We learn emotional eating patterns, often in childhood, and can go on to use food as a reward, for comfort, or even as self-punishment.
It's not always that easy to "unlearn" these patterns of emotional eating, but with the right support, it certainly is possible. Knowing why and how you eat can help you make positive changes and improve your relationship with food.

"I was impressed with Emma Lisa's knowledge and practical approach to weight loss (love how she terms it "rebalancing"). So I knew she'd be just the practitioner to help me. I am loving the way she is helping me end bad habits, learn about whole foods, and shift my body weight. Thanks so much, Em!"
