Mindful Eating Therapy

Many of us have lost touch with our body's natural wisdom about eating. Chronic dieting, emotional eating, busy lives, and cultural messages about food and body have disconnected us from simple hunger and fullness cues. Mindful eating helps us reconnect.

Mindful eating isn't another diet or set of rules about what to eat. It's a way of bringing present-moment awareness to the experience of eating— noticing physical sensations, emotions, thoughts, and the full sensory experience of food without judgment.

At Algarve Wellness Retreats, mindful eating is integrated into our treatment approach. You'll practice mindful eating at every meal in our beautiful dining environment, with guidance from specialists who understand the psychological complexities of our relationship with food.

Whether you struggle with emotional eating, binge eating, restrictive patterns, or simply want a more peaceful relationship with food, mindful eating provides a path to freedom. The goal is not perfection but awareness— the foundation for making choices that truly serve you.
