About this class series:

Emotional eating isn’t shifted by willpower — it’s about releasing unmet needs, stored emotions, and nourishing your  nervous system.


Cravings to Clarity: Nourish & Release is a 4-week collaborative workshop designed to help you release emotional eating patterns at the root by combining Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/tapping) with supportive, non-restrictive nutrition education.


Together, we’ll explore why cravings show up, learn how to regulate emotions and stress in the moment, and nourish the body in ways that naturally reduce cravings — all while building trust, compassion, and awareness around food.


This experience offers a gentle yet powerful path toward food peace, emotional resilience, and empowered choices.


What You’ll Experience

• EFT (tapping) practices to calm the nervous system and reduce the emotional charge behind cravings.
• Insight into emotional eating triggers such as stress, overwhelm, fatigue, and perfectionism.
• Nutrition education focused on macronutrients and hydration that support stable blood sugar and reduce cravings.
• Tools to distinguish emotional hunger from physical hunger — without guilt or restriction.
• New rituals for self-soothing, nourishment, and emotional regulation.
• A safe, supportive space to release shame and rebuild trust with your body. 


This is not a diet.
This is not about control.
This is about freedom, awareness, and nourishment — emotionally and physically.


This Workshop Is For You If:

✔ You eat differently when stressed, tired, or emotionally overwhelmed
✔ You want to stop fighting cravings and start understanding them
✔ You’re seeking tools that support both emotional and physical wellness
✔ You’re ready to build trust with food and your body
