Testimonials

I wanted to be 100% free before sending it, but I’m still in the 85-90% range. Then I realized I was at like 5-10% when I started and holy shit that is amazing.

When I started this journey, I was deep in restriction and purging. I was using my ADHD medication for appetite suppression. I hated myself and was terrified I was going to die because I wasn’t taking care of myself. I hated how my ED was ruining my relationship with my family and stealing my time and intelligence. I was consumed by fear of what others thought of me. I believed the entirety of my worth and happiness was dictated by the size of
my body. I was consumed by it and living a lie.

I had been “trying” to recover for 20 years. In-patient, out-patient, therapy, medication, mindset, white-knuckling, promising myself tomorrow would be better, etc. Dieting to stop bulimia, working out to stop bulimia, running to stop bulimia, restriction to stop bulimia. The cycle was crazy and chaotic and I saw no way out.

Did you think working with me would “work” for you? Why or why not?

Yes and no. I felt like it would be the only thing that worked if anything could work. I did feel like I was the one person who could truly never get better. I still have a tiny sliver of fear that I’ll mess up and it’ll take over again but I think that’s just because I was in ED for SO long.

Now, 85% of the time I enjoy eating freely and I am finally comfortable in the body I have now. I can dress the body I have now and feel confident in how I show up in the world. I am not consumed by fear of weight gain nor do I feel constantly disgusted with the weight I have gained like I thought I would. I still have body image struggles but I would say they have decreased 80% so only 20% still worries about it.

I have discovered that I can trust myself and my body. I didn’t spiral into frozen despair and I made it through each hard thing. Fear now is more like a challenge to me and not an obstacle. If I feel fear I think how can I tackle this instead of ignoring it, running from it, or letting it stop me.

Would you recommend me to others to help them with food and body struggles? Why?

YES 100% YES.
Your pure love and devotion to helping women overcome ED and regain a loving positive sense of self is life changing. Your patience in coaching and expertise in each aspect of the necessary changes creates a seamless process. All I had to do was get out of my own way and trust the process. Both of which I thought may kill me but your guidance and reassurance got me through.
