I know how awful it feels to hate your body.

To loathe the reflection in the mirror. To wear baggy clothes that hide all the imperfections. To sit on the closet floor in a piles of clothes that don’t fit with tears pouring down my face.

I’ve also been the girl shoving nutella and bread down as fast as I could and feeling helpless to stop it.

I know what it’s like to read the books, do the Google searches, sit in endless hours of therapy and visit websites that espouse tips about how to love your body. I know what it feels like when none of those tips seem to work for the long term. I know what it is like to join a certain popular weight loss plan and quit in the same day (once I even joined and quit TWICE in one day).

I know because I have been there. I spent years hating and abusing my body. I spent most of life using food to avoid every emotion there is – even happiness.

And, well, I’ve overcome all that.

But let me tell you – it wasn’t this rainbows and butterflies kind of journey that people seem to want to make it out to be. Sometimes, it was just plain hard. And for the most part, none of my friends really “got” that I wanted to stop hating my body. No one seemed to understand that I wanted something more than a new diet plan or get thin quick scheme. It was like pulling teeth to connect with people that wanted to dig deep and find a permanent (like, for real, permanent) solution to this whole crazy ass food and body thing.

And that is why I created the Body Love Alchemy Private Community.

Because of all the things I learned along the way, having support has been the most crucial.

The sad part is that most women believe they have to go it alone and end up just suffering in silence (and just gaining more weight in the process).

But you don’t have to do that anymore.

 

 Without getting all girl-power crazy on you, I want you to know that in my experience, we have access to some of our deepest healing when we have a compassionate support system that has our best interest at heart.

I don’t know what it is exactly but there is something so powerful about knowing that people “get it” and want to help you “get it”, too.

You know that feeling you get when you share something deep and an intimate with someone and they say back “oh my god, me too!”.

Well, that feeling right there is what this community is all about.

 

 

This safe, private online space was created just for women who are tired of struggling with food and hating their body. It is for women who are tired of the conventional advice to eat less and move more but who also know they have to do something. It is for women who are tired of looking in the mirror and loathing the reflection they see.

It is for women who are ready to make real changes but aren’t sure of the next steps.

If you are not interested in digging deep, being supported and supportive, showing up for yourself and getting your food and body shit worked out for real, then this community is not for you.

This community is a safe, online space where you can connect, learn, grow and heal your relationship with food and your body.

Here is how it works:

The Body Love Alchemy Private Community meets twice per month via the telephone to discuss all the stuff that comes up when you struggle with food. You will be able to ask questions, receive powerful life-changing coaching (no, really) and tools that you can apply in the real world. You will connect with all of the other women in the community and learn from one another.

 These calls are absolutely packed with real tools and coaching, not the same trite advice you’ve heard before. You will receive the same type of coaching my private 1:1 coaching clients receive with the added benefit of listening in on others being coached, too (and for a fraction of the cost, I might add).

It is a truly powerful experience that creates true shifts in minutes, not days, weeks, months or years.

And the calls are Just the Beginning!

Creating a supportive community that in truly in service to how we heal best is so important to me that I’ve added in some super special extras just for members.

Your community memberships also includes:

• FREE recordings of each call so if you can’t attend live, no worries. You will be able to listen whenever you want! You also get access to past call recordings to go back and listen in to calls that happened before you join.

• Access to private coaching, products and programs. I only offer private coaching to my community members.
• A private online forum to get your questions answered in between calls. I’ll be available EVERY DAY (m-f)  to offer coaching and support around whatever you need.

• Immediate access to worksheets, exercises, guided meditations and resource recommendations to help you heal your relationship with food and body.

• A special forum just for the daily self discovery journal prompts to help you dig into what you are learning on the calls. You’ll be able to share your journaling as well as see others entries and support one another. But don’t worry, you don’t have to post anything you don’t feel comfortable with. These prompts alone have created serious shifts and insights within the community. (These prompts will be delivered M-F)

• Private, community only blogs to just get your thoughts out of your head and get support from your fellow members. This is one of the favorite features among the community!

