TESTIMONIALS

" The Body Intuition weight management class was so helpful to me! I not only                                                            took off 12 pounds during the class, but I have kept t it off and lost another 8lbs.                                                           The class helped me to manage cravings, recognize my emotional eating, and                                                             increase my fitness and eat more healthfully.  These are tools I intend to keep with me for a long time."

" Body Intuition is a creative and informative way to address weight loss. I learned about psychology and nutrition and still use these tools two years later.  I would recommend this program to anyone interested in learning more about health and wellness."

    • inner calm
    • cultivation of compassion for oneself and others

This class is open to any age or fitness level.  This is the perfect class for a beginner or more advanced practitioner.  Come learn skills in mindfulness that you can apply anywhere, even walking!
