion, you get:
-
Better emotional regulation, including of the tough emotions that block recovery and keep you stuck such as shame, anxiety and fear
-
Greater self-discovery and awareness
-
Understanding of the internal workings of your body and nervous system
-
Awareness of how self-compassion soothes the toughest moments and keeps you moving forward

"I loved the workshops. I loved your energy and enthusiasm. You are so so good at explaining concepts and theories."
"It was so well presented, lots of great information and your knowledge and compassion as well as your passion shone through it all. So much resonated and added more layers to the work I have done before."
"You present things with such great humor, which makes it "fun" to do the hard work. That is outstanding! I love the way you explain things."

More information
This program was developed through Ann’s doctoral research, the writing of her book, a pilot study on the program, and over 30 years of her clinical knowledge working with those struggling with disordered eating and body image issues.
​
I am so excited to help bring this new integrated form of recovery out into the world. The skills you will learn can be integrated alongside any other recovery program you may be doing. You will learn to never leave your body or self behind again!
