My passion for nutrition and eating psychology was born out of my own challenges with food and poor body image. For 20 years after constant dieting and body hatred, I quietly battled Anorexia and Bulimia. My only official diagnosis was Bulimia, for I never met the DSM weight criteria for Anorexia; however, I swung back and forth between disorders.

For all those years it seemed too great to overcome. Throughout this time, I felt broken. I felt totally disconnected from my body, powerless and alone. I imagined I might never feel whole again. My body and mind had betrayed me and left me in a never-ending food prison with no foreseeable way out. 

I realised that if I wanted to help myself and others in their journey with food, body image and health, I needed to find an approach that was all inclusive of who we are as eaters. I needed to go beyond the dieting rules we surround ourselves with. I needed to learn more, dive deeper, and be open to doing things differently and do to this I needed help. 

When I look at where I started and where I am now, the distance I have travelled is huge. I have learnt that healing and growth is possible and that not only can we overcome intense eating issues; we can use this transformation to help others.

I have now freed myself from the all-consuming obsession with food and have found balance. Food no longer controls me.

I had learnt over the years how to fully feel emotions and move forward positively. I had learnt to take self-responsibility for where I was at, always. I cannot wait to share what worked for me in creating a new way of looking at life’s challenges. I believe that everyone deserves to live a vibrant and healthy life.