• Behind the scenes access into the mind and emotions of a top body image and intuitive eating coach. I would never ask you to do anything I’m not doing myself and you’ll see it for yourself. You get to be you and I get to be me.

As if that weren’t enough…

Each call will include a drawing for a FREE 30-minute private 1:1 coaching session with me. That’s right, each month, I will be giving away a total of two private coaching sessions. No sales pitches, no fluff – just laser focused coaching to support you.

…it has been life-changing. Seriously.

Before I joined this community, I was getting desperate. I’ve been fighting depression for a few years and I was losing hope of ever shaking my issues with bingeing and disconnection. I was obsessed with the question “why” because I have done therapy before and I already “knew” most of the “whats”–but was blocked as to why I would continue to treat myself so badly when I knew in the very fiber of my being that it was wrong for me.

I decided to join the community because I kind of looked at it as another social media place but with a specific purpose. I enjoy communicating via Facebook and email (I love to write) and thought this would be a good fit for me. The forum seemed like a good place to tap into the issues I had and see how other women were dealing with their issues as well so I could learn not only from one person but many. And I liked that, unlike the Weight Watchers’ online community (which is massive), this was focused on the emotional sides of my food issues, not how many points I was consuming and what low point food I may have found for dinner.

A friend (who has similar issues) had sent me Christie’s newsletter and I liked Christie’s style, honesty and openness. I figured the fee to participate was very reasonable for all she was offering of her resources, time and support. I don’t have a lot of money right now, so it gave me access to try out a new approach without a huge financial commitment. But the interesting thing is, in such a short span of time I’ve gotten such value from this forum that I WILL find the money to work with Christie one-on-one because she’s that good– and I am worth it.

I would never have meant it when I said “I am worth it.” I thought it was just a great marketing tagline–but I’m starting to embrace that idea. With the interaction here, I’ve opened up new possibilities from very simple but spot-on questions and I feel like I’m emerging with a new appreciation for myself and a validation that it’s ok to be who I am, right here, right now, at this very moment.

I’ve blogged privately and journaled and vented about my weight issues before. But it was all in a vacuum, with no guidance in return, or, frankly, anyone to question my assumptions. I’m learning that what I have believed until now is not necessarily “true” even though it felt true to me. I can now go forward having debunked some of my faulty assumptions.

Since joining the community, I’m learning so much about emotions, feelings, thoughts, and how they all combine to create this being called “me.” I’ve spun the same old stories from the same angle for years and this month or so of being open with the ideas Christie presents in this forum–and the safe space the members have created here–has allowed me to see my life experiences in COMPLETELY NEW ways. It’s not always easy, and it has taken work on my part, but it has been life-changing. Seriously. ~ Kathy, a body love alchemy community member

Christie Inge, HHC

Body Image and Intuitive Eating Coach

p.s. how long are you willing to struggle? Is your relationship with food and your body the kind that you want for the rest of your life? If it isn’t, this is the place for you.

Meet Christie

I’m Christie Inge. I help women who suffer from poor body image, low self-worth and emotional eating to drop the struggle with food and their body. I have taken what I’ve learned in the school of hard knocks as well as in my professional training and created a system to help you make true and lasting peace. I’ve studied and trained with the best – including Evelyn Tribole, Brooke Castillo, Anita Johnston, Geneen Roth and Byron Katie.
I’m not interested in teaching you a quick fix or giving you the standard tips your can find most anywhere. What I will teach you is a system that truly works at creating peace and ease in your body…and in your life.

Your Questions —> Answered

What time are the twice monthly calls?

All call times will be on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 2 PM EST. The last about 45 minutes to an hour. We do sometimes have “bonus” discussion for those that want to stay longer.

But that time doesn’t work for me, is it still worth it to join?

Absolutely, all calls will be recorded and distributed afterwards for those that can’t attend. These call recording will be always available so you can even go back and listen to calls from before you joined. You can even submit questions prior to the call if you want me to answer any questions during the call.

