Dieting culture is pervasive. What it teaches, is problematic. Those that have tried it again and again, end up with a predictable set of behaviours and attitudes about food and their bodies. If the following list describes you, you may be one of them:
​
-
It seems as if I am always on diet
-
I lose weight, only to gain it again
-
I am preoccupied with the desire to be thinner
-
I feel guilty when I eat “illegal” foods
-
I have a closet full of clothes in different sizes
-
I have lost touch with my natural hunger signals
-
I fluctuate between periods of sensible, nutritious eating and out of control eating
-
I think about burning kilojoules when I exercise
-
I am at war with my body
​
My Philosophy
Yes… but so what? you may think. Isn’t everyone like that? Following a healthy diet is hard work, right?
I have good news. You do not have to be at war with your body to be healthy.
​
There is another way!
There is a way of peace.
A way of freedom.

Finding it, is like taking off a scratchy, too tight shirt and putting on a soft gown instead. It is like turning off the angle grinder that is blaring in the background and hearing silence. Like putting down a bag of heavy stones that was attached to your back and walking upright and light footed again.
