Body Love
making peace with your body (at any size) as you heal your relationship with food
If you've been beating yourself up with thoughts like that, and you're consumed daily with feelings of low self-worth or hating your body, you're not alone.
I remember what it's like to feel ashamed of my body size. I judged myself harshly for the choices I made that had me feeling like a prisoner because I was uncomfortable in my skin and couldn’t live life to the fullest. To heal my body and mind, I knew I’d need to make peace with it first.
Many of my clients relate to the shame and judgement of being in a body they don't love.
That's because we've grown up in a culture that perpetuates those feelings and benefits from our self-shame. We’ve been using punishment and judgment as motivation. It doesn’t work—you heal from self-compassion and self-love instead.
You don't need to have a toxic relationship with your body forever. You’ll learn to love your body as you begin to heal your relationship with food. That's how I did it and many of the clients I've worked with, too.
In this 90-minute course, I’ll teach you how to make peace with your body and love it at any size.
You'll start to appreciate it for how it’s supported you and the beauty it has. It'll be the first steps toward building your self-worth, self-esteem, and body image from an embodied place.

“Natalie Shay is amazing and has an uncanny knack of knowing exactly when to stop and help us reconnect. She is amazing and very intuitive. I finally understand why I turn to food instead of feel and own my emotions. I feel more connected to my body than I ever have in my life. I have taken many courses trying to understand the concepts behind body objectification and embodiment and I finally understand.”

About Natalie
Hey, I'm Natalie, a registered psychotherapist and life coach who's helped hundreds of clients and students get to the bottom of why they use food to cope.
I started this work because of my own struggles with emotional eating which started at the age of seven.
I tried everything from fasting to Nutrisystem, from Weight Watchers to pills, yet nothing worked. That's when my parents decided my only hope was liposuction at the age of seventeen.
You probably know how the story goes. I gained the weight back within a year and was crippled with shame and guilt. I couldn't understand why if I wanted something so badly as being "thin", why couldn't I do it?
Finally, I realized it wasn't about the food. Food was simply my tool of choice for dealing with the uncomfortable emotions I was feeling inside. Once I got to the root of why I was using food to cope, I could start the healing process and begin to see food in a healthy new way.
And that's my hope for you, too.
FAQ’s
-
You’re not focusing on the food and trying to control it. You’re focused on connecting to what is underlying your drive for food. This class will support you in releasing the old shame that you have carried so you can start to heal in a new way.
-
You’ll have access to ask questions, share your comments and your experiences in a private chat that only enrolled students in Food Is Not the Enemy get to see.
-
I believe that when you emotionally eat, it’s because you are using food to cover our emotions. In my experience, you need to learn where there is a void in our lives (usually emotionally) to help us learn why you are turning to food in the first place. Once you learn this, you can learn how to re-establish your hunger signals and mindfully eat since those have been lost along the way.
-
This is a self-study course and NOT a replacement for therapy, psychotherapy, or counseling. Therapy involves one-on-one relationships between clients and therapists. This course will help empower you to get to know yourself better, and provide you with tools to implement on your own, in an engaging, self-directed format.
