Tired Of Feeling
Uncomfortable in your body?
What feelings and perceptions do you have about your body or in your body? If you're like most women, your feelings and perceptions are not positive and it's affecting you, your relationships, your money, your career, and every woman with whom you interact.
In our culture, our self-image - who we are as a human being - is so interwoven into our concept of body image that we are unable to imagine ourselves as separate from the body we currently occupy. We judge ourselves by how we feel about our body. We experience guilt, shame and judgment from ourselves and others towards our body, then internalize those feelings into our concept of who we are as a person. We're so integrated into this thought process that we don't see the error or the dangers until it's too late.
If you're TIRED of not feeling confident about or comfortable in your body, we invite you to release the guilt, shame and judgment and join us in learning how to heal
Tackling Body Shame
Women are fed a regular stream of diet and exercise literature aimed at controlling our body size and appearance. Not sure if you believe that? Look at the headlines of most women's magazines and you'll see articles about how to get the perfect summer body, tone your butt, lose belly fat, battle wrinkles, appear years younger or look great in that Holiday outfit - regardless of the "Holiday" in season.
Now we invite you to consider: when you look in the mirror, do you see the courageous woman you are? Do you look at yourself with compassion, pride and grace for the love you bring to your friends and family? Or are you more likely to be mentally eviscerating every scar, bulge or stretch mark while condemning yourself for "overindulging" on foods you label "bad"?
We believe it's time to end the diet culture that glorifies thin over healthy. We believe we - AND YOU - are SO much more than a body!
If you are ready to
- get off the diet roller coaster,
- embrace yourself with more compassion and
- believe, as we do, that you're here for more important things than losing weight and looking pretty,
we want you to know that there's hope and help.
It's Time to End the Cycle of
Shame, Guilt and Judgment
It's time to stop fitting ourselves into someone else's mold.
It's time to make our own rules, for our own lives, and our own goals
| ✓ | Connect with a community with other like-minded women looking for answers. | |
| ✓ | Explore your relationships to food, self & others in a safe space. | |
| ✓ | Discover how your daily life, actions and behaviors are impacted by your relationship with your body. | |
| ✓ | Learn tangible ways to incorporate quick, healthy and easy meals into your busy days that will help you feel good. | |
| ✓ | Experience camaraderie and support as you create your own empowering rules to reach your health goals for the life you want to live. |
It's Time to BE More For Yourself.
It's Time to build greater Self-Compassion AND
Move Towards That Next Best Version of You
"our beauty obsessed world perpetuates the idea that happiness, health and the ability to be loved are dependent on how we look."

