After struggling with an Eating Disorder for over 20 years,I had all but given up on achieving full recovery. But then I met Michelle. For the first time, I felt that I was working with someone who not only truly understood what I was going through, but genuinely cared about helping me to get my life back.

Thank you ☺
‍Michelle is the real deal. She has so much genuine love and positivity. She has sat with me in some of my darkest moments of shame and show me new ways out. I completely stopped the eating disorder behaviours during the time I worked with her one on one - somethingI never thought I could do. She patiently made me see some value in myself and empowered me to choose recovery and keep coming back to choosing it day after day.

Most common eating disorders

Anorexia Nervosa

“You can’t ‘just eat.’ The world inside your head is so twisted and controlling, a prison of black and white; it makes you fear every aspect of your life outside of your ‘control.’”

Bulimia Nervosa

“It’s not about the food or weight — it’s deeper than that.We use the eating disorder to mask something underlying. This isn’t a choice ora lifestyle.”

Binge Eating Disorder

 “When someone says, ‘You don’t look like you have an eating disorder,’ it’s extremely triggering. You don’t have to be under weight to have an eating disorder.”

Orthorexia Or Obsession
With Healthy Or Clean Eating

“Even if you appear ‘healthy,’ you may not be… physically and emotionally. Eating disorders manifest in many ways.” 

I provide one-on-one recovery coaching for those struggling with eating disorders and disordered eating.
I KNOW FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, AND THROUGH MY WORK, THAT RECOVERY IS ACHIEVABLE AND THAT LIFE WITHOUT EATING DISORDER THOUGHTS AND BEHAVIOURS IS POSSIBLE WITH THE RIGHT HELP
