After 30+ years of dieting, restrictive eating, over exercising, and having my weight fluctuate up and down by the same 30-60lbs over and over again, I hit a brick wall.  Enough was enough, I was sick and tired (physically & emotionally) of the constant struggle, to figure out what to eat, when to eat, how to eat. It had become a recurring theme of my life, this eternal search for the “right diet” or the “right exercise routine”, the one that was going to fix all my problems and allow me to “finally lose the weight for good”. The one that was going to allow me to feel good in my own skin. Each time I thought I had found the answer, I would feel great for a little while but life circumstances and obstacles would always come crashing back to me one way or another. 

It turns out that just as Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz had to learn “You’ve always had the power my dear, you just had to learn it yourself”, I had to learn that the answers and my power resided within myself, not in some external diet, “lifestyle”, plan or protocol that the current celebrity was promoting.

Just as the ability for YOU to reclaim your health and rebuild your relationship with your body is within YOU!

You were born with the ability to listen to your bodily signals for when you were hungry, full, tired, energized, and you were able to respond to those signals in a healthy manner. You cried when you were hungry and turned away from the breast or bottle when you were full.  You slept when you were tired, and played when you were energized. These are all innate abilities that you can re-learn to access and understand again.

Unfortunately, we live in a society where thinness is held as a hallmark of health and worthiness, and the “thinner is better” messages begin to shape your thinking from a young age. These messages are usually accompanied by a slogan for some product, plan, or protocol that promises to fix all your problems so that you can become worthy of love, attention, or some other form of reward. Subconsciously this begins to shut down the connection to your body, not only on a physical level, but also on an emotional and spiritual level. Learning to spot diet culture messages, challenge them, & discredit them is your first step to recognizing your inner wisdom, your intuitive knowing of what is best for your body, mind, heart, & soul.

Ruby Red Intuitive Health uses mindfulness techniques such as mindful eating, meditation & intuitive movement practices as well as psycho-social techniques like CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), Self-Inquiry, & Coaching to allow you to get off the dieting rollercoaster and reconnect with your body from a place of trust, respect, and acceptance. From this place of trust and self-love you are able to reclaim your health on your terms. You are able to move your body in ways that make you feel good instead of punishing. You are able to nourish yourself with foods that not only taste good but also are good for body, mind, & spirit. You’re self-esteem and confidence will skyrocket!
