Stop the stressful dieting cycle and feel good around food and in your body.

Do you want to stop dieting but then feel out of control around food and keep turning back to food rules?

It's not more food rules you need. You need to improve your relationship with food and body.

Imagine what life would be like if you could stop worrying about your weight and feeling out of control around food.

You can and deserve to have a peaceful relationship with food and your body.

Benefits of reclaiming your food freedom

Allow food to feel truly satisfying. No more carb-free meals for "health" and then craving all the carbs later along with a side of guilt.

Stop binge eating

Stop feeling trapped between stuffed full and ravenously hungry or second guessing when to eat. 

Cope with emotional eating

Find a supportive balance between food for comfort and not over-relying on food whenever big emotions come up.

Connect with your hunger and fullness

Stop feeling trapped between stuffed full and ravenously hungry or second guessing when to eat. 

Discover your goals beyond diet culture

Stop getting side-tracked by diet culture and be supported to focus on what will really improve your life and wellbeing.

Declutter your mind

It's draining to constantly think about food, calculate calories or worry about how it will affect your body. Learn to work with your body so you no longer constantly think about food.

Your Questions Answered

What are Emma's qualifications?

Emma Townsin is a Specialist Eating Disorder Dietitian and registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC28209) - the governing body of UK health professionals. Additionally Emma is a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor.

This means Emma specialise's in the biological, psychological and emotional drives to eating. 

Emma has also completed advanced training in eating disorders, trauma informed care and counselling skills.

Emma also works in an NHS eating disorder service.

Will I lose weight?

The first step to healthy eating is a healthy relationship with food. We focus on improving your connection with your body, understanding emotional drives toward food and unpacking the overwhelming food and body thoughts.

I can't say what your body will do, in fact no one can. Dieting usually results in weight gain and, regardless of weight, a poorer body image.

Intuitive Eating is shown to have many physical and mental health benefits as well as an improved quality of life!

I'm worried I cannot connect with my body

After years of dieting you may feel disconnected from your body. For the majority of people, once you let go of the diet mentality, you are able to start reconnecting with your body to feel and trust your eating and emotional cues.

For some people, past trauma or emotional distress may make tuning into your body feel unsafe. If this is the case, you may be best supported with 1-to-1 support.

Feel free to get in touch via email if you are wondering whether this support sounds like a good fit for you.

I've tried so many things before, how is this different?

Most clients I work with have tried many different forms of diets, meal plans or healthy eating advice.

In my experience, these don't work because they are not teaching you how to eat.

In Finding Your Food Freedom, I don't tell you what or when to eat, but rather teach you how to connect back into your body so you can satisfy your hunger, honour your fullness, cope with emotion, naturally stop binge eating and eat in a way that is enjoyable and feels good.

There are hundreds of research studies directly on this approach showing amazing results. Drop me an email if you would like the list of available research!

Will you give me a meal plan?

Although a meal plan telling you when and what to eat sounds tempting, in my experience it is only a short term bandaid solution.

The ultimate goal is for you to have full autonomy over your eating but in a way that feels good.

To do this you will learn how to connect back with your body's natural hunger and fullness cues, to find satisfaction and cope with your emotions in more supportive ways so you won't ever feel you need someone else to tell you what to eat again.

Can I get a refund if it is not a good fit?

If this course is not right for you, please contact me within 14 days and we can arrage a refund or switch you to another course.

You will lose access to the course and must not have downloaded the materials to continuing using after.
