Stressed to Nourished April
your first step to nourishing your nervous system and finding peace with food
Nourish your nervous system.
Quiet the food noise.
Find peace with food
In this online workshop, you will finally make sense of the science behind emotional eating. Plus, you’ll take home somatic tools to support your nervous system and begin to nourish yourself with more presence and ease.
I get how much the struggle with food steals from your life and robs you of self-trust and well-being.
And that you want to be at peace with food and do something right away.
What I have discovered for myself and the students I help daily is that completely transforming our relationship with food is possible, but it happens in several logical steps which create an inner transformative process.
To have the change you desire, you first need to understand the real reasons behind your emotional eating behaviors. The physiology adapted for survival and the physiology of nourishment express differently in our bodies, and flexibly navigating between the two takes education, self-knowledge and skill.
Once you know why you eat the way you do, you can start to let go of the shame, self-blame, and constant pressure to do better. Instead of dealing with symptoms, you can address the cause at the root. Instead of grasping at straws and hoping that a metabolic reset or new diet plan will finally help you find a way to shift your emotional eating habits, you can have a sure way to support your body, which allows you to create the conditions for successful and sensitive nourishment.
It was never about self control!
"I gained so much knowledge of how my body works in relationship to stress and food. I now know why I often engage in emotional eating or just deprive my self of food all together.
Galina presented the information in a very gentle and relatable way, which allowed me to have compassion for my self as I learned that my nervous system, stress level and emotions all have worked intricately together to create my current eating habits. It was never about self control."
Monica Catalan
It could be simpler than you think.
When you have the right key, unlocking the secret to changing your eating behaviors is possible.
Many people come to me thinking that they need to drastically change their life in order to free themselves from emotional eating.
But the truth is sudden and complete change doesn’t really happen with the wave of a magic wand – when we have years of suffering that has been numbed by restriction and overeating, the behaviors can’t disappear with a diet or mindset shift, no matter how great those look on the surface and how promising those before and after photos look. As a somatic therapist who specializes in disordered eating,
I know the kind of impact that early developmental trauma, overwhelming stress, sensory overload and lack of support have on the nervous system. With trauma and persistent pain, healing happens one step at a time without destabilizing the physiology.
I can assure you that your system can balance itself gradually and gently with the right tools and practices.
While this path takes a shorter time for some people and longer for others, once the trauma imprints and survival adaptations that were at the root of your symptoms start to dissolve, your food suffering also dissolves.
And now food can just be food.

I learned why I felt this way!
"The WHY is what motivates me! This workshop taught me my WHY! It was life changing to learn about vagus nerve regulation and how it relates to the reason I subconsciously made the choices I used to make!"

Here’s what I can promise.
There is no one magic hack or shortcut to undo years of food suffering.
Yet, daily I work with brave people who are learning and following the map I have created from my own decades of struggle and working with hundreds of people who struggle with food and who have been impacted by trauma.
In this live online workshop, you will get your own map and start your own journey to peace with food.
We will go on an inner journey
In this workshop you will find that your relationship with food is an intimate, messy and complex one - just like many early relationships in your life.
Each body tells a story.
A story about your early childhood, how you developed, the difficulties you overcame in the best way you could, and how your physiology adapted to the challenges of early and later life.
You will learn about the basics of nervous system regulation, the place of food in self-regulation, the place of food in the neurobiology of human connection, and its role in your successful (great job!) survival to this moment!
I will help you turn stressful meals into soulful and satisfying nourishment with a nervous system map.
I will show you the many ways that your nervous system habits have been shaping your relationship with food and draw a true and tested map for healing from the impact of the past, so that your body has a new path forward for nourishment, movement, ease and calm.
You will walk away with:
– Understanding the science that explains why you eat the way you do.
– Answers and insights into your own nervous system adaptations.
– Tools you can practice anywhere to balance your biology.
– Access to recorded practices to support yourself in learning and growth.
– And most importantly, a path to regaining your hope and reconnecting to your power.
Life-changing!
"Peace with food changed not just my relationship with food. My whole life has been transformed!"
Asia Raykova
It took away the shame
"Galina's approach to surround the whole topic with compassion has made this journey so much kinder.
Peace with food put me on a path of curiosity to note where my body was. And just in that, took away so much shame and self judgement around the drives for food."
