As you discover how your emotional tendencies were defined while you were dependent on others for survival and sustenance it becomes possible to detect where you unconsciously recycle aspects of that relationship with your self creating the basis for struggle, compulsive eating, food restriction, dismissal, and other traits that continue to ensure your inability to give your self what you need to achieve balance and vitality. By restructuring the foundation of how you care for your basic needs you will be inspired to consciously choose the loving support you desire throughout your healing and recovery process. With supportive foundation it becomes possible to then reunite with the spiritual meaning and celebration of food, to feel your response to the food-mood connection, to prevent or reverse physical illness, and to experience the freedom and vitality of a life empowered and well cared for.

1) Nutrition Counseling Group - Re-Parenting Your Basic Needs. This group explores the relationship one has with meeting and caring for one's basic physical and emotional needs. Within the addictive relationship to self are elements of suppression, dismissal and punishment of primary needs. The way we take action to care for our need for food, water, exercise, loving touch, and sleep, reflect both how we learned and were modeled nurturing and what we currently feel we deserve. This group explores and teaches one how to take loving action for self and helps the client to create a free relationship to their needs, providing a foundation for continual recovery. This group is open to everyone and is required for those with food cravings, anorexia, bulimia, compulsive overeating, and subclinical eating disorders (SED's) such as obsessions about food.
