Group Coaching Services
There is strength in numbers! Undergoing surgery and living with a medical condition can be overwhelming. One of the best approaches to counteract this stress is to seek out a group. You’ll benefit the most by having a space with others who understand your perspective along with an experienced dietitian moderating.
Members will have the opportunity to provide assistance to one another, discuss a wide range of topics, and gain sound nutrition advice.
We’ll explore topics such as …
- Weight bias
- Unsolicited commentary about nutrition or fitness
- Honoring / respecting the body, even when you don’t like it
- Boundaries
This group may be for you if you…
- Are open and curious to learn about other people’s experiences.

- Comfortable participating in and being on a virtual platform.
We want to be clear this experience is NOT

- Therapy group
- Eating disorder support group
