About Reba
I’m Reba Connell (she/they), Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional and clinical social worker (CA LCS 19814). I teach therapists, health care providers, and stressed-out people to balance their mood and investigate the connection between mood and food with curiosity and self-compassion.
I have studied with Dr. Leslie Korn and many of the leaders in Mental Health Nutrition and Functional Medicine.
I have completed professional training in teaching Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction under the direction of Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn and Dr. Saki Santorelli and a training in teaching Mindful Eating through UCSD. I enjoy studying Energy Psychology through the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology, Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping), Qi Gong, and yoga. I am a member of the Association for Size Diversity and Health.
