Foundations of Food

Facilitated by our Nutrition team:  Our Nutrition Team  Michelle Cordeiro, Anti- Diet Nutritionist and Sarah Hunt, Registered Dietitian.  As a client or follower of our work here at CCP, you know how intertwind our mental and emotional health is with our relationships to food.  One of the most complex relationships we all have, food can cause a great deal of confusion and stress for people. We believe with a better foundation and understanding of how we nourish ourselves we can make great strides in healing our relationship with food. 

Foundations of Food: A 6-week evidenced-based program guiding you through the fundamentals of nutrition and reconnecting with your body through Intuitive Eating. Our weekly meets will give space for you to check in with the group, and share any reflections or questions you may have before we go into the workshop portion of the evening.

Each night is a unique workshop facilitated by Michelle and/or Sarah, aimed at building up your confidence in making non-restrictive choices that feel good in your body. Participants can expect to share when comfortable to do so, learn and hear others experiences with their own relationship to food in this closed group container.
