WHOLE HEARTED WEIGHT LOSS
WITH Dr. Aveen Banich
PAMELA WALSH
We know as women, the past few years have been a challenge like no other. We also know that when our cups our filled and we are energized by connection, we can more easily sustain and encourage our families, our friends and the world around us. When we feel supported, we can move mountains.
Thru simple food rules, managing your mind, breath, reflection and meditation we will slow down and create a spaciousness often missing in our busy daily lives. Whole Hearted Weight Loss is not about doing more but rather, pausing, listening and resourcing the innate strength within each of us to create the change you desire.
Create a simple and life long plan to eat in a way that serves your body
Give you sustainable results in losing weight, living your purpose and feeling more vital in your body and heart.
Feel your feelings instead of eating them
Remember that you are a powerful woman capable of the change you desire.

My experience with Aveen and her program, Whole Hearted Weight loss, is one that helped me beyond measure. I did drop weight, but most importantly the static in my mind around food dissipated and intuitive eating took over. Aveen directs her clients towards the bigger picture at hand that leads to weight loss and freedom from the mental ties that pull one towards unhealthy habits and over eating. She guides towards a remembrance of our oneness with the universe, which ultimately results in grounding. Weight loss with Aveen was a delightful side note to the entirety she offers.
I was looking for something more than a diet, I was looking for a wayto have a healthy relationship with food. Dr. Aveen Banich’s Whole Hearted Weight Loss was more than I could have ever hoped to be part of. This is a special group like no other. I lost 22 lbs in 8 weeks. I didn’t “diet”, I turned around the way I thought about food, the group and Dr. Banich turned around the way I thought about food. I found myself looking in my pantry one evening and it hit me suddenly that I wasn’t hungry, I was bored! It was something talked about in one of our group sessions and it may be normal for some people, but for me it was life changing. Being in this group led to bigger and better things for me in my life as well.
I lost 10 pounds during my time in Whole Hearted Weight Loss. The pounds just"fell" off. Aveen suggested a plan that was simple and attainable for me to follow. The weekly check ins helped to keep me accountable and going in the right direction. I gained so much inner confidence and alignment while losing the weight that was no longer serving me. Thank you Aveen for this amazing group!
