TIME stands for Trauma-Informed Mindful Eating. It’s a healing-centered framework that explores the intersection of nourishment, embodiment, and trauma. Rather than focusing on control or behavior correction, TIME emphasizes curiosity, compassion, and self-exploration to support a more empowered relationship with food and the body.

TIME is designed for both individuals and professionals. It’s ideal for anyone seeking to understand their food and body story more deeply, as well as practitioners—such as therapists, dietitians, coaches, and wellness providers—who want to bring a trauma-informed, mindfulness-based lens to their work.

Unlike programs that focus on behavior change, restriction, or willpower, TIME invites participants to explore the whybehind their patterns. It views food-related behaviors as adaptive responses rather than flaws, offering space for understanding rather than judgment.

The nine guiding principles form the foundation of the TIME framework. While each is explored in depth during the training, together they promote safety, self-awareness, nervous system regulation, choice, and embodiment in the healing process.

Participants will learn how trauma influences eating patterns and body image, develop interoceptive awareness (the ability to sense internal body cues), and gain tools to support themselves and others in making embodied, choice-driven decisions around nourishment and care.

No. The TIME Foundations Training is open to anyone interested in exploring their relationship with food and body. Many participants join for personal healing, while others attend for professional development.

No previous experience is required. The course is designed to meet participants where they are. 

No. While the course may offer healing insights and emotional relief, it isnot a substitute for therapy or medical treatment.It’s an educational and experiential framework that complements therapeutic, nutritional, or wellness work by providing trauma-informed, mindfulness-based tools for deeper self-understanding and embodiment.

The course typically includes:

1. Video lessons explaining key concepts and practices.

2. Guided mindfulness and interoceptive experiences.

3. Reflective journaling prompts and integration activities.

4. Live sessions for support, connection, and shared learning.

5. Downloadable resources and readings to deepen your understanding.

No. TIME is not about changing or controlling eating behaviors. Instead, it offers opportunities to explore why those behaviors exist and whether you’d like them to shift. You’re always the expert of your own experience, and every choice is respected. TIME integrates this understanding into every aspect of the framework—creating a space that honors lived experience, centers nervous system awareness, and supports self-agency.

Participants often describe increased self-trust, greater body awareness, reduced shame around food, and a stronger sense of agency. Professionals report improved confidence in supporting clients through a compassionate, trauma-informed lens.

You will have ongoing access to all downloadable course materials, allowing you to revisit the lessons and practices as often as you like. Video lessons will be available for a period of 8 weeks, through April 4th, and live sessions will not be recorded.
