GRAB A CUPPA AND LEARN WITH MONIQUE
Hi friend! I’m Monique Jephcote, accredited practising dietitian and founder of CFIE. I created this website to exist as an education platform where you can learn freely about Intuitive Eating, why diets don’t work & the alternative options that exist for you to prioritise your health without engaging in dieting. There is a plethora of free information on this site surrounding these topics, so brew yourself a cuppa, sit down, and have a sift through–I hope you find some insights along the way!

SO WHAT EXACTLY IS INTUITIVE EATING?
We’re so glad you asked! Intuitive Eating is an evidence-based framework designed to help people in moving toward a positive relationship with food, movement, their bodies and selves. Through our Intuitive Eating program, you will learn to:
Re-establish trust in your body’s innate cues of hunger and fullness.
Discover what foods satisfy you and feel good within your unique body.
Assist you in learning how to move in enjoyable ways (if you want to!)
Develop long-lasting body respect and kindness. We believe in breaking cycles!
HOW DO I KNOW I’M READY TO START MY INTUITIVE EATING JOURNEY?
DO YOU EVER…
- Excessively think about the way food will affect your body?
- Feel guilt or other negative emotions after eating certain foods?
- Let your body weight, shape or size define any proportion of your worthiness or ability to be loved?
- Feel confused about what, when, and how much to eat?
- Feel sick of all the diets you’ve tried before, but the thought of accepting your body seems really scary?

AND WOULD YOU RATHER…

- Re-learn how to listen to your body and nourish it well?
- Feel heard, understood, and worthy of love—inside and out?
- Be helped in a way that doesn’t perpetuate harmful mindsets, in a safe, guided and supportive environment?
RESONATING WITH US?
If any of those previous statements resonated with you, Intuitive Eating can absolutely help you move towards a better relationship with food, movement, your body, your unique self.
The Intuitive Eating approach is for everyone. For the ‘self-starters’, you can take yourself through this process individually. We recommend purchasing the Intuitive Eating book & Intuitive Eating workbook by Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch.
