find your freedom:
A 6 month online somatic group programme for binge eating recovery.
A supportive place to stop fighting yourself around food and build the safety, capacity, and support your body needs for binge eating to stop
Begins 29th July 2026
You don’t have to “fix yourself” to stop binge eating.
Most people assume binge eating ends when you finally get disciplined enough, but binge eating isn’t a discipline or willpower problem, it’s a regulation strategy.
It’s your nervous system trying to support you from pressure, overwhelm, loneliness, grief, exhaustion, emotional exposure and all the sensations your body doesn’t know how to hold yet. You don’t need to become a different person or change your whole identity.
You need to learn how to relate to your body differently.
And that kind of change happens through consistent support and practice over time.
That’s what these six months are for.
What does it mean to heal binge eating somatically?
It means we stop treating binge eating like the enemy, we start understanding its intelligent role in keeping us safe.
A binge usually begins with activation in the body; pressure, urgency, restlessness, or a sense that something needs to be released.
Eating becomes a way to soothe and settle that activation, it’s a way your nervous system supports you.
And once eating begins, thoughts often appear like:
“You’ve ruined it, again”
“I should be better than this”
“You’re disgusting”
All of which makes it harder to stop because the body enters the physiology of shame.
Restriction often follows afterwards, as the system tries to restore a sense of control, safety, or order. Over time, this becomes a cycle the body returns to automatically.
You didn’t chose it consciously, your nervous system learned that this is what helps you cope.
Somatic healing focuses on changing this at the root by helping your body build the safety and capacity it needs so binge eating no longer feels necessary.
When the nervous system has other ways to regulate, the urgency begins to soften.
And from there, real change becomes possible.
A lot of women have spent years trying to override their primal survival responses with logic. But the body doesn’t change through logic alone.
It changes through felt experience.
- learning to be with sensation without being propelled to food
- learning to create safety and choice without feeling like food is the only option
- learning to notice activation early
Somatic binge eating recovery is essentially this:
Building the capacity to be in your life without needing food to regulate your nervous system.
That’s the work.
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN //
WHAT YOU'LL LEARN //
Over 6 months together in Find Your Freedom you will learn how:
To trust your body and respond to its needs (without depending on food)
To understand what binge urges are actually made of (in the body)
To feel safer in relationships to express your boundaries and needs so that
To no longer people please your way through life
To work with urgency and cravings without fighting them
To build capacity for emotion and sensation and learn how to express it so that food doesn’t need to soothe it
Food directly impacts your nervous system
To reduce shame through safe witnessing and co-regulation
To build a relationship with food that isn’t loaded with fear, rules, or rebellion
Most of us grew up either overriding the body, ignoring it, or being scared of it.
In this space, you’ll learn how to relating to your body differently in order to see binge eating dissolve
WHY GROUP WORK?
Because binge eating thrives in isolation.
Shame thrives in secrecy, and shame is the foundation upon which binge eating develops.
Group work creates a different condition, one where:
- you’re not alone in the pattern
- you learn through being witnessed safely
- your system gets the experience of co-regulation
- you stop treating this as a private failure
While this work happens in a group, you are never required to share more than feels right for you.
You are invited to go at your own pace.
Some women speak often. Others spend time listening and observing - both are valid.
There is no right or wrong way to be here and nothing you need to perform or prove.
THE 6 MONTH ARC
This journey isn’t linear, but we do follow an arc.
Each phase builds on the last, allowing change to emerge in a way that feels steady and sustainable.
-
Binge eating doesn’t begin with food.
It begins in the nervous system.In this first phase, you will learn how to speak the language of your body.
You’ll begin to understand what happens inside your nervous system during stress, emotional overwhelm, loneliness, and pressure — and how binge eating became a way to regulate those states.
We will explore the biology of safety and survival, and help your body begin reconnecting to a sense of safety that isn’t dependent on controlling food, but exists within you.
This becomes the foundation for everything that follows.Description text goes here
-
Many women live disconnected from their bodies, or in quiet conflict with them.
This phase is about repairing that relationship.
You’ll learn how body shame develops, how it lives in the nervous system, and how it perpetuates binge eating patterns.
Through somatic practices, you will begin to relate to your body in a new way, not as something to fix, control, or escape from, but as something you can safely inhabit.
-
Food is often the body’s first and most reliable regulator.
We explore how binge eating functions biologically and emotionally, how it soothes activation, numbs overwhelm, and restores temporary balance.
You will learn to recognise what happens in your body before, during, and after the urge to binge.
Through this awareness, your nervous system begins developing new ways to regulate, so binge eating becomes less necessary over time.
-
Many binge eating patterns are connected to how we relate to others.
People-pleasing, emotional responsibility, and suppressing your own needs create internal pressure that the body must eventually release.
You will learn how these patterns live in the nervous system, and how they influence your relationship with food.
As you begin restoring your capacity, recognising your limits, and reconnecting to your own needs, your nervous system no longer has to rely on binge eating as a release valve.
