Rohit, Cynthia and Sarah draw on a collective 25 years’ of experience in psychotherapy, intuitive eating, nutrition and health behaviour coaching to offer you empowering, fresh perspectives on body image and teach you how to feel more at peace in your own body.

In today’s world, it can be very hard not to believe that we wouldn’t somehow be happier, more attractive, successful, or confident in a slimmer body. Saturated with messages from diet culture and the media about what bodies ‘should’ look like, it can feel like we are swimming upstream when it comes to positive body image. A preoccupation with how our bodies look can take up a lot of headspace, change our relationship to food, or get in the way of doing things that really matter to us.

This workshop is a unique opportunity to break away from the vicious cycle of low self-esteem, and to enhance your mental, emotional and physical wellbeing from a place of neutrality, compassion, intuition and nourishment.

What is included:

• Total 4-hours to benefit from a unique blend of leading-edge psycho-education, group coaching and discussion, nutritional expertise, reflective activities and tools that will last a lifetime. Plus Q&A time

• A small, supportive, unpressurised and confidential group (12 places max)

• A two part-programme. Part One will be held on 16th May and Part Two will be held on 23rd May, 2023. The commitment will be to attend both parts in order to experience the full benefits, as well as allowing time for trust to build within the group

• Two delicious, nourishing light suppers prepared by Café Desa, along with unlimited teas and infusions

These workshops are for you if:

• You’re not feeling at home in your body or confident in your own skin right now

• You’ve given too much time and energy to worrying about your body or appearance

• You struggle with eating habits such as feeling guilty about eating certain foods, chronic dieting or emotional eating

• You feel like your relationships with food and your body are holding you back from living an expansive, fulfilling life

• You want to feel more confident and healthier but you don't know how or where to start

• You want to learn practical skills and techniques to purposely bring a compassionate perspective to the way you judge yourself

• You have a body and are simply interested in learning empowering approaches to respect and nourish it!
  
  Who this isn’t for:

• These workshops may be unsuitable if you have an active diagnosis of an eating disorder as we may cover some gentle nutrition information. You may wish to discuss attendance with your clinician before booking on.

• These workshops will not be suitable if you are experiencing a mental health crisis - actively suicidal, going through psychotic episode or regularly using substances in a way that would impede their ability to engage with group process regularly, safely and effectively.
