IN THIS FREE 2 HOUR WORKSHOP YOU’LL EXPLORE HOW TO BEFRIEND YOUR BODY AND DISCOVER HOW SOMATIC TRAUMA HEALING CAN OPEN YOU UP TO A LIFE OF ALIVENESS AND FREEDOM
I have had a lot of wonderful feedback from the free resource I shared earlier this month - Empowered & Free: Your Toolkit To Transform Binge Eating and Body Shame.
You can download it here if you haven’t already.
I’ve decide to expand on this toolkit and bring a live element to you through the creation of this workshop.
If you're tired of struggling with binge eating, feel like you’ve tried allllll of the things and long for a loving and peaceful relationship with your body, this workshop is for you.
IN THIS WORKSHOP YOU WILL …
Experience a shame and blame free space and for you to understand why what you’ve tried so far isn’t working, why it is absolutely not your fault.
Discover what it is your need to bring attention to in order to put an end to binge eating.
Learn why we have to go beyond mindset work and invite in the body and nervous system to create a path for connection and healing.
Discover why inner safety is foundational for moving forward with a greater sense of trust and ease with your decisions around food and your relationship to your body.
Explore a range of somatic practices that you can start to integrate into your life, so you can get started right away with finding more peace around food and more confidence in your body.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF …
You’re constantly consumed by thoughts about food, whether it’s what you should eat, what you’re going to eat or what you’ve just eaten. You’ve heard it’s possible (although you can’t quite imagine it) to have a mind that’s no longer filled with these thoughts.
You feel like food has completely taken over your life, it brings you too much unhappiness and you know there’s a more joyful approach to life.
You can’t remember the last time you went out for dinner without feeling anxious about whether there will be anything you ‘can have’ and you’d love to have total flexibility to have whatever you want … and have it with total pleasure !
You find it so hard to find clothes that you feel comfortable in and you often end up spending money you don't have on huge clothes hauls to try and make yourself feel better.
You feel really self conscious about your body and you’d love to feel proud and at peace with the body that you have.
You find that you often feel overwhelmed and out of control and want to discover how you can manage the emotional ups and downs of being a human being.
You’re exhausted from all the years of feeling like you are responsible for everyone else's emotions and you’re ready to put yourself first.
you’ll walk away with the knowledge to …
Connect with Your Body:
Learn how to tap into your body's innate wisdom through somatic awareness and use it as a guide on your path to healing.
Embody Emotions & Learn to Relate Somatically To Yourself,
Engage in guided somatic exercises that help you let go of pent-up emotions and create space for self-compassion.
Rewrite Your Story:
Understand the role of body shame and binge eating in your narrative and explore ways to rewrite it via the body into one of love and acceptance
Empower Yourself:
Gain understanding of the nervous system and its role in creating the relationship you desire with food, your body and life around you.
“it’s the workshop that i didn’t know i was searching for !”
“I came away from this workshop realising and remembering that my body is doing everything FOR me. I now understand how my actions, choices and behaviours reside & begin in my nervous system & I’m so excited to continue working with Alex on this journey. I wish I had learnt about this years ago !!”

"everybody needs to experience this”
“Being in Alex’s presence offered me a certain kind of safety that I haven’t experienced before. In just 90 minutes, I discovered so much about the reasons why I find it so difficult to stop certain patterns and behaviours and the (very manageable) steps I can take to start transforming that. Through this learning I’ve started to experience a new kind of relationship with myself - it’s kinder, more loving, more patient & compassionate. It’s beautiful. I’m crying.
Thank you Alex.”

hEY, I’M ALEX …
I USED TO REALLY DISLIKE BEING ME.
I thought that there was something deeply wrong with me. I thought that everybody was better than me, more attractive and cooler than I was, I thought I was the only one with these crazy thoughts and obsessions about food and my body and that they all had the secret answer , to a life of happiness that I was just unable to find.
On the outside, I was the responsible one, the supportive one, the brave one. the strong one.
Nobody knew the truth within, because from a very young age I’d learnt ‘how to hold it all together’, be strong and look like everything’s under control.
Through my early experiences, my nervous system was wired in a way that meant I did not have much capacity to be with intensity and I was unable to regulate myself (especially in a healthy and supportive way). And so, I developed an eating disorder, anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, muscle weakness and chronic, unexplained pain within my body. Along with poor boundaries, people pleasing and perfectionism.
I walked through life with a lot of shame, guilt, numbness and disconnection and I tried EVERYTHING to try and make it better.
Colonic irrigation, soup diets, paleO diets, keto, vegan, week long panchakarma retreat, chinese medicine, massage, meditation, affirmations, physiotherapy, intuitive eating, podcasts, workbooks, yoga and so much more …
It wasn’t until I entered into the world of somatics and began learning about trauma, that my understanding of what I was experiencing was actually a very normal response to very abnormal experiences and situations.
I learnt that in fact, there was absolutely nothing wrong with me.
I know what it feels like, to be living in a state of disconnection, stuckness and in a cycle of food patterns that perpetuates the dark, dull and isolating space in which shame exists.
I know what it feels like, to come into connection with the layers of armouring and protection that have been built up within us, and return to a place that recognises our wholeness, enoughness and beauty so that we can live a life of love, freedom and aliveness. wholeness, enoughness and beauty so that we can live a life of love, freedom and aliveness.
And now I want to invite you into experiencing it too.