INTRODUCING
NOURISH - THE PROGRAM
One of the first things you'll notice about us is that we're different! We're not focused exclusively on weight loss, we won't build diet plans, push supplements or talk to you about quick fix schemes. This program lasts a full 12 months.
Let's get serious for a moment - you didn't show-up in this place of discomfort and challenging body beliefs overnight. You didn't go to bed last night feeling amazing about your body only to wake up this morning exhausted about how you feel about your body.
As much as we'd love to tell you that you'll see results in 30 day or 90 days, we all know it takes time to change our beliefs and see differences. We've structured Nourish: The Program to be a year long journey back to rediscovering yourself, focusing on your health and wellness and fully investing in YOU.
More honesty coming....
We're not for everyone and that's ok. We want to be honest with you about what it takes to be successful at stepping in to be the woman you need for yourself. If you're ready to do the work, we are all in on supporting your success.
It's going to feel uncomfortable and challenging for awhile. Have you ever started an exercise program all gung-ho only to be so thoroughly 'over worked' at the end of 3 days that you get to know every muscle you need to roll over or to go to the bathroom? Yeah - It sucks and we've been there! But if you persist, you know that you will overcome the discomfort and begin to see results.
As much as we all want a quick fix, a fairy godmother that will wave her wand and send us to the ball looking and feeling radiant, we're here to tell you that the only path to results is "through" the pain and discomfort.
Now for the good stuff...
We promise we'll be supportive and help you set realistic milestones. AND if you show up and do the work, you will see results - you are in control.
What's Included in the Program
Certified Coaches
12-month Program designed and led by certified Nutrition and Gestalt coaches. We've been trained and vetted by nationally & internationally recognized organizations. We use proven methods and practices.; we understand the role of the coach and have agree to abide by and are bound to a code of ethnics and principles in our work.
Holistic Approach
This program has been specifically designed from the ground up to address Body Image (how you feel about your body) and your Emotional, Spiritual, as well as Physical well-being. We're not focused on just one aspect (diet & exercise) leaving you to piece together your own program in other areas. We've got everything you need to be successful all in one place!
Monthly Group Coaching
We hold two group coaching meetings monthly. One is focused on nutritional and physical health topics; the other targets work with emotional topics and embodiment activities. Both are pivotal in gaining greater insight to challenges and opportunities we all experience in these areas.
Monthly Whole Community Circle
Twice monthly, we meet as a community to create connection and explore topics within the context of a talking stick style circle. We'll explore common themes, share successes or challenges, and use ritual as a method to connect to each other and our greater bond as a community of women.
Expert Speakers
We are not omniscient (shhh, don't tell our kids or husbands, we've worked hard to get them to think we know everything). We are constantly learning and growing from a vast array of experts that are working, researching and seeing results in different areas of focus in every stage of life. We bring them into the community once a month to share their knowledge with you.
Workshops & Challenges
Have you ever been on a weight-loss journey and found by the 4th month that the lack of variety is causing you to contemplate self-sabotage? (one of us - not calling out anyone Sandra - used to know exactly how many "goldfish" crackers could be eaten without impacting her keto-diet). We totally get it! So we've built in free challenges and workshops (cooking classes anyone?) to amp up the energy and kill the "boredom" vibe.
Online Resource Repository
There's a lot of information and we can't always take it in all at once, participate in everything or be in a place where it's applicable to our situation. We get it! We've built an online repository that you can access at any time to rewatch stuff, learn new stuff, read stuff, and get this, we have STUFF! So pull out that popcorn bucket, plug in your ear buds and join us 24/7 for informational stuff on all kinds of .... stuff.
Private Community & Support
Sitting up stressing about something at 2am and that relaxation meditation didn't work today? or maybe you need a good relaxation meditation recommendation! Jump on the private community board and put your question, concern or need out there. Our members will help you out! And even though we may not be online at 2am, we will read posts and questions and respond with tips, coaching or resources to support you on your journey.
Our private community is not hosted on Facebook. Only active members are able to see, post, comment or provide input.
Schedule of Activities
Did you look at that big list of features included in the program and wonder how you were going to fit it all into your calendar? We want to make this easy for you so we've structured the program around a typical 4 week month. So here's what happens:
| Week 1 | 45 minute Group Coaching call on Tuesday morning 90 minute Community Circle on Thursday evening |
| Week 2 | Access any of the always available content like: private community support, Online resource repository, Speaker videos and content, participate in any active challenges or previous recorded workshops. |
| Week 3 | 90 minute community circle on Tuesday Morning 45 minute Group Coaching call Thursday evening. |
| Week 4 | Access any of the always available content like: private community support, Online resource repository, Speaker videos and content, participate in any active challenges or previous recorded workshops. |
Workshops and speakers will be peppered into the schedule and are dependent on schedules and availability of the third parties.
* Although our circles are offered on two different days/times, we use the same content each circle. They are offered this way to facilitate participation based on different locations, timezones, your schedules, vacation plans and your personal availability. Attend one, both or watch the recording of the virtual circle - it's your choice.
** Coach-led group meetings will focus on Health & Wellness topics when led by Shannon and a separate session led by Sandra will target life alignment, boundaries and emotions. Hot seat coaching will be available in each.
WHY this program?
Body Image is not solved with a one-size fits all approach.
It's not mind-set.
It's not dieting.
In our program, we believe it's a concentrated and whole person approach towards being HEALTHY in our thoughts, beliefs, and way of being. We tackle this material holistically - MIND, BODY and SPIRIT.
Healthy might mean
- making better exercise choices for some, or
- changing our nutritional balance,
- lowering blood pressure,
- avoiding foods that cause inflammation or disease,
- addressing sleep habits, stress, anxiety,
- working through painful feelings,
- implementing loving kindness techniques and tools into our lives, or maybe
- releasing expectations about what size clothes we will wear or are wearing at the moment.
Other programs might focus on weight management, healthy eating, or exercise regimens. Other coaches and programs might focus on changing mindsets and habitual thoughts/practices around your beliefs.
It's rare to find a program that focuses on all of these at the same time!
That's why we believe so strongly that this is the best program available. We work with you to support YOUR goals and to support your well-being which might be how you feel about the scale, the foods you choose to eat and/or the feelings you carry around with you about food, exercise, the world and yourself.
Pricing
We're flexible.
We believe any program - ours or someone else's has to fit into your budget short and long term. Since we're not in control of those decisions, we give you OPTIONS!

But Wait, there's more...
Based on our work with our private clients, we believe there are two add-on products that would help propel your progress in this program. These two items are described below and will be available at an additional fee if you want them after you join the program.
Just like all budgets are not created equal, our member's support needs are also varied. Rather than create a program with features you may not want, need or value, we have opted to offer the two "VIP Add-Ons" . This way, you're not paying for something you won't use or don't need on your individual success journey. It's like that commercial jingle from way back..."have it your way, have it your way...."
Sorry for the ear-worm that will be playing in your head now...

OUR CORE BELIEF
WHY WE DO THIS WORK
Every one of us is created perfect, beautiful, caring and worthy. When we live life through the eyes of others and the lens of comparison, women begin to believe we are “less than”.
It's our belief that working to improve how we feel about ourselves is one of the most important things we do. How we see ourselves, radiates outward without our knowledge and it's what our daughters and the girls/women around us learn to feel about themselves. Regardless of what we say to them, or how much we reassure them, what they learn is the inner voice we try so hard to not let others see.
How we feel about ourselves IS the core that informs our actions and ripples through to all we touch. And, as a result, it fuels our legacy to our sons, our girls and our communities
In Nourish - The program, our fundamental objective is to support you in regaining your self-confidence and inner joy.