I don’t have a lot of time, how much time will it take?

The two calls per month will be 45 minutes to an hour long each but if you can’t make them, they are recorded and provided to you in MP3 format so that you can listen at a time that works best for you. The self discovery prompts are emailed out daily and will take a few minutes. The great news is that you can participate as little or as much as you want.As with anything, the more you put into it, the more you will get out of it.

When will I get access to the community and everything that is included with my membership?

Once you make your payment through paypal, my system will immediately send you an email that includes a link to register for the community website. For privacy and security reasons, I manually approve each of those membership requests myself. That usually happens relatively quickly, like within an hour or so, but sometimes (especially the weekends or in the evenings) it may take up to 24 hours. Once approved, you will have immediate access to all the coaching tools, the forums, the previous call recordings and any other events and classes that are taking place.

I don’t like talking in groups, can I still participate?

Of course! We have members that just observe and don’t participate on the forums or calls and then we have members who participate on everything! You get to decide what you want to do and your level of participation.

I’ve hated my body for so long, I just don’t believe it is possible to change it now.

If that is what you believe, then surely, that is the result you are getting in your life. It is possible. If I can do it, anyone can. I have zero, absolutely zero, doubt about that.

What if I don’t like it?

I truly hope that you will love the community and want to stay a good long while, but I also understand that it won’t be a good fit for everyone. And because of that, you can easily cancel your membership at anytime.

How does the monthly billing work?

Once you click the join button, you will be redirected to a PayPal page that will ask you to begin what is called a subscription. This means you will be automatically billed each month at the same time. So, say you join on the 23rd, each month, you will pay $47 on the 23rd. But no worries, if you decide that the community is not right for you, it is super easy to cancel.

Can I pay any other way besides PayPal?

No. PayPal is the only form of payment I accept for this community.

Do you offer refunds?

No,  I don’t. When you join, you have immediate access to download my coaching tools, the past group calls and all sorts of other community only programs. I’ve created this community with very deep intentions with a level of support that is well beyond worth the monthly cost of membership. And for that reason, I don’t offer refunds.

Will this work for me if I am on a diet?

Yes. It is 100% my philosophy to meet people where they are. Ultimately, I don’t believe that dieting is a long term solution but I also believe that dieting is part of the process sometimes. You’ll get access to my eating tools that will work for you with or without a diet. I won’t try convincing you to do something you don’t want or aren’t ready for.

I have anorexia or bulimia. Can you help me?

I do not work with women who are suffering from active anorexia or bulimia and truly believe that you would be better served by working with someone who specializes in the treatment of eating disorders. If you need a referral, feel free to email me.

Why is this the only way I can work with you privately?

For a couple of reasons. First, I think having an entire support system is essential in being able to really make peace with food and your body and the community provides that right out of the gate. You won’t have to go in search of like minded people. They will already be there. And second, your community membership is going to provide you the basic tools you need so that during private coaching, we can jump right in. It also encourages you to “do your work” daily – which is a skill you will need to cultivate in order to create permanent change. The community membership will only enhance your private coaching experience.

Is there an age restriction?

Yes, I only allow members who are 18 years or older.

Are men allowed?

No. I’ve created this community with deep intention that it be a sacred space for women only.

Is it really private? I’m not really sure I trust this whole online thing.

Yes, it is really private. I’ve got to great lengths to ensure that this community is 100% safe, secure and completely private. I also manage the approving and removing of members personally. Only approved members in good standing have access to the community. This means that even past members who have decided it isn’t for them can no longer see what is going on inside.

When I first started out on my own path, a place like this did not exist. And along the way, I realized how important it is to have a community of people who “get it” without worry of who is watching. And so, it is with deep intention that I have created this space and I assure you, I am doing everything in my power to maintain this safe, secure and sacred space.

But, also know that you are also free to choose a profile name that is completely anonymous. You can change your profile name and photo at anytime.
