Victoria played a foundational role in my recovery.  Having been anorexic in my early twenties, I had then spent nearly 50 years in partial recovery: restricting, counting calories, and running compulsively. In my mid-60s I started to relapse into significant restriction again. I had no idea that, in contrast to what I had believed, these behaviors did not reflect a healthy way to live.

From the start, I was drawn in by Victoria’s warmth and unconditional love. Regardless of who she is talking to, she sees the brightness and hope in them. She is infintely supportive and compassionate. At the same time, she is able to provide direct, honest feedback in a caring way. Victoria understands recovery because she has gone through it. Her work with hundreds of clients has expanded her experience. Her empathy for the challenges we face helps immensely. She also understands that recovery is not simply behavioral: to accept ourselves and our bodies we need to understand needs and fears from earlier in life Through the Body Love Binge curriculum, individual coaching, group coaching and podcasts she guides and supports people to recovery.

Today, I am living a fully recovered, joyful life, accepting of my body and my self. I could not have recovered without Victoria.
