Hungry Roots
with Caitlin Grater Kapoor NBCHWC, LMT
What does "hunger" mean to you? For some it may be a simple need for food and fuel, for others a ravenous desire. Maybe you reach for food when you know you aren't hungry, but you aren't sure why. Then there is metaphorical hunger. A deeply rooted desire for something you want out of life, often times filled with food when it doesn't seem accessible or too vague to understand.
Join us for a 90 minute exploration on the various elements that make us feel hungry: Biological, psychological, spiritual. We'll talk about where "hangry" comes from, why we're obsessed with snacks in this culture, psychological and hard wired behavioral patterns, as well as the spiritual, or where your deepest values lie, in relationship to hunger for food and purpose.
Come with an open mind and an open journal for writing down any "a-ha's" that come up. We'll be ending with a meditation designed to explore what it is we most hunger for. And yes, there will be snacks!

About Caitlin:
Caitlin joined the wellness world as a result of her struggles with allergies and eczema. She discovered that food had an enormous influence on her ability to feel comfortable in her own skin and decided to pursue health and wellness.
She received her first certification in health coaching from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition and later graduated from the Swedish Institute College of Health Sciences, earning her licensure in massage therapy and Associates in Occupational Therapy. She studied Chinese Medicine and has a deep and genuine appreciation for wisdom from all medical systems: ancient, modern, East and West.
Caitlin also earned her second health coaching certification from the Functional Medicine Coaching Academy in association with the Institute for Functional Medicine. Changing what and how she ate was her gateway into healing, but the holistic considerations emphasized in functional medicine (such as sleep and stress levels) are also utilized in her practice to address both the source and symptoms of chronic disease.
She recognizes how difficult changing habits can be and that there is no set formula for reaching health goals as each person's journey is unique. She enjoys exploring major areas of health beyond the maxim "eat less and move more.”
As a massage therapist Caitlin draws from a Western approach, but deeply infuses energetic practices. She offers a therapeutic, intuitive practice beyond the typical massage menu. She's studied many styles of therapy: myofascial release, ortho-bionomy, craniosacral, pregnancy, shiatsu, and has a certification in medical massage.
Caitlin is a Pittsburgh native who trained at Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre and spent over a decade in NYC after obtaining her BFA in Dance from NYU. She is a mom to two boys and wife to Ameesh. She is passionate about food, cooking and all forms of music and dance. When not reading articles about health trends, she is most likely cooking or singing her heart out to some Brandi Carlile.
