USD$225
A workshop for Dietitians and Therapists to build skills in navigating conversations, interactions and tricky moments - with clients, colleagues, anyone - with greater insight, presence and skillfulness. Focussing primarily on the practitioner experience (with skills you can share with your clients too!), we will be having important conversations about
WHY our presence matters
HOW we can cultivate specific types of awareness which makes a difference and
WHAT are the practical skills we can take into everyday practice and life with us.
What to Expect
Bringing together the important topics of Mindfulness and Body Image, you will leave this workshop feeling refreshed, confident and more capable of bringing your best into each and every contact you have with clients and colleagues.
Know exactly what to try when you're feeling sooooo "over it", and using your "tuning in skills" you'll be better equipped to handle those tough conversations around food, eating and body image.
Meet lots of people who share the same dilemmas as you, and will have your most burning questions answered. We'll dig into some tricky topics, have lots of discussion and definitely get into some practice! I'll aim to provide an environment where we can nudge your edges & support you to explore ways to elevate, deepen and broaden your skills.
Dive into one of my favourite topics of "integration" and how mindfulness practices (hint: it's not just about sitting on a cushion!) supports both our, and our clients healing, with particular emphasis on it's application with people we see who really struggle with their body image.
Geek on out with some of the research and I'll be sharing with you specific tools, skills and resources you can take with you into practice right away.
Sounds all too serious? Nah! We'll definitely have fun. Guaranteed.
You can expect this workshop to definitely be steeped in weight and body inclusive Health At Every Size (R) principles, no exceptions. All bodies are welcome (and please reach out to make sure we support you in any body inclusive way eg. seating, accessibility, dietary requirements)
