The training is a groundbreaking body of work that is so needed in the world. Any approach to working with people in the realm of food, diet, and body would be incomplete without it! It has given me a much greater context for my own journey and allowed me to increase my compassion for myself and others. Professionally, I feel so much more confident in my capacity to provide value to my clients. It has provided me with great inspiration to create impactful messages to share in the world, which has attracted new clients! I have a deeper understanding of various challenges and more tools and places to go with my clients. The Eating Psychology Coach Certification Training will literally change your life! It’s an amazing community of thought leaders, and the content is well structured and easy to absorb. First class all the way.
Michelle Leath - Eating Psychology Coach
This is an amazing training for anyone looking to enhance or begin a coaching practice. It was absolutely worth the investment of time, energy and money… I would recommend this training to anyone looking to deepen their relationship with food, their body, and their purpose. I thought the content was very, very thorough, interesting, well presented and inspirational. It was well organized and easy to understand. I felt the notes were very helpful. The site was easy to navigate. The student support from the staff was absolutely there. I feel that the Institute thought of everything. I kept saying, they just think of everything from the content to the support. Very impressive!
Angela Freeman - Group Personal Trainer + Small Gym owner
The training truly changed my perspective on LIFE. I can now see food as something I nourish myself with, rather than just something I have to put into my body to keep going. I have started loving my body again, and giving myself permission to receive pleasure – I feel reborn! The training benefited me professionally by allowing me to be able to start a business on my own! Everyone who I’ve talked to about what I am studying is instantly enraptured and wants to become a client.
Melissa Story - Dance teacher + Eating Psychology Coach
I have received so much healing through this training that I feel like I am a more embodied whole functioning version of myself – better equipped to serve. I cannot wait to transition into a more full time coaching and counseling role. One of the most important aspects of this program that helped me decide to go through with it was the business coaching module. I’ve gone through a health Educator program which taught me a lot of information – but didn’t give the support as I required in how to start a business. I am so grateful for the IMMENSE amount of support and LOVE I have received as a student and as a blossoming leader in this Training.
Danielle LeBeau - Registered Nurse
It is hard to put into words why this training is worth doing! It was the greatest gift I’ve ever given myself, and I feel so much more connected to my purpose, truth, and clarity. It has helped me make sense of my life in a way that is freeing — realizing the commonalities and universal truth that I can share with others. Thank you for this gift that I can keep on giving! I had so many personal insights and heart-openings with the support and wisdom from the community. I would absolutely recommend the training to others!
Sean Svoboda - Neurofeedback Practitioner
The investment I put into this training was equal to the reward, wisdom, and change in career path that this training gave me. I was able to form irreplaceable connections with people who truly understand me. I evolved further along healing my relationship with food and also began helping others do the same. I have a solid ground of worksheets, audios, and tribe to take with me after the program. I know that I will forever be supported by the Institute for the Psychology of Eating and I’m so grateful. The training has personally helped me heal my relationship with food, but it’s still and always will be, a work in progress. More importantly I understand myself better and have more compassion towards my struggles with binge eating and emotional eating. The training has given me the tools to be more present, aware, and giving. It allowed me to change my career path, to do work that I love, to find my niche, to build my own business, to help heal the world through relationship with food, to help others who I compassionately understand, to become a deep listener, to slow down, to breathe deeply, to hold space for myself and my clients. Whether you are attracted to the training for personal development or to further your professional practice… it will do both. I don’t know one person that was disappointed or let down. It will further evolve you as a human being, and will change the way you look at the world and yourself. It’s the best personal development/leadership program I’ve ever taken, and is relatable at any adult age.
Macy Migchelbrink - Wellness Coordinator, Yoga Teacher, Eating Psychology Coach
The training helped me to ask the real questions around food, body image, and symptoms and it has given me a coherent language and guide to pursue this inquiry. This was the missing piece in my academic training. The training has benefited me personally by helping me tease out my own toxic belief around my relationship to food and body image. Professionally the training has given me a language, a direction, and the tools to transcend working at the symptom level of my patients. It has given me the opportunity and courage to communicate on a level of intimacy that I believe to be more transformational. I would recommend the Certification Training to others because I appreciate the concrete tools, the integrity of the work and the importance of working on a level that I believe people are hungry for.
