A half day workshop

During the workshop, you will practice being present with more mindful awareness in a curious, non-judgmental way that can improve wellbeing, relieve stress, help reduce chronic pain, and ease digestive issues. We will explore aspects of mindful eating beyond the act of consuming a meal by cultivating gratitude which can boost immunity and mood and by​ identifying and honouring your personal values around food and eating.
During this 4 hour workshop, we will provide practical tools to help you make these practices part of your daily life.

Shauna Hill has been a registered dietitian nutritionist for over 20 years. At the start of her career she spent several years working with community nutrition education programs in New York at Cornell University. She met people from many walks of life who had varied strengths and limitations to making healthy choices. This experience was foundational to becoming skilled at tailoring nutrition recommendations to individual needs. It also reinforced her belief that mindful eating is key to both enjoyment of food and long-term health.
After working in New York, she transitioned to providing clinical nutrition expertise in healthcare facilities as well as training dietetics, medical and pharmacy students in nutrition. In 2019, Shauna started Shauna Hill, LLC to provide women with practical support for their wellness goals through classes, courses and personal consulting. She helps women identify their wellness priorities, provides relevant evidence-based nutrition information, and then establishes a personalized wellness plan.
​
With over two decades of experience as a dietitian, her passion is helping people find practical solutions for making food choices that nourish, energize, and support their lifestyle.Shauna has also been a Master Gardener since 2018 and has been studying, cultivating and using herbs nutritionally and medicinally since 2019.
"Women have a large capacity to care for and nurture others. However, this intense nurturing can lead to exhaustion for women. I want to support them to nurture themselves in a sustainable way. Mindful practices can nourish bodies, minds, emotions, and soul with practical methods. So that whatever a woman's individual health goals are—more energy, less pain, increased mobility, aging well, or weight loss/gain—she can maintain her own health and well-being while she nurtures others." - Shauna Hill www.shaunahillnutrition.com

Testimonials
"Shauna, I really appreciate your posts. So true to life and thought provoking. They give me inspiration! We are all on this journey to health and it is well worth it."
Michele L., USA
​
"I had never done any of these practices before and to be honest I was a little nervous as it was new to me. I loved it and felt so soothed and relaxed. I didn't realise how tired I was until I gave myself some time to relax."
Foluke Akinlose MBE, Founder of Precious for Women of Colour--on retreat in Portugal, 2018
​
"I took the Mindful Meal Planning Class with Shauna Hill and I really thought it was helpful. The information Shauna shared about how to take my family's favorite meals a tweak them to make them healthier and more balanced to give us the nourishment and energy our bodies need has made a big difference for us. My family loves still having their favorite things and I feel better knowing they are getting the nutrients they need.
"I also appreciated the handouts she shared, one of them specifically was on planning meals for the week and it included a section about the activities for that day. This has been a huge help for our family, often we would plan meals and not realize we had an appointment or meeting. This would throw off our meal plan and we'd end up picking something up in a drive thru. That simple little addition to the meal planning sheet has helped our family immensely."
Sarah S., USA
"I cannot recommend highly enough, for people--and especially women--to practice with Leigh, if they have the opportunity. Her grace, calm presence and generous compassion nourishes us on many levels. I cannot wait to see what she shares next with the world."Samantha Meikle, London, 2020
