Wilder Wellness Intuitive Eating Course

If you're thinking "twenty-four-seven" don't panic, you are not alone.

Often beliefs and fears about food and body size have been passed down over generations, and then made more complicated through messaging and advertising through the media. We have been conditioned to not trust our own bodies and obsess over trying to perfect them.

Diet culture has led us to believe that our bodies are projects to be "fixed" by controlling our food and pushing ourselves to extremes.  However, when we attempt to control and push our bodies to these extremes, food actually ends up controlling us.

It is common to end up in a never-ending restrict/binge cycle, that pushes us further from creating trusting relationships with our hunger and fullness cues. We get stuck on believing that the next "lifestyle change" we try will not only give us a six-pack, but also provide lifelong happiness, and success. When really manipulating food and our bodies only keeps us stuck in the painful cycle of weight cycling and shame.

• Exit the binge and restrict cycle and feel grounded in your relationship with food
• Connect with your intuition around hunger and other areas of your life
• Spot diet culture bull shit before you waste weeks or months of your life on a different fad diet
• Radically shift the meaning you attach to your body. Build body respect and start fully living in your body.
• Notice patterns, rules emotional triggers, and beliefs about food that have impacted how you feed yourself
• Help you build a sustainable relationship with food, movement, and how you take care of yourself
• Eat with confidence and experience joy and pleasure around food

I'm Kristen, a licensed therapist with a passion for playing outside and connecting with friends over hot meals, and taking summit selfies.

My own recovery from an eating disorder, years of chronic dieting, and hating my body began when I started working in the outdoors. The outdoors helped me celebrate my body for all that it could do, instead of spending all of my time hyper-focused on my appearance.

However, my outdoor pursuits made it easy for me to fall into the trap of feeling like I needed to "earn my food" which ultimately became unsustainable and problematic.

The real work came when I began to heal my relationship with food and know that I was deserving of care and nourishment regardless of whether or not I was "sending it" outside that day. 

I found intuitive eating after pushing my body to extremes for years. My periods of bingeing and restricting were exhausting, and I found myself exercising injuries because I had no other coping skills to process emotions other than going outside.

While my journey of intuitive eating was healing and liberating, it also felt confronting, lonely and scary at times. The Wilder Wellness Intuitive Eating Course was created to support you and provide support along your journey.
