What we’ll focus on within the 5 step Mindful Shape Process:

You’ll learn: 2 principles, 9 frameworks, 6 exercises and 10 practical tools to reduce overdesire so you stop turning to food to cope with stress,  quickly get back on track after overindulging and push through every plateau.

Activate Desire

 
First you’ll get clear on what you TRULY want and learn how to infuse that goal with desire so it doesn’t feel like another “should” in your life but fills you with aliveness.

If it’s a drag the whole time, what’s the point? You’ll learn how to make this interesting and even fun.

Strategize for Metabolic Flexibility

Learn a personalized  decision-making framework for eating only when you’re physically hungry, stopping at “enough” and choosing foods that serve you to become fat adapted and metabolically flexible.

This means you’ll have more energy, less cravings, burn body fat, be less hungry, feel satiated with less on your plate and you don’t gain the weight back the minute you indulge.

Take Aligned Action to Handling Cravings and Urges to Overeat & Over drink

Become a take-it-or-leave-it person with sugar, flour and alcohol by learning the  five 1 Minute Mindfulness mindset and embodiment tools to stay the course even when the chips, wine or cookies are calling your name.

You’ll get out of the clean plate club, put the fork down even when the food is delicious, think at your highest level and move on with your day.

Alchemize Emotion to Lower an Overdesire for Food

When you don’t want more food or alcohol than your body needs, you truly can eat and drink whatever you want.

I’ll help you match your level of desire for food and alcohol to your desired weight, you’re able to follow any eating plan you want.

Expand Capacity to Shift Into the Next Version of Yourself

If you’ve been struggling with food and body issues for years, this is an opportunity to completely transform how you think about yourself, your body and what food and alcohol is doing for you. 

Instead of relying on motivation that comes and goes, you’ll simply be the person who eats well because it’s who you are.

When you expand your current cognitive and emotional capacity; your ability to direct your thinking and process every emotion, eating to nourish and strengthen your body is natural.

What’s the difference between this and other weight loss or self improvement programs?

It’s not a matter of IF you need to do the mental and emotional work to maintain your weight loss results, but when.

Like diets, there’s ZERO shame in taking GLP-1s which are highly effective while you're taking them - the problem is that stopping them leads to weight re-gain because although the external has changed, the reasons for why you gained weight in the first place are still there.

Meta-analysis has found that people taking GLP-1s  regain 60% of the weight they’ve lost within one year of stopping them and eventually regain up to 75%.

This means if someone released 50 pounds on a GLP-1:

• At 1 year after stopping, they are expected to still be down 20 pounds (40%).
• Over time they are expected to regain  38 pounds (76%) and maintain 12 pounds (24%) of their original loss.

But there is GOOD news! Those who DID keep the weight off transitioned to other obesity treatments or lifestyle programs like therapy. 

For many of us who have been turning to food over the years, another diet, meal plan or GLP-1 can be a great booster, but isn’t going to cut it for the long run.

This program is here to rewire you at the root so you can change what seems unchangeable, for good!

Okay so pause, breathe, and check in, do you feel the call to expand into the next version of yourself?

If so, this is for you. 

This is the supportive environment you didn’t even know you needed.

While doing this program you will:

• Understand the deeper reasons you’re not at your desired weight (it’s not your lack of self-discipline!)
• Stop overeating and overdrinking
• Move toward your desired weight without cravings and thinking about food all the time.
• Be inside a focussed group of women who are all going through the same process; you’ll regularly be inspired and encouraged 

This is about addressing both your physiology AND your psychology so this isn’t something you’re doing for weeks or months only to have to figure out something else afterward. 

You’ll get practical steps to eat right and feel in charge with food plus be doing the deeper mindset and emotional reprogramming because external changes are created from your inner world.

This is the most important work you can do because no matter how effective your food plan is, you will never go further than what you're directly capable of believing, feeling and doing over the long term.

Your Guide

Let me tell you a little about me and how I got here. 

Many years ago I hired a life coach (this was when it was still pretty obscure and weird unless you were Madonna). Think going to therapy in the 80’s.

Anyway, it really helped me understand myself and started me on a path of repairing the low fat dieting/body image damage that was the late 90’s/early 2000’s. 

Then I spent a small fortune on coach training and certifications and have spent the last decade helping other women who got off course with food and their weight and want to feel good in their bodies.

My work is here to help you transform; to make any change that seems unchangeable to you. Because it’s not whether the transformation is happening — it is. You are reborn every single day. Instead of struggling against it, I’m here to help you understand it and to learn to work with it.

My methods are based on cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), neuroscience, embodiment coaching (somatics), with a dash of shadow work and ancient wisdom. 

I live in a majestic part of the world called Victoria on Vancouver Island, Canada with my husband and two little kids.
