Coleen prepared and presented the content, based on Jan Chozen-Bays' Mindful Eating book, along with content from Jean Kristeller's MB-EAT facilitator program she took in 2011, and the numerous resources she's read thanks to TCME. It is a very brief look at mindless eating and how to overcome this by being more mindful." You can learn more about Coleen by visiting her website: www.ColeenNolanRD.com
