Because this is a self-study course, you get to pick your timeframe.

The ten videos and  six audios are approximately four to five minutes long. You can take as little or as much time as you want to respond to the reflective questions for each lesson in the journal that will be provided. And since you can go to the course whenever you want, you can do them all the way through or do a little here and there. So, you get to decide how much time you want to spend -- and when. If jumping in and doing it all at once suits you that is an option; if you prefer to do a little at a time, that’s fine also.

Yes. Once you sign up you will have your own pass code and can watch the videos over and over. You’ll be able to download the workbook and the rest of the materials to keep for as long as you would like.

The self-study course is $197.00. You can get a payment plan through PayPal.

If you have a therapist, dietitian, or coach, ask if they have a promotional discount code to share with you. You can get a 20% discount from them!

You can pay online on for the e-course through our secure site or by PayPal.

The course consists of four easy to follow lessons, the first three contain videos, audio stories and metaphors, and self-reflective questions designed to explain exactly what assertive communication is and to help you find your authentic voice. The fourth lesson has videos on how to put it all together. You’ll learn how to put assertiveness into practice in your life using the downloadable and online workbook and worksheets.

Yes, it’s easy to register and hop on the Cafe from anywhere in the world! Because there are no specific times you have to “show up” at the Café, time zones are not a problem.

Yes! You can get even more support if you do it with a friend or with a group you are already involved with. You can do it with a Book Club or a support group. Invite others to join the Light of the Moon Café and use the topics presented here as launching off points for group discussions.

You can sign up for the Moon Circle interactive courses.

I have three sequential eight-week interactive courses: The New Crescent Moon (beginning), Under the Light of the Full Moon (intermediate), and an advanced course, The Beauty of the Unseen Moon. These are interactive courses with participants from around the world who chat with me on a daily forum and in live calls. While chiming in on the forum is encouraged, it isn’t required. Just seeing what others write can be amazing. And the support from all the women who understand your struggle is incredible.

Because they are interactive, just like a class, we begin at a certain date and end at a certain date. But you can access the daily material whenever you want. If you are up at 3 am and can’t sleep – you can always go to the Café to see what is happening.

First of all, it is a self-study course so, although you won’t have the daily interactive forum that I respond to in the Moon Modules or the live calls with me, self-study means you don’t have to wait for a particular time the course starts -- and you can begin whenever you want to. There is, however, a comments section so you can post your main “takeaway” for the activities and see how others are experiencing the course

Yes. While the some of the stories and metaphors may be familiar to you, the focus of this course is on how to find your voice and develop assertive communication. It introduces the reasons why assertiveness is such an essential skill for recovering from disordered eating and provides step-by-step instruction on how to be assertive in your life (so you won’t have to use food to communicate to you and for you) and consists of brand new instructional videos. So if you would like a quick review of some of those ideas, plus help in putting them into practice, this course would be perfect.

The self-study courses like Assertiveness: the Essential Recovery Skill, and Cracking the Hunger Code are great ways to dip your toes into the water, get your feet wet, and find out how working with metaphor and story and developing assertiveness can help you with your struggle with eating and body image.
