At the end of April I attended the Obesity and Food Addiction Summit, held just outside of Seattle, Washington. One of the central mandates of the summit was to: "Present the latest scientific research related to food addiction in an effort to raise awareness about the potential for sugar, fat and refined foods to be […]
For the binge or compulsive eater: Could you be addicted to sugar?
The simplest hallmark of addiction is whether or not the substance or behavior interfering with the rest of your life – whether that is your work life, your family life, your social life or all of the above. For example, have you ever spent an inordinate amount of time at work having snacks, or thinking […]
Note from Liz
Working on You Means More to Give Others Recently, I facilitated a workshop on self-care. When I mentioned this to other people, their reaction was typically something along the lines of “I don’t I had time for that!” These days, especially as people are trying to weather the storm of our current economy, […]
Lots of new workshops and events going on!

The free workshop will […]

A personal note from Sandee Nebel
Sandee Nebel, MS, Licensed Mental Health Counselor I couldn't agree more. December seems to be all about the holidays and eating (or NOT eating). January is the start of the new year and has a feeling of renewal, with February continuing that mood with a dollop of love thrown in for good measure. […]
The many gifts of stillness
Where do you find your stillness? We have so many beautiful places outside in central Florida to choose from…this photo is of Mead Gardens in Winter Park. March is the perfect opportunity to explore stillness and all of the gifts it offers. Understandably, there can be a lot of fear about getting quiet; […]

To unwrap the gifts of stillness in your own life this March, try these suggestions: 1. Start small – Set a timer for one minute and try to be still. It might not seem worth it, but one minute can do a lot and it will start you on this vital practice. You can […]
