Supported Meal Groups
Supported meal groups are designed for anyone caught in rigid eating patterns that steal away the joy of sharing meals with friends, family, and partners. Join a circle of wonderful individuals just like you, all eager to break themselves free from the cage of diet culture. Together, we'll savor the flavors of connection, pleasure, and inspiration. I'll be right there with you, ready to empower you to take charge of your journey and embrace the joy and delight life has to offer!
Break out of Rigid Eating
Diet culture encourages us to obsess over what we eat. It started with low fat, then low sugar, followed by no carbs and no processed foods—the list keeps growing. As our fears mount, the diet industry profits while we sacrifice our money, time, and relationships in the quest for “perfect eating.” The truth is, much of the information about “healthy eating” is misleading or greatly overstates the impact of dietary changes on our health and wellness. In our efforts to eat better or lose weight, we often end up feeling more out of control with food, and our emotional wellbeing suffers. In our meal support groups, I encourage members to listen to their best resource—their own bodies.
Connect and Share
We are strongest together. The shame and anxiety surrounding food and our bodies thrive in isolation. Joining this group represents a significant step towards breaking free from the ongoing pressures of diet culture. My hope is to remind you that you are not alone; you have not failed at changing your diet—we have been let down by the diet industry. By sharing your experiences with others, you'll discover that you are not alone in your struggles. In this supportive group setting, you can face your food fears alongside others who understand what you’re going through.
See Meal Supports in a New Light
As both a participant and facilitator of numerous meal support sessions, I have often felt that the sterile environment detracts from the overall experience. My aim is to transform this setting into one that feels warm and inviting, enriching the process of sharing a meal together. Eating is about so much more than just trying new foods; it encompasses the joy of a beautiful atmosphere, the artistry of culinary creativity, and the warmth of dining with friends.
These meal supports offer a unique opportunity that inspires you to see your local food scene through a fresh perspective. Together, we can celebrate the vibrant experience of sharing a meal, turning it into a journey of discovery and connection. Join us in creating moments that resonate and inspire a deeper appreciation for what dining truly means!
