Let's go!

Make Peace With Food

Feel confident and comfortable with your food choices – no more ‘good’ and ‘bad’ foods! Food is meant to be enjoyed, not to make us feel guilty for eating.

Listen to Your Body

Explore how mindful and intuitive eating can connect you with what, when, and how much food your body truly needs to feel satisfied and energized.

Listen to Your Needs

If you’ve used food to cope with stress, boredom, emotions, or as a reward, you’ll learn to recognize these cues and identify healthier ways of coping.

Create Sustainable Change

No. More. Dieting. Lay the foundation for a positive relationship with food and your body, and take diets off the table for good!

Experience Gratitude for Your Body

Build respect for your body and honor its needs. Appreciate the body you have now. You deserve to pursue your dreams in any body.

Liz’s passion for the treatment of eating disorders grew significantly through her work with the clients and collaboration with the treatment team, and she is excited to be able to pursue this passion in her hometown.

FAQ

How long will I have access to the course?

The course is designed to be completed over eight weeks, and we encourage giving yourself a week with each session to practice the principle of The Cultivated Self Cycle that you learned about that week. You’ll have access to this course for one year.

Is the course for people of all ages?
This course is for anyone 18 years and older.
Is this course for appropriate for men?
Absolutely! We all have a relationship with food and our bodies – positive, negative, or neutral. If you are looking to improve those relationships, then you are in the right place.
How much weight can I expect to lose at the end of the course?
The Cultivated Self is not designed to promote weight loss, nor is it a quick fix. We recognize that many diets and weight loss programs offer shiny promises of rapid weight loss and fast results, and those can sound really appealing. However, we also know that those types of diets and programs have not proven to be sustainable for the majority of us.
Is this course appropriate for someone with an eating disorder?
This program is not appropriate for someone that has a diagnosis of an eating disorder or believes that they might have an eating disorder. Eating disorder treatment requires a multi-disciplinary team that can include a doctor, psychiatrist, therapist, and dietitian. Please reach out to us for individual nutrition counseling if you are struggling with an eating disorder, or for help finding more resources.
What if I'm not satisfied with the course?

Please reach out to one of the instructors. The Cultivated Self is designed to help you through a series of principles within The Cultivated Self Cycle. If you aren’t happy with where you currently are, we want to help you get there. We are more than happy to guide you through an additional coaching session for a fee.

I have a medical diagnosis (diabetes, high blood pressure, food allergy). Can I still take this course?
Yes! This course is about YOUR relationship with food and your body. You will be able to explore how your relationship with food and your body impacts how you manage your medical diagnosis. With a positive relationship with food and body, your overall health improves because you are nourishing your body in a way that meets YOUR body’s needs and is satisfying.
