A Somatic Recovery program teaching you the skills of embodiment and self-compassion for disordered eating and making peace with your body, food, and self.
Why this program
If you’re ready for a gentler, smarter way to heal your relationship with food, body, and self—one that goes through the body (not around it)—this is for you. We’ll build practical skills in embodiment and self-compassion so you can regulate tough emotions, reduce urgency, and choose from a calmer place.
What makes it different
Body-first, trauma-informed
We work with your nervous system, not against it.
Evidence-informed practices
Interoceptive awareness, mindfulness, and self-compassion—applied to real life.
Skills over stories
Less rehashing, more in-the-moment practice and integration.
Kind, doable, repeatable
Tools you can use at the table, in the kitchen, and on the go.
What you'll experience:
This program will offer you a new view on recovery—one that is unique, integrative, and holistic—helping you develop the respectful and trusting relationship with your body, food, and self that you’ve been searching for.
Different from a support group or therapy group, The Befriending Your Body™ Programis a psycho-educational program designed to teach you about your brain, nervous system, and the inner communication of your body that may have been lost along the way. We’re not here to retell stories—we’re here to share in-the-moment experiences and practice the skills that bring you back home to yourself.
Through this program, you will:
Gain knowledge about the internal workings of your body and nervous system.
Learn how internal awareness helps you regulate tough emotions—such as anxiety, fear, and shame—that block recovery and keep you stuck.
Build the skills of self-compassion to soothe the most difficult moments within your nervous system, thoughts, and emotions, keeping you moving forward.
Discover Interoceptive Awareness—a “new language” for understanding your body from the inside out, cultivating authentic self-care and intuitive knowledge.
Develop an embodied understanding of emotion regulation.
Deepen self-knowledge, self-discovery, and self-connection.
Grow self-kindness toward yourself and your body.
