Hosted by
Dr Joanna North

The body positive weight loss group starts from where you are right now - how ever overweight or how ever much you are having a struggle with your body or your out of control eating. We start from acceptance of self now, leading on to observing eating patterns, addictions and eating tendencies such as comfort eating or discomfort eating. You dont have to be perfect to be in this group - you just have to want to live your best life, caring for yourself and feeling positive about your body. Weekly for ten weeks.
