So many people believe they need fixing.

They don’t. There’s nothing wrong at all with who they are. They just need a bit of strength and confidence. How do you do that? Get Curious of course!

 

It is your responsibility

Sh**t happens. Sometimes life can really suck. People suck.

Rise Above

People come to me because they are indulging in unwanted behaviors around food. The first thing I ask them is Who taught you how to eat this way?

See,  what most people don’t realize is that somewhere along the way they were coping with something. They reached for that one thing that offered them pleasure – or control – in an otherwise sh**ty moment. It’s not your fault.

Now that you recognize you don’t like this part of you – you can change it. But with everything, as you learn something new – patience, support, guidance, exploration, and time are all necessary. So if you are ready to embrace a change, around an unwanted food behavior or habit – contact me. Let’s get curious together.

My Summer Workshop Series Returns

SWS generic

Tuesdays 7pm

May 8th through June 26th

at Nourishing Journey

8975 Guilford Road, Columbia MD

 

For the Summer Workshop Series, we will read and discuss The Slow Down Diet by Marc David.  Marc David is the founder of The Institute for the Psychology of Eating. This book is read in groups around the world, and facilitated the discussion for a new approach to Nutrition and weight loss.

This series opens the door to exploring and understanding your own personal relationship with food – with the gift of support, and led by Lisa Karasek, CEPC.

“If you’ve ever struggled with finding a way to a deep, happy, and healthy connection with your body and food, The Slow Down Diet is your bible.” – Mark Hyman, M.D.

Because Everyone Deserves A Healthy Relationship with Food

Tension Release Exercises

TRElogo-1

 

You are invited to participate in an innovative way to release tension and stress from your body.

 

TRE® is a series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma (physical and emotional). Created by Dr. David Berceli TRE® safely activates your natural reflexive mechanism by way of neurophysiological rebalancing.

Individuals and communities around the world feel the benefits

of this modality for healing.

 

The most commonly reported benefits from TRE® : decreased anxiety, the release of chronic tension, the discharge of emotional and physical trauma, improved sleep, mood and digestion, decreased aches and pains, improved flexibility, and the decrease in symptoms for sciatica, fibromyalgia, and other chronic conditions.

 

* Please wear comfortable clothing you can stretch in (ie- yoga clothing). Bring your own yoga mat (and a blanket if you desire).

 

I am student teaching toward my certification for TRE®. Classes will be held at Nourishing Journey Wellness Center – 8975 Guilford Road in Columbia MD. 21046

Group classes will begin in May and will be held on Sundays at 2:30 pm.

Please Register at Nourishing-Journey.com.

 

Children are welcome – age 6 is a minimum age for participation.

Why children? TRE® helps with emotional anxiety, physical growth, focus, mood, and cognitive development.

The Awakenings Project

The goal of the project is the empowerment of women, girls, and woman indentifying through body positivity and self-actualization. Participants are asked to think of a word that best describes them. From that word, the participants are charged to embody its power through its placement on the body and the subsequent photo.

The result being the mantra of the project,
“Society does not define us, we define ourselves.”
