What if I told you the first step to developing a more relaxed relationship with food was changing the way you thought about food? 

It’s true. Which is why I’m hosting a one-day retreat  for women who are ready to shift the way they think about food and their bodies. It’s this Saturday, May 6th, in Boulder.

There are just a few slots left.

If you don't want to give away any more of your precious life energy worrying about what you’re going to eat, what you’ve already eaten, or the size and shape of your body, I hope you'll join us.

Patients came to our Denver clinic from as far as Montana, New Mexico, and Chicago).

“That salad was supposed to be for both us.”
