Rediscover Eating Workshops

"Rediscover Eating" is a three hour workshop designed by Kay Abrams in 1995. It is not a diet program! There is no "quick fix" in this program, which impacts the psychology and physiology of disordered eating behaviors and accompanying weight problems. Individuals realize the power of a self-nurturing approach to body image, food, and weight.

Affordable Workshops and Support Groups Involve:

• Journaling to discover triggers that lead to eating.
• No more "shoulds."
• No more rules.
• No more "all or nothing" thinking.
• Support groups to maintain new mentality and regulated metabolism.

Please contact us if you might be interested in taking the workshop.
