Book your placeWhy Mindful Eating?
So why should you spend 7 sessions exploring Mindful Eating? And what will you get out of it?
Research has found that “how” you eat can have a more positive and lasting effect on your health than “what” you eat. Mindful Eating is a practice that allows you to revolutionise your relationship with food. Cultivating awareness of your present moment experience you can increase your enjoyment of food, enhance taste satisfaction and learn to tune into your body cues related to eating such as hunger, stomach fullness and body satiety.
The benefits of mindful eating include:
- Developing a healthier relationship with food through non-judgmental awareness
- Increased awareness of body cues relating to hunger and satiety
- More enjoyment of food through your mindful presence
- Guilt free eating – ability to enjoy the foods you love
- More awareness of thoughts and emotions relating to food
- Recognising the difference between physical and emotional hunger
- Awareness of cues that lead you to over- or under-eat
- Understanding cravings and how to manage them mindfully
- Helps shift from being controlled by food to being at ease with food choices and with eating

- Week 1
Make Peace with Food
In session 1 we experience what mindful eating is and set the foundation of the mindfulness practice for the course. We explore how to make peace with food. - Week 2
Honour Your Hunger
This week we become re-connected with the sensations of physical hunger; we learn how to honour our hunger. We also explore "attunement disruptors" that get in our way of honouring our hunger. - Week 3
Becoming a Conscious Connoisseur
In this session we explore reasons we eat other than physical hunger as well as emotional hunger. We also revel in the experience of taste satisfaction. - Week 4
Feel Your Fullness
We start to tune in with the physical sensations of stomach fullness and body satiety and how to honour these. We also explore alternative ways to deal with stress and build an arsenal of strategies for self-care. - Week 5
Stress Eating & Cravings
This session explores the chain reaction of events that can lead us to over- or under-eat. We also learn how to "surf the urge" when it comes to cravings. - Week 6
Outer Wisdom & Gentle Nutrition

Follow-up Session: Mindful Eating for Life
Looking at how we can sustain mindful eating for life and developing your personalised mindful eating support plan for the future.
You will learn
During this 7-week MB-EAT based Mindful Eating course you will learn how to bring your full attention to your eating experience. You will do this by tuning into your senses and your body sensations and body cues. We will be delving into the physical aspects of eating, including body cues such as hunger, cravings and satiety (ie feelings of fullness). We will be bringing the qualities of mindful awareness to our mindful eating experience such as curiosity, kindness, acceptance and non-judgement. Through our mindful awareness we will be gaining insights into our thoughts and emotions relating to food and cultivating non-judgemental awareness of responses to food. Self-compassion and mindful self-talk and motivation will support us through our journey.

Testimonials
“This course has been life changing for me and I think that anybody would benefit from taking part in this course. If only just to learn to reconnect with your body better, learn to slow down and enjoy the eating experience more.”
Claire, London UK“Bernadette is super knowledgeable and experienced in mindfulness, nutrition, and healing relationships with food, and is a great educator and course facilitator. Her passion for her work is evident in her attitude, effort and the way she leads the course. She is great at explaining concepts, leading meditations, and facilitating group feedback and participation, making it an overall amazing experience for participants.
It was my first time ever learning about mindfulness with eating and food, and I can see small differences that are building on each other in my eating, choices, and attitude towards eating and food. My biggest take away I think was changing my labels on food from “good” and “bad” food, to “whole/nourishing” and “play” food.”
Carrie, USA“Bernadette’s warmth and enthusiasm is refreshing, and her skill as a mindfulness teacher remarkable. Working with her regularly would be life-changing for many people.” Cleve, South Africa – Participant of Mindful Eating Program (Group Sessions)
Cleve, South Africa“I loved the way you delivered your lessons..you have such a calm manner and are super knowledgeable. The content was fab and very accessible…I look forward to further implementing the principles you taught us.” Sandra, Den Haag NL – Participant of Mindful Eating Program (Group Sessions)
Sandra, The Hague NL
Bernadette’s use of terminology when discussing foods diverts the focus away from good and bad and allows for personal choice to enhance the understanding of each food and why we want it. Her passion for this area is infectious and the weekly practices allow me to develop personally. I thoroughly enjoyed the meditation sessions and I learnt so much from this programme. This course is perfect for anyone who wants to understand their eating behaviour and learn to appreciate food even more! Thank you so much Bernadette. Participant The Mindful Eating Program (Group Sessions)
Róisín, Northern Ireland“The course was very informative and taught me a great deal about my own eating habits. How to try not to feel that innate sense of guilt around food. How to be mindful of myself in every way.”
Aileen, London UK“I thoroughly enjoyed the Mindful Eating Course and it quickly became the favourite part of my week! Bernadette has excellent subject knowledge and delivers this in an easily understandable and interactive way. Her calm and reassuring manner guide you wonderfully through the meditations leaving you feeling both relaxed and energised! The programme has helped me to eat consciously rather than automatically and to bring my focus onto the physical nature of eating.”
