Mindful Eating
If you’ve ever struggled with dieting, emotional eating, or feeling out of control with food, mindful eating offers a fresh perspective.
“Rather than focusing on restriction, it helps you understand why you eat and how to develop a healthier relationship with food.”
About Mindfulness for Eating
Mindful eating encourages you to explore the reasons behind your cravings and emotional triggers, reconnecting you with your body’s natural hunger cues without relying on restrictive diet plans.
There are many myths circulating that Mindfulness is all about ‘clearing you mind’, another way to relax or to connect with an ‘inner peace’, that it is Buddhist religion or is a type of Yoga. None of these are true.
Mindfulness has many applications and qualities. It is secular, prescribed on the NHS, taught in schools, used in the armed forces and in leading businesses like Google and Nationwide.
Mindful Eating is just one of the many applications of this universal tool that is Mindfulness. It is used to access change to bring about better well-being.

Mindful Eating FAQs
If you have any questions you’d like me to answer, use the contact button below and fill out the form.
Does mindful eating really help with weight loss?

I can’t see myself meditating or doing that yoga stuff!
Neither could I! Some people call it meditation, others call it practice. Basically, you sit still in a chair, on cushions if you prefer, sometimes even lying down. You have a focus like the breath and simply observe it, whilst following my guidance. There are some mindful movement exercises, a few of these are like basic yoga moves. They are easy to access and require no specific fitness. These can be adapted to your physical condition, so everybody can take part.
I don’t do ‘alternative’ mindfulness stuff.
Mindfulness isn’t woo-woo—it’s backed by neuroscience, used by the NHS, Oxford University, and leading businesses. Even skeptics find it surprisingly effective!
But I am really busy, I won’t be able to fit it in, I have enough to do already!
This is the most common statement I hear, you are not alone! When I came to mindfulness in 2012 I was ferociously busy, but that is exactly why I came. I thought, I cannot carry on like this, there must be more to life. You are the most important person in your life, you need to give a bit of time back to yourself. This is counter-intuitive to how we are brought up, but if you are happy and well, you will bring positivity to every aspect of your life. If you are stressed, burnt-out or fed up, you will bring the opposite to your life, including to your loved ones. A bit like the oxygen mask principle on an aeroplane, you need to look after yourself first, so you can help others.
I’m not comfortable in group settings. Can I still take part?
Many people feel the same way. If working in a group doesn’t suit you, 1-to-1 coaching is available to ensure you get personalized support.
Is mindfulness a religious practice?
Not at all. Our mindfulness programs are secular, scientifically-based psychological tools designed specifically for workplace settings.
Is workplace mindfulness backed by science?
Absolutely—mindfulness has been extensively studied and proven effective in reducing stress, improving emotional regulation, and boosting workplace performance.
