Intuitive Eating Group Starts January 8th

Amy Gardner / November 11, 2024

Intuitive Eating offers freedom and flexibility in relation to food.  The ten principles of intuitive eating offer a road map to move away from restrictive plans and yo-yo diets so you can finally feel peace in your relationship with food and in your body.

Our next Intuitive Eating group co-facilitated by a licensed therapist and registered dietitian, starts in January.  Changing your relationship with food is HARD work. Doing it with others helps. Which is why we offer this group.

Here’s what a past participants have shared:

“Sam and Laura were amazing, I learned so much from this group and it completely changed how I look at food!” – AR, group participant

“This group is exactly what I needed and I really enjoyed all the discussion, being able to go out and apply the principles in the real world and then talk about it.  I also liked that we had an opportunity to eat together.” – JO, group participant

If you’re interested in joining others on the journey to finding food freedom in 2025, Laura and Sam invite you to join their group starting January 8th.  The group will meet every other week through March 19th offering guidance and education on Intuitive Eating principles, a safe space for processing and support and experiential opportunities (i.e. eating together, movement).

This group is for any adult age 30 and over who is ready to do some work on their relationship with food.  Individuals in eating disorder recovery are welcome provided they are at a stable point and open to this work.

This group is for you IF YOU:

1. Don’t trust your body to guide your food choices
2. Feel defeated over past failed diets/plans
3. Experience shame or guilt around food
4. Feel out of control with food
5. Are uncomfortable in situations around food
6. Have discomfort (physical/emotional) with your body
7. Feel isolated in your intuitive eating journey
8. Limit activities/ put life off because of your body
9. Feel preoccupied with food, weight and diet
10. Are over diets and done feeling this way!

About the Facilitators

Laura

Laura Foresta, RD, LDN is a registered dietitian with over 30 years of experience helping individuals heal their relationships with food and facilitating groups.  Laura grew up in an Italian American family where food was the focus of every gathering. Laura’s dirty little secret is she was a dietitian who couldn’t cook for many years. She has since learned to embrace her inner chef.  From her own experience, she knows it’s never too late to learn to prepare nourishing foods that taste delicious. She enjoys helping individuals find joy and freedom in their eating while exploring new foods and recipes.

Sam

Samantha Millette, LICSW is a social worker with extensive experience with eating disorders and disordered eating.  She’s led many groups in her time working at residential eating disorder programs.  Samantha is particularly drawn to the multi-disciplinary approach and passionate about helping her clients heal their relationship with food, body and selves.  As a fat provider, she hopes to provide space for clients to explore the impact of fat-phobia and diet culture messaging on self-worth and the role they play in an individual’s relationship with food and their body.
