WORDS FROM PAST PARTICIPANTS:

“Over time my body needs have changed and I can no longer physically and emotionally tolerate putting junk into my body. With Cindy's help, I have been able to tackle my food demons. She is brilliant, fun, incredibly thoughtful and really understands what I have needed in this phase of my food journey. Batch cooking, mindfulness exercises and real food treats have all been integrated into my life with smashing success! I have dreamed for so long about being the eater I have become and will be forever grateful.” - Nicole Charlwood

“Cindy's recipes are delicious and I'm always confident I'll have tasty meals. Not only are her classes well thought out and organized, but she always weaves health information throughout her classes. Love the batch cooking classes!” — Danielle Campbell

“Preparation was well organized with emailed lists beforehand. The pace of the class was perfect with check ins, guidance, some laughs. It was very exciting prepping, connecting with the group, cooking, and...snacking a little! The recipes were amazing with so much flavour!! It’s been 3 weeks and we finished the mushroom borscht and mushroom walnut burgers just yesterday. Still have desserts in the freezer. I’m inspired and happy to be eating delicious healthy food because I can really get off track sometimes. Grateful to have found Cindy online. Sign up!” — Trena Gauthier

“Cindy is knowledgeable and enthusiastic and her batch cooking class was super fun and wildly productive!” — Rayya Liebich

Positive Body Talk - 2nd Session

body image photo.jpg

We had so much to talk about and much more material to cover in our first session, that we decided to continue the discussion! (I don't have a date set yet for a 3rd, but it is my intention to run another class early June :) )

Don't worry if you missed the first class, join in at any time, on this powerful, transformative conversation & connect with other women, parents, educators, and come together on a subject that deserves our attention!

If you are a parent/woman/teacher/educator that has concerns about how to raise children with a positive body image and relationship with food,
THIS IS A WORKSHOP FOR YOU!

Body image distortion & dysfunctional eating, both continue to greatly affect our growing children, their self-esteem & decision making, their overall health, and respect for the body. In this 3 hour workshop, we will explore this intricate relationship between developing kids and food & body, how to talk to them about this relationship, and how to recognize signs of struggle. We will discuss dietary habits, the affect of social media and mainstream marketing, self-esteem, and intuitive eating practices. We will explore the role of Mind-Body Nutrition, as well as cover topics such as dieting, toxic dietary beliefs, fear foods, guilt & shame, and language. The goal is to provide parents with practical tools to apply and support positive positive body image & food relationships in our young ones. Workshop will include informational handouts, discussion, in-class exercise, dietary focus, and suggestive homework. Snacks & tea provided.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

✔️Increasing awareness of the role body image plays with self-esteem and mental and physical health
✔️Understanding our role as parents
✔️Increased understanding of internal and external influences that help shape one’s body image
✔️Exploration of the correlation between media trends and body concerns
✔️Recognizing signs of low self-esteem, negative body image, and food dysfunction
✔️Providing practical tools to help our kids understand risks, media messaging, social pressures, and seeking support
✔️Supporting one another as parents
