Let go of dieting, losing and regaining weight.
FREE YOURSELF FROM EMOTIONAL EATING
Spend less time on food and more time on living and loving.
Mindful Eating Institute (“MEI”) is a Santa Barbara, California weight loss management and self-care counseling service that helps clients develop a healthy relationship with food. Founded in 2017 by Petra Beumer, the comprehensive treatment program provides customized strategies, which produce long-term weight management results while emphasizing to clients to be at peace with food and their body, and to practice good emotional self care. At MEI, we explore the triggers that lead to emotional eating and develop the tools, strategies and rituals for establishing a healthy relationship with food. Clients gain an understanding
of how to free themselves from this cycle and how to transform mind (and body) along the way.
The program represents a comprehensive, in-depth non-dieting approach, which aims at producing lifelong results. End the familiar pattern of worrying about calories and dieting and gain a new understanding of the true need for comfort and relief. Receive tools for practicing good emotional self-care and incorporate new healthy rituals in your everyday life.
​
MEI's mission is threefold: To teach clients how to achieve their goals, guide them toward a new and maintainable lifestyle, and ultimately enjoy peace with food and their body.

NEVER DIET AGAIN

who has been using food as a mood regulator? You are not alone.

By working with me you will learn to be in tune with your body and differentiate between physical and emotional hunger. The goal is to nurture and soothe yourself in healthy ways.

"Working with Petra has been a powerful and healing experience. I started this program hoping to lose weight and to put an end to years of yo-yo dieting and eating for comfort. What I really needed to learn is how to practice good self-care –that this is the key to a healthy relationship with food. With Petra’s guidance I’ve put together a toolbox of self-care tools and rituals that I can use to manage my emotions, and not to turn to food to soothe uncomfortable feelings."
