Join Valerie Robinson, a local Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach, at Hole In The Wall Bagels on Sunday, March 23rd from 2:30-4:00pm for a gathering focused on building a positive, joyful relationship with whole, nourishing foods.
This workshop isn’t about rules or restrictions found commonly in diet culture — it’s about discovering what truly nourishes you by aligning your food choices with your intentions, listening to your body’s wisdom, and embracing the beauty of seasonal ingredients. Together, we’ll explore how to cultivate a more intuitive, easeful approach to nourishment — one that truly supports your well-being.
Topics will include ultra-processed foods and how to recognize them; tips for quickly reading and assessing nutrition information and ingredients on food labels; and ways to shop the bulk foods aisle at the Good Tern.
Whether you're a seasoned foodie or are looking to learn about healthy eating, we welcome folks to come with questions!
Date & Time: Sunday, March 23rd from 2:30-4:00pm
Location: Hole In The Wall Bagels, 754 Main Street, Rockland
Cost: FREE!
