The Conscious Eating Community
Joyful and empowered relationships to eating and emotion through mindfulness, recipes, and community
Conscious Eating Community
Does this sound familiar?
- You've tried lots of diets but they haven't stuck and your eating behaviors and weight is an endless source of frustration
- You've had stretches of healthy eating but want to have better food prep and cooking routines at home
- You struggle with negative self-talk and body image
- You like how you feel when you meditate but are lacking consistency
- Your eating behaviors are tied up with your emotions in a way you don't like and you want to have more emotional mastery
You are not alone. We've been there too.
What is the Conscious Eating Community?
Our community is a space for chronic dieters who are ready to try something different. We bring together people with the shared aspiration of a healthier and more joyful relationship with their eating, body, and emotions. We support our members in making empowered food choices aligned with their own values, toward living their most authentic, satisfying, and joyful lives in service to the world and others. Members of our community learn science-backed meditation and mindfulness techniques that deeply transform their lives. They become comfortable and inspired with food prep and cooking in way that supports a feeling of vitality and joy. They join with others along the same path in gatherings filled with warmth, fun, and meaningful connection.
Meet The Community Hosts
Katie and Annette met in 2019 through a program for weight loss and managing food addiction. Both of them naturally fell into leadership roles within that community, Katie with her recipe blog and Annette with her youtube channel bringing mindful eating techniques to self described food addicts.
As they continued transforming their own relationships with food and weight, they noticed that they were attracting similar kinds of people to their platforms; folks who want to heal relationships to food, eating, and weight, and have a deep desire for joy, inner stability, and freedom.
In early 2020 they realized they needed to create something magical together. They teamed up to create the Conscious Eating Community, so that they could share valuable tools for growth and empowerment and harness the power of a community of people seeking to master something meaningful together. They make a kick-ass team and are both blown away on a daily basis by the amazing people who continue to show up to their community.

A Vibrant Community
We can't master something as complex as our eating and relationship to food without the support and inspiration of others. Witnessing others moving along a similar path inspires us, reminds us of our intentions and helps us to keep coming back, validates our struggles, sparks new insights, provides a mirror for feedback and self-awareness, and allows for abstract tools and practices to come to life in other people’s experience so that we can apply them in our own lives.
Through regular interaction with other community members with the same aspirations as you, you'll be inspired and lifted up by others who are implementing mindfulness tools in creative ways, cooking healthy and delicious food, and who understand whatever struggle you might be facing. You'll benefit beyond measure by surrounding yourself with others who are ready to support you through it just as much as they are ready to celebrate your journey with you.
Weekly Community Connection Calls
Each week we host a lightly structured weekly community call to check-in and connect with each other, and set intentions for the week ahead.
Exclusive Workshops & Courses
Each month we curate fantastic workshops, events, and courses connected to a monthly theme which our community explores together. We usually run about 4 workshops/month, usually on Saturday mornings. Examples of past workshops include Transforming Habit Energy, Meditate & Create, 5Rhythms Movement, Healing Food Relationships Through the Power of Story, Freedom from the Power of Cravings, The 6 Tastes of Ayurveda: Maximizing Meal Satisfaction, Seasonal Eating to Benefit Health, Internal Family Systems (Parts Work) and so much more!

Member Testimonials
"I'm amazed at the amount of self-discovery that seems to be unfolding after just one week in this community. Katie, Annette and this community are the best gift I could give myself for the coming year." - Liz
"What a mind blowing first week this has been. Can't believe my good luck (and divine intervention!) to have found this community. Katie and Annette, your creation here is obviously one of love, talent, wisdom/experience, and devotion to being of service. Not to mention the great relief I'm feeling to not have"rules" to rebel against and to experience the non ego, open hearted way you both show up." - Deb
"You will never encounter any of the subversive messages to lose more, to be thinner, that your value does center partly on your weight, etc. I, too, became obsessed with the scale, with the size clothes I wore, and though at "goal" weight (though perhaps not really goal since it was nowhere near the French Formula!) I was Anxious, Thin, and Imprisoned. You will find true freedom here, and the joy and safety to share with people who are truly accepting, and do so with open arms" - Madeleine
"Tonight for the first time I wrote down what I will cook for my family and eat for myself completely painlessly... joyfully really. I was excited about the cooking I would do. I think that the attitude in this community of trusting myself rather than monitoring my motives has started to sink in to my being. Thank you. These words do not do justice to the big step this feels like. I have so much respect for everyone and grateful to be benefiting from your journeys!" - Eve
"I love the underpinnings of this group, that we have cultivating community, encouragement for daily mindfulness practices, and leanings towards nourishing healthy food. All foundations for a thriving life." - Jayne
"Since joining this community about 2 weeks ago I have learned so much. Thanks for everything." - Pat

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this an eating program?
No, this is a community platform, where members support each other in up-leveling their eating and relationship with food, body, and emotions using whatever methods and resources they feel drawn to. We support members with mindfulness tools, food prep, healthy habits, and connecting with one another.
Q: Are there eating rules in Conscious Eating Community?
None. We believe that YOU are the best expert on what works for you and we do not encourage or discourage any particular ways of eating. Our focus is on supporting you as you explore your relationship with food and eating, and on helping you tap into your own wisdom to discover what foods and ways of eating best serve you.
Q: What's the time commitment needed to benefit from this community?
Our typical offerings are designed to be pretty quick but powerful additions to your week (5-20 minutes per day).
