A continuing education week-long retreat at Green Mountain at Fox Run designed for health professionals, including nurses, dietitians and nutritionists, social workers, counselors, and health educators.*
Do you:
- Want to give more to yourself and your clients than settling for “eat less and exercise more?”
- Self-medicate by overeating? Manage stress by resting on the couch on your days off?
- Believe there’s a better way to live a balanced lifestyle to achieve what you and your clients want?
- Want to recharge your mind, body and spirit so you feel good and can give your clients your all?
We’ve always known that as caretakers of the world, women find it difficult to make themselves a priority. From the beginning, healthcare professionals have represented a large percentage of the women we see at Green Mountain. While these women have come seeking weight management and self-care solutions, they have also expressed greater concerns. “How can I teach health to my patients if I can’t take care of myself?” And, “How can I be of better service to others?”
That’s why we’ve created this special workshop just for you. To help you practice what you teach.
If you’re a female health professional who wants greater health and balance in your own life, you don’t want to miss this opportunity to experience a different approach to women’s wellness that, based on 40 years experience, can lead to true health for yourself and your clients.
Program Highlights:
- Identify emotional eating patterns and learn how to manage the emotions and stress that drive overeating.
- Understand the non-diet approach and how to reconnect to the body through intuitive eating.
- Discover the many benefits of joyful moving. Find ways to incorporate more activity into your life and your patients’ lives at home and at work.
- Create a tool kit of self-care resources to support you and your patients or clients to manage stress healthfully.
- Collaborate with like-minded colleagues to identify creative ways of introducing these strategies in your patient and client encounters.
- Design individual plans to support meaningful long-term lifestyle change.
“At Green Mountain, I discovered the skills I needed to bring healthy practices into my chaotic life. I believe the knowledge I gained helped me avoid a lot of common professional pitfalls – pushing our bodies too far and too fast without taking the time to nourish them. Having a nurse who is healthy improves the quality and safety of the entire patient experience.”
