EnglishWhat Programs and Coaching Options Are Available Through The Hungry Soul CaféTM?
Updated
The Hungry Soul Café™ is the program hub on DrDorie.com, and it is organized like a menu: you can start with free "tastes," move into a self-paced online course with a live Zoom session, or go straight to one-on-one coaching with Dr. Dorie. The options are designed to be chosen in any order, so the right entry point depends on how much structure and personal contact you want.
The Menu Structure
The site presents its offerings as courses of a meal, each with a different level of commitment:
| Menu item | What it includes |
|---|---|
| Appetizers | Free "tastes" of what the café offers |
| Entrée | An online course plus a live Zoom "play-shop" |
| Dessert | Coaching with Dr. Dorie |
| 5-Course Meal | All of the above, plus two bonus courses |
The naming is deliberate: "dessert" (coaching) is positioned as something you can have first, so you are not required to work through the free or course material before booking time with Dr. Dorie.
Who Each Option Fits
Free appetizer tastes suit you if you want to sample the approach before spending anything or committing to a program. This is the lowest-risk way to see whether the Intuitive Therapy™ framing matches how you think about food and weight.
The entrée (online course + live Zoom play-shop) fits if you want structured material you can work through on your own, plus a scheduled live session for interaction. The "play-shop" format suggests an experiential, participatory session rather than a lecture.
Coaching with Dr. Dorie fits if you want direct, individualized work. The site describes her style as action-oriented and solution-focused, and notes she now exclusively provides Intuitive Therapy™ coaching rather than clinical counseling. If you have tried other treatment and relapsed, or if you have been diagnosed with obesity and suspect an underlying eating disorder, this is the option the site points toward.
The 5-Course Meal fits if you want the full sequence — free material, the course, live sessions, coaching, and two additional bonus courses — in one package.
What the Programs Address
The café's content is built on Intuitive Therapy™, which the site frames around two claims: that weight problems are not about weight, and that eating disorders are not about eating. The stated goal is to reach the "root cause" rather than manage symptoms.
Two named programs sit under this umbrella:
- Intuitive Weight Loss (IWL)™ — for people who have cycled through diets without lasting success and want to reach a healthy weight "in a healthy way."
- Eating Disorder Intuitive Therapy (EDIT)™ — for anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder, with the aim of living as if you never had the condition.
The site notes that roughly one-third of people enrolled at weight loss centers have diagnosable eating disorders without realizing it, which is why EDIT™ is also presented as relevant to people diagnosed with obesity.
How to Decide
- Want to test the approach first? Start with the free appetizer tastes.
- Prefer self-paced learning with some live contact? The entrée course plus Zoom play-shop.
- Want personal guidance now, without prerequisites? Go to coaching ("dessert first").
- Want everything in one commitment? The 5-Course Meal.
Dr. Dorie's background, as described on the site, includes more than 25 years of experience guiding clients beyond eating disorders and 30+ years of work with clients overall. She is presented as a best-selling author, speaker, and coach, with a PhD and MSEd.
One practical note: the site lists a phone number (520-825-0708) but does not publish prices for the courses or coaching on the pages reviewed, so cost and scheduling details would need to come from the café pages or a direct inquiry.
