Intuitive eating can feel daunting, unnerving. Often we feel like left to our own devices, our bodies would crave cookies, cake, candy and chocolate ALL THE TIME! Then when we add the stress of work, family and life to the mix emotional eating can send us awry. So what do we do? Enter, Claudia Wilson!
