Do you find yourself skipping meals and then becoming ravenously hungry?

Are you suffering with inflammation, fatigue, hormonal issues, pain?

Is food taking the place of serenity in your life?

Than you have come to the right place
my friend!

My name is Tanya Lewis and not only do I love food, I love knowing that the delicious food we eat is also what creates our health. My goal is to help you find the foods, habits and mindset that creates your healthiest self. You know that feeling when you look great, you feel great and you walk out your door feeling great!

Conscious Eating is where we develop an understanding of the place of food and eating in our daily lives. This is an essential therapy for anyone with chronic digestive issues, food cravings, loss of appetite and weight challenges.

How often have you tried to change your eating habits, but then you have guests over or you go out to eat to be social? We all want to “join in” but may not want to say “I can’t eat that”, because it invites questions that we may not want to answer. Try this …

Invite people to your house and put out a little spread of tasty options. Be sure to include two things that you can eat such as some fruit, some grissini crackers, salad. Don’t put out anything that would really tempt you. Then enjoy! This way you turn a potentially uncomfortable and tempting occasion into the fun you deserve.

So often we turn to pain killers, antacids, Pepto-Bismal or Miralax because our digestion is so chronically compromised. Whether we are talking about the stomach, the small intestines or the colon, we are talking about how our body is handling the food we eat.

This is because we have failed to understand the essence of “feeding”. We may eat, but that doesn’t mean we are feeding ourselves. All of us understand that a donut isn’t the healthiest option, but we aren’t eating it for its nutritional value. We are eating it because we feel we deserve a treat, because we are in a rush and need something in our stomach, because we are dealing with grief, because it’s too delicious to pass up! The feelings and emotions that surround our food choices are often what drives our symptoms as well.

Conscious Eating as a one on one therapy in which our Nutritional Therapist, Tanya Lewis will help you to develop an understanding of how your relationship to food is an expression of your emotional life. These appointments are to gradually provide you with a mindfulness about how your body handles food, why it craves certain foods and how to make healthier choices for what we need every day. Our emotions are so often expressed through food choices instead of through the emotional pathways in our lives.

Through Conscious Eating, we will help you learn how to make food a priority without all the emotional baggage that can weigh you down.

Through the process of Conscious Eating we will help you to navigate the hundreds of eating plans out there from Paleo to Keto to Atkins to Vegan to the one that is just for you.
