The Institute is here to fill an important need: to take Eating Psychology out from the exclusive realm of academia and into the streets where everyone can receive its benefits…
There’s a huge demand in America for effective and compassionate coaching when it comes to food, weight, and body image. Not everyone has an eating disorder – but everyone has a relationship with food. And so many people live with the kind of internal dissatisfaction around their body and health that has them draining emotional energy and wasting time with ineffective strategies that never truly take them where they want to go.
Just look around and you’ll see that the most common approach to weight loss - eating less and exercising more – doesn’t work. If it did, it would have done so long ago. The issue of losing weight is rich, complex and deep - and ultimately holds different mysteries and answers for everyone. At the same time, there’s a great collective pain around what to eat and how much to eat. People fight food, fight pleasure, fight their instincts and desires, fight body fat – and because it’s a battle against our own self – it’s one we are destined to lose.
Clearly, there’s an immense amount of pain around eating. Media images about what a body should look like has all too many of us chasing impossible standards of perfection. Nutrition pundits and experts are continuously contradicting each other and leaving everyone confused. We are overloaded with information, but undernourished when it comes to wisdom.
It’s time for a change.
The Institute offers an education in Dynamic Eating Psychology and Mind Body Nutrition that addresses what people are hungering for. We teach a clear, contemporary, compassionate approach where people are truly listened to. We are concerned not just with healing bodies, but hearts and minds as well. Previously, if you wanted to learn about eating psychology you’d need to spend years at a traditional university at great expense - and still not come away with practical skills to work with the real-life challenges that people face with eating. The Institute’s mission is to make a difference where it counts.
We have a tremendous opportunity before us – to serve others in ways that they haven’t been served before. We can help people free themselves from limitations and outdated beliefs. We can guide them into strategies with their bodies that truly work. And we can cheerlead them into a more inspired relationship with food, and with life.