-
By this stage, your nervous system has begun building more safety and capacity.
You will begin practicing new ways of responding to activation, emotional discomfort, and urges in real time.
You’ll learn how to stay with sensation without becoming overwhelmed, and how to support your body without abandoning yourself.
This is where binge eating patterns begin to loosen more naturally, because your nervous system has other options available.
-
The final phase is about allowing the changes to stabilise.
Your nervous system learns through repetition, safety, and lived experience.
This month supports the integration of everything you’ve learned, so your relationship with food and your body feels more steady, predictable, and peaceful.
From this place, binge eating no longer holds the same role in your life.
Not because you forced it to stop.
But because your body no longer needs it in the same way.
what’s included
3 live calls a month
Teaching + somatic practice + coaching + integration.
Resource Library / Portal
Session replays and The Food Freedom Framework curriculum with teachings and practices you can return to throughout and after the course ends.
Private Community Space
Support between sessions. A steady, consistent and reliable place of support so that you’re not doing this alone.
We’re not trying to create a life where you never feel an urge again.
But instead we use urges as information to get to the source of what the body needs. Through this course:
urges become less intense and less frequent
you catch the pattern earlier
you have more choice and feel like you are in control again
binge eating stops being your primary regulator
food becomes more neutral instead of something you think about 24/7
your nervous system becomes more stable
That’s what “freedom” looks like. The ability to make choices that you want to, instead of feeling like something else is taking over you.
“Alex helped me to create a relationship with my body that I believed impossible but became my reality
On days when our relationship feels difficult I can give my body the tenderness she deserves. I didn’t think it was possible to love my body but now I know that it is. I love her and I know she has always loved me.
I feel like I am in a budding new relationship with my body, giddy with love and discovering so many things about her for the first time”
— Catherine Cicuttini

You might choose this option if you:
Have a history of complex trauma and want dedicated space to work with it safely
Want support to fully integrate the group learning and put it into practice
Need a private space to be fully heard on experiences that feel too personal to share in a group, yet are essential to your healing
Not sure which option is right for you? Book a call here to explore the best fit for your journey.
Upgrade to the Group + 1:1 Hybrid
For those of you who want deeper guidance and a space to fully work with your personal patterns and trauma, adding 6 private 1:1 sessions gives extra support to explore the parts of your experience that need more attention, care, and a private, intimate setting.
The group programme provides incredible depth, but some experiences naturally require more space than a group setting allows. The hybrid option gives you the chance to experience both; the support of healing within community, alongside the personalised attention of 1:1 sessions.
Clients who have chosen the hybrid option have seen the most consistent progress and sustainable results.

Not at all. You are invited to share, but never required to.
Some women speak often. Others spend time listening and observing.
Both are valid and it’s important you listen and stay curious to your needs.
-
Most approaches focus on controlling behaviour.
This work focuses on changing the nervous system patterns that drive binge eating in the first place.
Binge eating is not a discipline problem. It is a regulation strategy.
Women who have spent decades in talk therapy, been part of OA and the 12 step programme along with many other binge eating groups, have all said that this is the first place they have become free.
As your nervous system develops more safety and capacity, binge eating naturally begins to lose its urgency. -
Yes.
Many women who join have struggled for 10, 20, or 30 years.
This work does not rely on willpower. It works by helping your body discover new ways to regulate, so binge eating is no longer needed in the same way.
Change happens at the level where the pattern was created.
-
This is very normal.
Most women arrive feeling both hope and hesitation.
Binge eating often develops in isolation. Entering a supported space can feel unfamiliar at first.
You will be guided slowly, and nothing is forced.
Safety develops over time.
-
Yes.
Binge eating, restriction, and emotional eating are all ways the nervous system attempts to regulate.
This programme addresses the underlying patterns that drive all of them.
-
The group will be capped at 15 people. The group is intentionally kept small.
This allows the space to remain safe, relational, and properly supported.
-
If you’ve tried therapy, diets, intuitive eating, mindset work, or coaching and nothing has lasted, it makes sense that you’d feel this way.
But this doesn’t mean you are broken.
It means you were given tools that didn’t address where binge eating actually lives.
Most approaches focus on behaviour, thoughts, or food rules.
But binge eating is driven by the nervous system.It’s a physiological pattern, not a logical one.
You cannot think your way out of something your body is using to regulate itself.
This work doesn’t try to force you to stop binge eating.
It helps your body develop enough safety and capacity that binge eating is no longer needed in the same way.Many women who join arrive feeling exactly as you do now. Over time, they begin to experience something they haven’t felt in years; space, choice, and relief.
Not because they forced themselves to change, but because their body no longer needed the pattern to survive.
You are not broken. Your body has been trying to protect you.
And protection patterns can change, when the right support is in place.
-
This space is for women and non-binary people who feel that being in a women-centred space would feel supportive and aligned for them.
This is a space where your relationship with your body, food, and nervous system can be explored in safety, without judgment or pressure.
