A Gutsy Philosophy and Approach
“Let me help you follow your ‘gut’ - not another diet plan.”
Sarah Grant, Gut Reaction
What if A MORE PEACEFUL, TRUSTING RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD STARTS IN your gut?
I work with people whose challenges with food sit on a wide spectrum. Some feel stuck in cycles of dieting, emotional eating and self-criticism. Others are navigating the more complex terrain of disordered eating or an eating disorder. Wherever your relationship with food sits on the spectrum, you’re not alone.
Our culture is saturated with conflicting nutrition messages, dieting and wellness rules, and a pressure to “eat perfectly”. Against this backdrop it can be easy to lose touch with what your body really needs or give away a disproportionate amount of energy to worrying about food, sacrificing the joy of eating along the way. Over time, something that once felt natural can start to feel stressful and uncertain.
A peaceful relationship with food isn’t only about what we put into our digestive systems. How, when, and why we eat profoundly impacts our wellbeing, self-esteem and life satisfaction.
For some of my clients, the first step is about ensuring consistent nourishment and helping the body to feel physically safe again. For others, it is understanding long-standing patterns, softening self-judgement with compassion, and reconnecting with the subtle messages the body shares about its needs. And for many, the journey holds a bit of both.
Lasting ease around food grows from knowledge, awareness, a sense of safety around food and a gradual return to self-trust - trust in your body, trust in your hunger and fullness cues, and trust in your ability to meet your own needs for nourishment. This is really the heart of my work. I combine evidence-based nutrition and behavioural methods with a holistic, weight-neutral and compassion-led approach that helps you restore nutritional balance while rebuilding a trusting relationship with food and your body.
And when I speak about the gut, I mean both the remarkable system that supports your physical health and the seat of your inner wisdom or intuition - your ally in navigating eating with greater ease and confidence in the long-run.
FIND PEACE THROUGH THE GUT REACTION METHOD™
The Gut Reaction Method™ is a unique approach to reconnecting with your health, and creating balance and alignment between mind, body and food, with your Gut as your compass.
Through my work with hundreds of clients over the past decade, I’ve developed a liberating approach to finding peace with food called The Gut Reaction Method™.
My holistic framework, based on the body’s major energy centres - the seven chakras, provides an illuminating lens and roadmap through which to understand and affect positive change in the ‘Seven Core Dynamics of a Healthy Relationship with Food and Your Body’.
It is a tried and tested approach that has empowered many of my clients to break free from unhealthy patterns, restore balance to their eating patterns, rebuild trust with food, and find more peace with their bodies.
