about

I genuinely enjoyed Gila’s intuitive eating workshop.  I have struggled with accepting my weight and parts of myself throughout my life and thought that joining this workshop would help me work on accepting my body and making peace with food.  I am so happy and proud to say that this workshop has provided me with everything I hoped and more. This deep and transformative experience has helped me make peace with food and my eating habits, accept myself, and be compassionate to myself.  I am so excited to continue using all the tools, methods and handouts Gila gave me to continue my journey on intuitive eating, self-acceptance and self-compassion.

I learnt so much from working with Gila and attending Gila’s course.  From listening to my bodies cues, processing emotions, and using tools to avoid bingeing. I’m still on my journey to learn how to eat the right way for my body and I feel Gila is helping me get there. Thank you Gila for your warmth, dedication, and understanding.

 "Besides for Gila being an excellent dietitian, she is also an exceedingly kind hearted person. Her ability to empathize and accept each person as they are makes the healing process much easier and doable . Relearning to love yourself, takes a lot. And If you are looking for a passionate, warm person to help you through that journey , Gila is your girl."

​"Before working with Gila, I beat myself up constantly about what I ate and what I didn’t eat. Food and diet was a vicious cycle. Today, I feel better about myself. While I realize that I am a work in progress, I have a much healthier attitude towards food and life. I have learned how to listen to my body and internal cues in terms of when I am full and when I am just looking for a distraction or emotionally eating. 

Thank you Gila for opening my eyes, heart, head (and stomach) to intuitive eating and intuition in general. It makes a world of a difference every moment."

​"Working with Gila has been a pleasure! She has changed my relationship with food and my relationship with myself. I used to believe in so many different diets but through IE I learned a whole new approach that makes much more sense. I have made a commitment not to beat myself up if I have a treat and to better understand and listen to my body’s signals instead. I am much more aware of my surroundings (not just my food) thanks to IE and it makes life richer! Thank you Gila for bringing so much positivity into my life!"

"Gila created an open, warm, and safe environment where women could feel free to express with honesty their relationship with food. She deeply listened and provided feedback in an non intrusive, non pressurized way which enabled each person to believe in the possibility to change. Gila presents a philosophy and lifestyle that is so critical to women of all ages in our present day to know about- it can help heal us in all ways."

"Gila was very helpful in teaching me how to apply the principles of intuitive eating to my unique life circumstances (shabbos, kashrus, pregnancy, etc.). I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to figure out how intuitive eating can be a part of their lives, and would like someone who understands the frum lifestyle to guide them."

"I have personally attended 3 of Gila Glassberg’s intuitive eating workshops and each one of them was an amazing opportunity to share with other like-minded women ideas about getting out of the diet mentality and really tapping into our bodies intuitive understanding of what it needs for nourishment. Gila’s classes are well organized and she shares personal anecdotes that allowed me to feel connected to her growth process, and to empower me to make my own path in my own time. She is not pushy and she answers all questions and is so understanding and empathetic. Not to mention the delish refreshments she prepares!!! I would definitely continue to attend intuitive eating workshops, as well as continue to learn more about the foundation of the intuitive eating principles and how they pertain to my journey towards a healthier and happier me!!"

 ​"As part of my undergraduate course on Eating Disorders, I thought it crucial to introduce the idea of intuitive eating to my students. Gila joined our class for the day and gave a great lecture on the nuts and bolts of intuitive eating. She explained what intuitive eating is and provided a clear outline of the principals of IE. The wealth of her knowledge was apparent as she answered questions from each student. It was a great addition to the class and we all learned a lot! Thank you Gila!"

"Working with Gila has been an empowering experience for me.  She helped me become aware of issues which have been causing my “disordered eating” for several years . Not only does she have a vast knowledge, but also provided me with many practical and easy to implement techniques in order  to change my mindset and habits. She brought to my attention the important role of self care and self worth  in creating a healthy lifestyle.  She maintained a high level of professionalism while being extremely relatable and easy to talk to . I highly recommend Gila to anyone looking to improve their quality of life. "

 My experience with Gila was awesome! Her succinct, clear guidance was exactly what I needed to help me properly regulate my eating habits. Gila was a wellspring of down to earth, practical tips and tricks. It was her influence which allowed me to seamlessly make and maintain dietary changes in my life. Gila is clearly a highly skilled professional who is well educated in her field. Gila even went beyond the call of duty to take extra steps to make the behavioral transitions easier for me, for example when she was in the store and saw a food product she thought would be good for me she picked it up for me.

Thank you Gila for walking me through the challenges of establishing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle in such a devoted manner.

"The combination of following the Intuitive Eating principles and working with Gila was what I've been looking for after years of unsuccessful dieting. 

The advantage of this program over conventional diets is that conventional diets, even though initially you do lose weight, there's a flip side of becoming more obsessed with food and feeling more deprived (and more often than not gaining that weight back).

I found that working with Gila has helped my relationship with food become more healthy.

It was especially nice to work with someone who understands my lifestyle (children at home, Shabbos, Yom Tov and Kosher). I found that Gila was able to coach and connect to me even though our appointments were long distance."

I was hesitant at first about joining an intuitive eating workshop group, and being open and honest about my diet mentality, my eating habits and my struggles. I was blown away at the way that Gila was able to make everyone in the group feel at ease, open up and at the same time transmit a tremendous amount of information. Her sessions are thoughtful, well researched, innovative and integrative- bringing together not only aspects of nutrition but the psychology and emotions embedded in eating behaviors and how we view our bodies.  As the weeks went on I felt a connection to my fellow group members, wanting to share my victories and triumphs. Gila has a unique way of synthesizing science and psychology, bringing in real and relatable examples while keeping everyone motivated and excited about each topic. Her enthusiasm and knowledge is contagious. I highly recommend this six week course to every person, in every stage of life.

The 4 week intuitive eating workshop with Gila Glassberg was a gift of an experience. Being able to talk with other women who are sharing the same struggles with diet culture and maintaining a healthy outlook on body image and nutrition was very liberating. The materials are extremely informative and Gila is extremely knowledgeable and able to lead the group with structure and at the same time give space for each group member to feel heard and validated. I would recommend this group to anyone who is ready to begin healing their relationship with food and working through the murky waters of diet culture.

I was hesitant to take Gila's course, not because I didnt believe in Intuitive eating but because I was scared. I knew the IE idea makes sense but I don't like what my body looks like at the moment and didn't want to get ride of the diet mentality just yet. Eventually, knowing that for my mental health I should- I signed up. Gila is an incredible source of knowledge on IE. Shes passionate about IE and about helping others. She makes it easy to open up because she's so non-judge mental and open herself! I would highly recommend this course for anyone interested in learning about IE and hope it can be helpful by changing your whole life views about body and body image.

Taking the intuitive eating course with Gila has been a mind-altering experience. My relationship with food and dieting has been rocky for a long time. While it is still a work in progress, for the first time I feel hopeful and empowered to make real and positive changes with my lifestyle. Gila is knowledgeable and passionate about what she is doing, and her coaching is invaluable. She comes backed with lots of personal and professional experience as well as a good balance of scientific and anecdotal research. Her warm, supportive, and caring personality as well as her ability to help her clients find the just right challenge creates an open and growth-oriented environment within the group. Participating within a group setting created additional support while navigating the changes we were trying to make and was more empowering than I had anticipated. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to make peace with food and make healthier lifestyle choices.
