Review Quotes

"The Journal for Emotional Eating is a comprehensive workbook for anyone who wants to bring mindfulness to their eating habits. Along with inspirational mantras, Mayuko gives thoughtful writing and drawing prompts that help the reader explore their emotions behind eating. I highly recommend this journal." --Yumi Iwama, certified restorative hypnotherapist

"A delightful guide for anyone who is interested in mindful practice and a unique and fascinating perspective about emotional eating. Mayuko Okai has written a must-read guide, which also provides a practical journal for the reader to self-reflect on one's own experiences. Highly recommended!" --Tomoko Akerman, owner of Tomoko Spa

"As a person who had an eating disorder before, I wish I had this book. It really digs deep into your emotions. Most registered dietitians just tell people what to eat or not to eat. Mayuko really helps to get down to the why, how, and when we got to allowing our emotions to control our eating habits. This book really will help people come up and out of those emotions!" --Nora Eng, dietitian

"It's rare you find someone so perfectly trained, experienced, and aligned with the work they do, but that is the case with your guide through the mindful eating and self-discovery you'll embark on with this book. This journal's emphasis on tuning into and putting into words what you feel in your body gives structure to the experience of getting to know yourself better and changing your relationship to yourself and to food. This journal has a mix of yoga, mindfulness, creativity, and the technique of a skilled dietician and experienced teacher and coach. You'll find many tools to try, some that you'll turn to again and again as they become part of the way you love and care for yourself." --Quinn Shuff, yoga teacher and founder of Open Awareness