Colleen Keene - Doctor of Chinese Medicine
During the many years I practiced as a personal trainer and nutritionist, my un-fulfillment with the nuances of “calories in and calories out” left me wanting to further explore my “purpose” in the realm of health and nutrition. So, when my partner suggested I sign up for the Eating Psychology Symposium, I enrolled in the Eating Psychology Coach Certification Training instead, and was offered more than I ever imagined. Studying with Marc David at The Institute for the Psychology of Eating has inspired me to be the best person I can be. It has given me confidence to inspire others through individual transformation and healing, and to love selflessly while embracing uncertainty. I have been exposed and held accountable through compassion and acceptance, and have learned how to affirm my wholeness while accepting my imperfections. This has allowed me to hold an open and loving space for my clients on their journey to reconnect with self, mission, and their goals. The content of the IPE Eating Psychology Training is rich with soul and authenticity, and beautifully weds the science of nutrition with the psychology of eating. In other words, it not only looks at what we eat, but how our thoughts, feelings, and beliefs affect us as eaters. The training is transformative, on both a personal and professional level. It has helped me to reestablish my “purpose” in this ever-changing ?eld of health and nutrition, empowered me to be more present in my relationship with my world, body, and food, and has ignited my relationships with my clients. I highly recommend this training if delving deeper empowers you, if transformation in self inspires you, and if integrity influences your action. It’s genuine, life-changing, and educational. I walk away transformed and am grateful that I leave with the confidence to transform others. In Growth…
Dameda J. Finney - Eating Psychology Coach
During the training, I really had the chance and took the time to look at myself. I feel so much more comfortable in my skin after these 8 months — freer, more hopeful, and happier…This is a movement, and I would be doing myself and the planet a dis-service by not sharing it. I am excited about life again! Professionally, I am having breakthroughs with clients, specifically around binging and chronic dieting that are blowing me away. People are actually working through these behaviors at such a faster rate than I’ve ever seen before. I would recommend the Certification Training to others because this information is so soulful and profound to those who eat, which is EVERYONE. I feel everyone could take this training and feel freer and more at peace — to come back home to body wisdom.
Erica Ingier - Eating Psychology Coach + Wellness Coach
The nutritional training I got in medical school was worthless. I asked every week for recommendations on managing weight and other medical issues. I saw one of the Institutes videos and had never seen anyone address this from a mind-body-spirit approach. The Training has transformed the way I practice and has given me tools to use in situations where I really didn’t know what else to offer. I have gotten amazing results! The Training has increased my satisfaction and my work and has made me excited to have conversations that I would never have had before. I would recommend the Certification Training to others as it is so totally transformational! I can’t say enough about it, and I would love to encourage others, especially doctors, to learn more!
Celedonia Yue MD - Physician
The training was worth doing as it allowed me to move easily into a new career. It gave me the opportunity to help others and has given me tremendous hope for my future. It’s a bit hard to put into words how much this training has benefited me personally because it’s been a catalyst for changing my entire life. It’s given me the confidence to move forward and the feeling that I can finally make the difference in the world that I know I came here to make. The training has allowed me to continue working, doing something that is fulfilling and qualifying. After becoming ill and having severe digestive difficulties I had to abandon my career as a chef and was really left without much hope about my future. I can honestly say that at 55 I’m as excited about my future as I was at 19! Thank you! Without reservation I would recommend this training to others, assuming that I feel that the person and the training are a good match. I have had 4 years of university and 2 years of culinary school, and this is by far the best educational experience I have ever had. I also feel that it’s a good value for the money because it allows someone to completely retrain for a new career in 8 months.
Lynn Jennings - Conscious Eating Coach
I have been searching for the information provided in this training most of my adult life. The training was worth doing on so many levels and has transformed the person I am in a very meaningful way. It gave me an opportunity to look at “my stuff” in a gentle and compassionate way. I am finally making forward movement in loving the body I have and developing a healthier relationship with food. Professionally, this was a fabulous complement to my life coach training and health coach training. I now have the tools and vocabulary to effectively work with and support women to love themselves and their body and develop a healthier relationship with food.
