“You're not broken. You're beautiful and lovable just as you are.”
In today’s episode of Nourishing Thoughts, we are joined by Dr. Natalie Chua, a Clinical Psychologist, Meditation and Yoga Teacher, and Certified Mindfulness and Self-Compassion Teacher.
Dr Chua’s approach to eating disorder recovery is embodied, relational, collaborative and holistic. She works sensitively with her client's cultural and social backgrounds, with careful consideration of the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual factors that contribute to who they are and how they experience the world.
She combines evidence-based treatments with the expressive arts, and contemplative and somatic practices such as self-compassion, mindfulness, and yoga.
In today's episode, Dr Chua will share her experience with an eating disorder as well as her journey to recovery. She will also explain the importance of self-compassion and it’s fundamental role in healing.
