Nutrition Workshops with Grace Goodwin Dwyer

The standard nutrition advice women and new parents receive is confusing, contradictory, and shaming. You’re searching to get the answers you need – but maybe feeling information-overload in the process. We're thrilled to share our collaboration with Grace Goodwyn Dwyer, MS, MA, RD, IBCLC to offer workshops that present a kinder and more effective approach to nutrition during motherhood.

Grace is a Registered Dietitian who specializes in nutrition counseling for parents and children. With a weight-neutral, intuitive eating-based approach, Grace helps parents tune into their needs and reduce stress around nutrition. She embraces pragmatic strategies for people with full lives. ​

Grace has spent her whole career helping women to better understand their personalized nutrition needs. With a strong background in maternal nutrition as well as lactation, her workshops will support you with warmth and expertise. You'll also have a community to connect with as we explore nutrition for ourselves and for our families.

Intuitive Eating for Families: A Workshop Series
How to help your kids - and yourself - reject diet culture and have a happy, healthy relationship with food & body. 

If food feels tricky, you’re not alone: with social media *everywhere* and the rising prevalence of disordered eating, so many parents are asking "How can I instill a healthier approach to nutrition in my children?" Intuitive Eating for Families is a virtual workshop series that answers that question. 

Intuitive Eating for Families is a 6-session biweekly virtual workshop series for parents of young children (infants through school age) who want to create a positive food and body culture at home. If you're stressed and overwhelmed about struggles over sweets, picky eating, and what "healthy" really means, this series will help you find confidence and calm around food. 

Led by a Registered Dietitian who specializes in maternal and childhood nutrition, participants will learn exactly how to think and talk about food in a way that is both empowering and accurate. 

Meetings will involve education mingled with rich discussion and be held every other week for 60 minutes. This is a closed cohort of individuals to facilitate deeper sharing and maximum growth, as we build upon what we learned in prior weeks. 

Through this Intuitive Eating for Families series you’ll receive:

- Evidence-based nutritional guidance for both adults and children 
- Tools to navigate real life challenges related to food and body image 
- Hands-on exercises to implement between sessions, to put thoughts into action
- Connection and camaraderie with other parents 
- Regular email check-ins and the opportunity to ask questions between sessions ​

Yes, this series is open to all caregivers who want to learn more gentle nutrition and raising intuitive eaters.

How do I access this series?
We'll meet weekly via Zoom (link sent in advance).

What if I cannot make every session?
We'll record and share sessions as needed to group members who have a conflict and need to miss a week. 

How many people will be in the workshop? 

Each workshop will have between 4-8 participants. ​

What if I changed my mind? Can I get a refund?
Refunds (minus a processing fee) are available up to two weeks ahead of the start date. Cancellations made between two weeks and one week before the start of the circle receive a 50% refund. No refunds are available after one week prior to the start date. 

What if I need accommodations for a disability?
We strive to host circles that are inclusive, accessible spaces for all mama-identifying people, including those with disabilities, to engage in. If you have an accessibility need please mention it in the registration form and we'll follow up with you directly. 

What if the times don't work for me?
