Rooftop visits from Devora, a kindred spirit who’s setting up an urban kibbutz, lead them to wonder what forgiveness might look like in the 21st century.

H.E.L.P (Healthy Eating Lifestyle Plan) Group Coaching
Most likely you’ve tried dieting before and it didn’t work; at least not in the long term. H.E.L.P is different than those typical diet plans that routinely fail you and at best leave you with no exit strategy should you happen to reach your goals. In this 8-week program you’ll get the support you deserve and learn how to follow a nutrition plan that fits your lifestyle and gets you results even when life gets crazy. Focus groups will meet weekly virtually (sessions will be recorded for viewing convenience) to discuss all things nutrition. This helpful, structured format provides you with motivation, empowerment, action plans, tips, strategies, as well as the opportunity for reflection and learning.

Sessions are customized for you, whether you choose to go it alone or with a friend or two. You and one of our nationally certified instructors will discuss your goals and abilities to develop a specialized program.
