Read what participants have to say about the class:<\/p>\n

\u201cEFL has been a transformational experience\u2026my relationship to food has changed dramatically.\u00a0 I actually think about food much less than before — now it’s rarely on my mind until I begin to experience hunger.\u00a0 And I am savoring my food infinitely more\u2026EFL embodies an intuitive, gracious approach to living, and I am captivated by the gentleness and kindness inherent in the process.\u201d
\n–Linda Dyer
\n\u201cIt is amazing that 10 weeks have gone past\u2026I will use the “make peace with food” for a long time to come, that has been the most successful tip. I don’t have forbidden food, or food that is “bad”. I can have it just in the quantity that will satisfy\u2026I thank you for the insight and the motivation.\u00a0 You have made this a successful experience that has changed my life.\u201d<\/p>\n
