Intuitive Eating Essentials Online Course

Make Peace with your Food and Body Image

Are you tired of being at war with your waistline?

Do you find yourself eating "emotionally" and feeling out of control, despite trying even harder to control your food intake?

Would you like to make peace with what you eat?

Chew on this...


You’ve been struggling with food, so long you don’t even know what it would be like to stop fighting!

You’ve counted, you’ve measured, you’ve meal planned, you’ve ridden the roller coaster of diets more times than you can remember.

No matter how hard you have tried, that weight keeps coming back.

You’ve put yourself last for too many years, relinquishing self-care to attend to the needs of others.

You haven’t let yourself need or want anything.

Or... You're at midlife and your body is changing...again!

 

It’s no wonder, really. All you’ve ever known is dieting. It’s all your mom knew and it’s what your friends do.

Restriction, scarcity and pain have been your constant companions and their presence in your life has been normalized by media messages about what it means to be a woman.

For far too long you’ve let what takes up space on your plate take up too much room in your brain......

You don't need to hear that there is anything wrong with your body... but you do need a solution.

The solution is not found in endless diets that just leave us feeling deprived, hangry, and unsatisfied.

  • The solution lies in UNLEARNING these toxic diet culture messages that value body weight above health and well-being.
  • The solution lies in challenging these toxic messages that cause us to fear food, obsess over the number on the scale, and over calories, points, macros, and feel guilt over all our food choices.
  • The solution lies in giving ourselves unconditional permission to eat all foods without fear, to enjoy food, to care for ourselves, and put our needs first.
  • The solution lies in making food and activity choices from a place of self-care, not self-control.

You will learn that you are more than what you weigh and you are more than what you eat.

Food can be more than just fuel, and it can be more than a foe.

Instead of building a new diet plan, you can build walls that keep out diet culture and its toxic messaging.

 

You CAN let go of diet culture, and you CAN learn to embrace intuitive eating!


Intuitive Eating is a personal process of trusting your inner body wisdom to make choices around food that honor your physical well-being as well as your emotional health! To discover which foods feel good in your body, without judgment and without influence from diet culture.

Intuitive Eating is not a diet or food plan. Period. There is no pass or fail, no “blowing it,” rather it’s a journey of self-discovery and connection to the needs of your mind and body.

A message from Erica...

Every single person I have had the honor to work with describe the freedom and joy that comes from ditching diets!

They say they don't remember life PRIOR to learning about intuitive eating...

In our patriarchal society, it is difficult NOT to think about food, body shape, and size 24/7.

We’ve been conditioned from birth to act and look a “certain” way — ONE SIZE ONLY!

That's diet culture.

That diet culture voice is sneaky, and has whispered in your head long enough.

That diet culture voice has been trying to convince you you're not good enough.

That diet culture voice is harsh and mean and needs excavating!

The diet culture lies were given voice by patriarchy, racism, sizeism and ageism.

You don’t need to listen to them. You can listen to yourself instead.

You can give yourself permission to listen to a kinder, gentler voice.

It’s time to uncover, unlearn and pursue your passions. It’s time to move on.

I am so excited to share the journey of intuitive eating with you! If you are ready to try a NEW APPROACH... I invite you to sign up for my Intuitive Eating Essentials and Find Food Freedom and Body Peace Forever.

Hear what past students have to say about this Intuitive Eating program...

“Learning the skills and mindset of Intuitive Eating with Erica Leon has been truly a transformative experience. I’d been in the diet-cycle for most of my life and had no idea how damaging it had become. I’d developed a set of rules, low self-esteem, and guilt for not having the discipline to “fix” this aspect of my life. Through this journey, Erica, the guest speakers, and the other women in this e-course-turned-family and support group have helped me see the world through fresh eyes and being to reclaim ownership over my body and my nutrition.”

"I came to Erica expecting that she’d help me find solutions, boundaries and an expectation for what nutrition should be, instead I found comfort, healing and a whole new approach to living. This is the best decision I’ve ever made.”

"Erica Leon's course changed my life. I learned about the amazing way my body adapts during midlife, and that these changes are normal. I learned the fundamentals of intuitive eating, from how to notice my hunger and fullness to gentle nutrition for menopause."

"I went to Erica Leon’s virtual group intuitive eating class, I truly gave up the diet mentality and the tools. I threw away all of the diet foods and tools including FINALLY the scale. I’m feeling great and eating what I want in quantities my body needs. It’s been great. Thanks again!"

Whether you are recovered/recovering from an eating disorder or struggling with yo-yo dieting, trying to learn how to work with the changes of your body as you head into menopause and beyond, you will find the common sense in learning to be "attuned" with your body.

This self-study course offers you ways to work through these challenging times we live in and continue to stay on your path of making peace with food and your body image.

I know that our nutrition, body image and our health can be difficult to work on and that's why it's helpful to keep building on these habits that will change everything for the long term.

That is why so many women and others work with me - they need the expertise, guidance and support from a professional who knows how challenging this can be. You are working on creating lifelong habits, and this program is one of the best ways to learn to do this without the higher fees of working one on one with a dietitian.

I'd love to help you continue on your Intuitive Eating Journey...


Additional one-on-one nutrition counseling sessions can be arranged, as needed.

" I have done many diets and spent most of my life struggling with my weight. After meeting Erica and now working with her both individually and in her group program, I quickly realized that this was something different, this was something I can manage and do for the rest of my life.

Intuitive eating is not a diet -- it is just paying attention to food and listening to my body, I have not done for years. At times, it has been a struggle to be an intuitive eater but I have seen so many changes in myself. I am no longer a slave to the scale and I eat what I like! I eat without guilt and have started to enjoy food again. I owe much of my success to the support and encouragement I have received from Erica. She is amazing! Thanks again!"

~~ Current Client

I have been working with Erica Leon on Intuitive Eating for several years and it has totally transformed my approach to food and body. I first came to her because I was so sick of the diet roller coaster - weight up and down, feeling deprived, obsessed with counting calories, and miserable all the time. Erica has been so knowledgeable, kind, resourceful, patient, and always encouraging. Through our work I have learned to honor my hunger and respect my body. It's been wonderful having Erica to help guide me on this important journey. She has freed me from diets, and I am forever grateful!
