Intuitive Eating Programme

What is Intuitive Eating?

Intuitive Eating is an evidence-based framework for helping people with their feelings around food, body image, and movement. Most of us have been on some sort of a diet for as long as we can remember; even if not ‘officially’, the chances are we’ve been avoiding foods we really enjoy, or aren’t eating as much as we really need to feel satisfied. This can lead us into a cycle of restriction and binging or can cause us to feel anxious or stressed about eating in social situations or around particular foods.

We spend so much time in our heads, overthinking every food choice, or worrying if we have to ‘make up’ for that cookie by spending hours in the gym, punishing our bodies with exercise we don’t really like. We stress about our bodies and try and manipulate them into being smaller than they want to be - this is exhausting. It takes up so much of our energy that we have little time left to think about the things that are actually important to us.

Intuitive Eating is a process to help you get out of your head when it comes to food and body image, and instead tune into and trust the signals your body is sending.

It’s an approach to eating which fundamental basis lies in nourishment as a form of self-care rather than approaching eating from a place of control and restriction.

Intuitive eating has been shown to help improve body appreciation and satisfaction, attunement to hunger and fullness, self-regard and optimism, exercising for enjoyment and dietary variety. It can also help improve physiological markers of health like blood glucose control, cholesterol and blood pressure. Finally, it has been shown to reduce the binge/restrict cycle and help people move away from diets.

How does the programme work?

In the Reconnect programme I will be coaching you through 11 consultations.

We will work through the principles of Intuitive Eating. Following each consultation, you will receive a follow up report which outlines everything we discussed and includes homework tasks to complete between sessions as well as further support i.e book recommendations.

You will have access to chat support between sessions so that you feel supported throughout our time together.

So are you ready to embrace this approach?

You want to eat foods that you enjoy without obsessing?
You want to bin your list of food rules and stop your life revolving around planning what to eat?
You want to escape the restrict-binge cycle?
You want to stop using food to cope with emotions?
You want to stop constantly worrying about your weight and your body image?

Achieving full freedom requires your focus, intention, action and repetition. And it is my honour to guide you and support you on this journey.

Taking that first step can feel scary. This is why I offer a free call so you have an opportunity to chat with me and get all of your questions answered.

Testimonials

Jenni was so helpful, extremely knowledgeable and really listened. She was able to come up with a perfect bespoke plan to try. So much easier than trying to figure it out myself!

I cannot recommend Jenni highly enough! (I have seen/spoken to many practitioners over the years). Jenni is not only really lovely and so approachable but Jenni carefully listened to my concerns. She was so thorough in her questions, determine to help me find answers which meant she did go above and beyond. Jenni took me through a plan of action which meant I had testing done before suggesting any supplements. This was great as it ruled out many routes I could have gone down. I can’t wait to try her new lifestyle plan and look forward to feeling great again.

I had my consultation with Jenni and she is a wealth of knowledge. She explained things to me that none of my physicians ever did regarding hormone imbalances and getting to the root cause. I look forward to my next consult with her in a few months

Firstly I was really impressed with Jenni's process and her knowledge, I felt in great hands that she had done her research into my condition. She reviewed many parts of my life but in a kind, understanding and non judgemental way and took the time to listen to any hurdles I had a long the way, there was always an alternative and something else we could try. Without Jenni's help into understanding my condition (Crohn's) I would have struggled for a long time. The process helped me work out how I needed to help myself in order to feel well again and I am so grateful for her guidance.

I was looking for help and guidance on a number of different areas, the main being Adenomyosis, something I was diagnosed with in 2019. I was being treated for this with an implant injection via my GP, something the nurses were concerned about due to the strength of them. I quickly realised that the injections were simply a quick fix, masking the problem temporarily and not a sustainable option. After some research, I got in touch with Jenni as I was keen to find a way to manage the pain naturally. With some changes to my diet, lifestyle and an introduction to some supplements I was able to combat and manage the pain and problems I had been encountering more than I had been able to with the medication.Jenni empowered me with the tools and knowledge to apply some healthy, sensible lifestyle choices which in turn have helped me to live pain free! Not only has Jenni helped me with my Adenomyosis, she has also helped me to manage my eczema, something I have lived with as toddler. Through some simple diet changes, I have been able to keep my eczema under control. Thank you Jenni for all your guidance, expertise, support and patience throughout. You have literally change my life and I cannot thank you enough!

“Working with Jenni has literally been life changing. I have so much more energy, I sleep better and have lost weight! She is a great teacher giving clear explanations for her recommendations and breaking down her suggested changes into manageable and realistic chunks. I can whole heartedly recommend Jenni as a professional with a huge amount of knowledge but also a huge amount of practicality and understanding. “

- Emma, Herts

“I always thought that getting rid of my gut problems, extra weight and all the guilt that went along with it would be painful and require full on discipline! In fact it’s all about being kind to yourself and listening to your body. Jenni was totally intuitive in how she worked with me and because of that things fell in to place at the right time for me. Health issues disappeared (even ones I didn’t realise I had) and without thinking about it the weight came off so now I feel younger, more healthy, more alive and most of all in control of food and enjoying that! Jenni is experienced, superbly informed and sensitive – I will work with her in the future and am recommending her with gusto to friends and family!”

"Jenni has the patience of a saint. She helped me understand that the IBS pain I was experiencing that had become my normal was in fact not, and it was nice to be taken seriously, rather than just being told I had IBS. She helped me understand which external factors contributed to my pain and also helped me unearth regular patterns that needed breaking with thought and behaviour changes. I am now managing my symptoms and can’t believe how much pain I used to be in! I know which foods to avoid, which ones I can sometimes have and ones that I can now eat that I didn’t think I could. It has changed my life, and although the process is quite hard as it not only requires some planning but also some patience which is not my key strength, slowly and surely I began to realise what a positive impact Jenni had helped me achieve both physically and emotionally. I know she will always be at the end of the phone and she has certainly helped me succeed when it felt like I had tried every method available. Thank you Jenni "

“Working with Jenni has changed my life in both the day to day of making me feel physically better but also with how I manage stress, self-care and making better choices in order to get the best out of life. She´s proved to me the link between food and mental health helping me to eliminate my chronic diarrhea and drastically reduce the frequency of debilitating migraines. This has been one of the best investments that I´ve ever made in myself. On top of everything she is a joy to work with.”

- Rebecca, Brighton

“It felt as if Jenni was a concerned friend that had your best interest at heart. She was committed to help me through this journey. Her knowledge and passion for what she does shines brightly. She was very approachable and easy to communicate with. Even on my bad days she was not only a great listener but helped practically. Jenni always made me feel supported. Although my session has finished for now, I will be contacting her soon to help me through the next chapter of my journey. Thanks Jenni, you are a star!” -
