Frequently Asked Questions:

When time does the program start and what are the dates?
The program starts on Sunday March 6th and meets Sundays until June. We meet LIVE at 11AM (PST ) for 12 weeks. We take two weeks off in between for integration.
If you can’t make the live meeting, it will be recorded for you to watch later.
How are the live meetings structured? Will I get one to one time?
The live meeting will be 60 minutes. We will start with a review of that week’s topic, followed by a group discussion, laser coaching, and time for individual Q&A.
Laser coaching allows you to bring your own questions to the group and Karen will coach you individually within the group. Each member can participate in laser coaching but it’s optional.
What is the time requirements for the program?
At the minimum, it’s one hour if you only show up to the live group meetings. If you watch the videos and do the worksheet in the modules (these are sent out to you each week), then you’ll need another hour to complete these exercises each week. About 2 hours total each week to get the most benefit from the program.
Can I complete this course at my own pace?
It’s technically not a self-paced course, although you’ll have access to the modules and can go at your own pace. You’ll get the most out of the program by meeting in the live groups calls. If you get behind in the course or need to skip a week or two, that’s not a big deal since you’ll have access to the modules and the recorded meetings.
What if I want to lose weight?
It’s super normal to want to lose weight if you are drawn to learning about intuitive eating. It’s also such a normal desire in our weight obessed culture as well. While we are moving away from dieting, we can still talk about this desire to lose weight in a safe and non-shaming container. You’ll learn how to put your desire to lose weight on the back burner so that you can begin to accept your here and now body.
I’m struggling with an eating disorder, can I take this course?
This course is best for those who have at least 6 months into their recovery from an eating disorder. If you are currently working with an eating disorder therapist and or eating disorder dietitian, you may be able to take this course. It’s not a substitute for individual therapy but can certainly complement your recovery. Reach out to Karen if you have specific questions.

There standard investment for the program is $1200. Equity investment is $597 (limited spots), Standard Plus is $1,797.  Affordable payment plans are available and Scholarships available (please email Karen)
