Led by Lindsay Bailey MS, RD, LD, CEDS-S, CDCES, Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor
This class might be for you if you’re ready to…
Break up with a cycle of dieting
Find joy in movement, rather than punishment
Honor your body’s biological hunger/fullness
Gain more pleasure and satisfaction from your eating experiences
Remove the guilt, shame, and self-judgement from eating the foods you enjoy
Learn how emotions can play a role in our eating patterns
Honor your health by utilizing evidence-based nutrition information in a way that does not sacrifice your mental health and well-being
The class is open to those who have answered ‘yes!’ to the above questions. It is not for those looking for a ‘quick fix’ but we understand in this society, so many folks are seeking weight loss—and if this is you, we consider you to join in and learn the ‘why’ behind why folks want to pursue weight loss, and explore the motivations underneath. Something to keep in mind is that healing your relationship with food cannot happen when actively trying to lose weight at the same time as these practices contraindicate one another. Participating in this class will empower you to make health promoting behavior changes and mental shifts that aim to support your overall well-being. These changes may or may not involve changes in one’s weight.
*this class is not open to those who are currently in active treatment for an eating disorder. If you are seeing a KJN dietitian, please inquire about the class in session with you RD to discuss whether or not this class would be a fit!

If you find yourself or a loved one struggling with food or the relationship with their body, just know that you are not alone. Contemplating whether or not to receive help can be coupled with confusion. You may ask yourself questions like:
Am I even sick enough to receive help?
Is this something I can do by myself, or do I need a dietitian?
Will I ever be able to break free from the cyclic nature of my food/body obsession?
What does outpatient nutrition therapy look like?
If you resonate with any of these questions, we’d love to offer support to you. It’s our goal to address your questions, and concerns while reducing the shame that may come with. This support group meets virtually once a month on the first Monday of each month after the initial group held on August 16th, 2023 at 8pm MST.
