About the Program

THE METHOD

What is
Somatic Eating®?

Created by Stephanie Mara Fox, PhD (in progress), MA. Somatic Eating® blends Somatic Psychotherapy, Nervous System Regulation, Developmental and Attachment Theories, Trauma Recovery, and Nutritional Science to help you understand food and body image impulses as your body’s way of communicating uunmet needs, undigested trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and nutritional imbalances.

Food behaviors are seen as wise adaptive responses to past trauma and unconscious attempts at re-establishing safety and security in the body.

Through somatic, nervous system, attachment, and nutritional explorations, you’ll learn to speak the language of your body, to attune to both physical and emotional hungers, so you can restore trust with your body and feel safe, secure, and satiated.

NUTRITIONAL SCIENCE
Evidence-based nourishment that honors your body

Somatic Eating® teaches how to interpret food and body image coping mechanisms as body communication that is relaying:

nervous system states
undigested past trauma
somatic memories
unmet childhood needs
attachment wounds
internalized beliefs
nutritional deficiencies

"Food feels like an invitation. Cravings are information. Eating has become a chance to replace shame with curiosity."

"I truly feel that this program was the missing piece of my recovery puzzle. I understood the academic reasons behind my eating, trauma, etc but I didn't understand why my body kept choosing foods and quantities that ended up making me feel so lousy. This program was the 'how' I felt was missing from modalities like Intuitive Eating or other 'find food peace' programs I've tried in the past. I have so much more compassion for myself after a lifetime of self-loathing. Thank you, thank you, a million times — thank you."
