In this live online course & in-person experiential we will cover...

Module 1:
Create an environment of safety

Creating an environment of safety, containment and empowerment is essential in the healing process. Step into a nurturing space designed to accelerate your healing journey and break free from compulsive relationships with food

Module 2:
Map your nervous system: Introduction to Polyvagal theory

Polyvagal Theory offers a way to understand the human autonomic nervous system and directly engage with our habitual patterns of response. Using a polyvagal perspective, we can bring an open heart to exploring the "ways and whys" of our daily experience with food. Profile your own nervous system to gain a deeper understanding of your body and the triggers and glimmers. Learn the importance of resourcing, titration & pendulation in this process

Module 3:
Understanding Your Window of Tolerance for Eating & Attachment Blueprint

Gain insights into how your nervous system influences your relationship with food and learn to identify your personal Window of Tolerance. Learn how to get out of the extremes. Your attachment patterns are hidden inclinations from your childhood that inform automatic behaviors with food. Learn the importance of how current relationships, romantic, familial and platonic, in our lives can be sources of attachment triggers. Without knowing and breaking your attachment patterns, you will default back to responses that will keep you stuck & will prevent your success with having a healthy relationship with food.

Module 4:
What parts are stopping your healing with food and body image: Introduction to internal family systems

Using Internal Family Systems, an evidence-based parts therapy, and Shadow Work, to get to know your own parts that are stopping you from healing and what wound is stopping you living as your true self. Learn why they are keeping you stuck with food and then unburden them and integrate them into your true self.

Module 5:
Toxicity in Wellness & Diet Culture, Deconstructing Oppressive Systems as it relates to our food relationship

Examine the often unrealistic and harmful standards perpetuated by wellness trends. Uncover the toxicity embedded in dieting and its detrimental effects on body image and self-esteem. Investigate how patriarchal structures shape traditional roles, expectations, and narratives around food. Explore how societal expectations contribute to body image issues. Analyze the influence of media, advertising, and cultural norms on the perception of an "ideal" body.

Module 6:
As above, So below: Preparation for Sacred Plant Medicine

Delve into emotional preparedness for the plant medicine journey. Explore your intentions, fears, and expectations, fostering a grounded emotional state as you approach the retreat. Start to include foods that will nourish the body for the experience

Module 7:
What to expect: Continue preparation for the Sacred Plant Medicine retreat

Understand the logistical details of the retreat, including location, food, accommodations, and safety protocols. Feel confident and informed about the physical aspects of the experience.

Module 8:
The shadow and the light: Sacred Plant Medicine Retreat & Experiential

You will be immersed in 2 nights of Ayahuasca tailored to the intentions of cultivating food freedom and healing body image, delving into the depths of your psyche to heal the shadows and illuminate the path toward food freedom and body acceptance. Experience the expansiveness of 1 Huachuma ceremony focusing on heart-centered awareness. Explore the connection between body and spirit, fostering self-love, and embracing the light within for a harmonious relationship with food and body image

Module 9:

What if I Can’t "Trust" My Body: Exploring the Relationship Between Neurodivergent Individuals, Interoception and Body Image

Recognize and address the unique barriers neurodivergent individuals may face in trusting their bodies. Understand how neurodivergent individuals experience interoception— the awareness of internal bodily sensations. Explore the diversity of sensory experiences and how they shape one's relationship with the body. Delve into the challenges and strengths associated with sensory processing differences. Explore personalized strategies to foster a sense of safety and reliability in bodily sensations.

Module 12:
Food Freedom: Reflection on personal growth throughout the course

Here we will acknowledge the importance of trauma work while understanding its limitations. Exploring the broader spectrum of healing that encompasses mental, emotional, and physical well-being is important to address.
Celebrate the culmination of your transformative journey in this empowering module, dedicated to reflecting on your personal growth and the evolution of your relationship with food.
