NUTRITION

Host: Melissa Hemphill, regional director

This webinar addresses our special and complicated relationship to food. To the infant brain, mother, food, and love are all one beautiful experience.  This memory lives in every cell of our body and re-emerges throughout our lives.

Host: Melissa Hemphill, regional director

Life is possible through rhythm: orbits, biogeochemical cycles, heart beat, breath, sleep, menstrual cycles, and metabolism. Without rhythm, disorder and disease occur. This is as true for heart arrhythmias as it is for metabolism. If you feel lost or uncomfortable in your relationship with food, rhythm is a beautiful place to start taking action. Learn how to work with your innate metabolic rhythm and how sleep complements this important Mind-Body Nutrition Dimension. This webinar will provide you action steps that are immediately applicable to your life and your future motherhood transitions.

Kasey finishes the webinar describing her healing journey and the mantra she carries with her daily.
