Welcome
// Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and stars; you have a right to be here.

Disordered eating, depression, anxiety, and a body we loath are not life sentences. If you struggle with these, like I have, there is so much here for you. As Esther Hicks said perfectly in her 3 part interview series with Oprah:
“hope is burdensome when made heavy by its companion = fear of failing.” So then what’s beyond hope and fear?
Misinformed media, highly corporatized agendas and minimized trauma have caused confusion about our most basic virtue: The right to feel confident in our own skin.
If you’re ready to begin healing from within, please join me on a journey of Wild Unabashed Bravery.
“With so many people in the health and wellness industry it can be overwhelming and hard to trust anyone. Katie is as genuine and authentic as they come and I love how she supports her clients (and everyone) into coming into a relationship with themselves. Eating is a way to honor and love yourself. Movement is a way to love and honor ourselves. Through Katie’s support, guidance and suggestions I’ve been able to cultivate a deeper sense of self love resulting in better health, more energy and just feeling better all around. Even on my bad days!” – Lauren Adelman
Therapeutic Eating™
Therapeutic Eating teaches us to align our Intentions with our Actions. We learn how to navigate using our compass-ion and commit to feeling good – knowing there’s no greater way of attracting what it is that we want. Therapeutic Eating is a map. By using this map we cultivate what I call gut consciousness. To me, food and therapy are inseparable. In the name of our prowess, my mission is to bring invocation to that spark within, which will overpower the blocks that enable our limitations. We’re going to have fun, go deep, feel delicious & reap satisfaction. Thank you for joining me on this journey.
Your Body is a Mantra
“Katie’s TE is a breath of fresh air. It gives you permission to break-up with diet culture and transform your overall diet habits. It gives you the freedom to explore your relationship with food without judgment or fear of failure.” – Erin Haag
The 6 Principles of Therapeutic Eating™
1.
Fads, Trends, WeightlossDon’t eat something just because its been touted to help you lose weight.
2.
Taste, Presentation, MarketingDon’t eat something that only tastes good in your mouth, but not in your body.
3.
Labels, Prisons, TricksYou don’t need a label. Labels are limiting. Don’t limit yourself.
4.
Run, Play, SweatExercise is a source of connection. Until it is revered for its mental benefits, it will never be revered for its physical ones.
5.
Change, Love, StructureYou can change. Your inner blueprint is defined by your degree of self love.
6.
Religion, Medicine, FoodFood is medicine, not a religion. While food carries no moral value, modern commercial food is not neutral. Eat what nurtures & nourishes your body – not what is allowable by a belief system.
Body Reset!
The 10-Day Quarterly Body Reset
I’ll be entirely honest, the Body Reset was born of Tequila and Chocolate Cake. This 10 day reset is a non-punitive way to evoke self love and target behavioral change. It’s amazing what can happen in 10 days. So let’s explore this kind of honesty for ourselves – with each other. Life doesn’t need to emulate a flower garden every day of the year but with accountability we can sow the seeds of behavioral change and sharpen our self awareness. It’s fun, it’s delicious and it’s always full of surprises.
The Quarterly Body Reset happens: February 1 // May 1 // August 1 // November 1
