Every diet under the sun, dietitians, therapists, yoga, intense exercise programs, life coaches, self-help books and more.

You’ve likely struggled with disliking your body since your early teens when you first started dieting.  That first diet felt amazing–like you were in control of food, of your body, of your chaotic life.

Eventually you fell off that first diet (as we all do–diets are meant to be temporary).

And, you felt like YOU failed. Like you were just weak willed and there was something wrong with you.

So, you tried the next diet, and the next one.  With each successive diet you found you were less and less able to stick to it. Less in control of yourself and food.

Combine this with messages from diet culture about how you should be thinner, growing up in a dysfunctional household, challenges with communication and self-esteem, and perfectionist and people-pleasing tendencies and you have a recipe for emotional eating.

I had the very same issues.  When I finally sought help, I was starving my way through several days a week, binging my way through several days a week, exercising like crazy, and sobbing daily about my out-of-control weight gain.

It took a lot of me piecing together what I needed to recover.  A group of peers who were also recovering from disordered eating, an intuitive eating expert, a solid therapist who could help me deal with trauma and learn how to cope with emotions.  No one thing was the answer.

That’s why I’ve created an online group coaching program designed specifically to help you in all the ways I needed.  And, it turns out that all the things I needed are all the evidence-based ways to recover, such as:

• Mindfulness based practices to help you get in touch with your body’s hunger and fullness signals, and to bring overall stress relief and calm into your life.
• Intuitive Eating to help you re-conceptualize your relationship with food, listen to your body, and learn to eat food you love in amounts that feel good to your body.
• Emotion regulation skills to help you cope with tough feelings effectively when they arise, instead of going to food.
• Education about emotions in general, so you understand how to work with them, become adept at processing them, and no longer feel like a slave to them.
• Tools for coping with body image issues, not only for just surviving the hard days, but also for restructuring the entire way you think about your body.
• Meditations designed to specifically address food and body image concerns.  You may have tried all kinds of meditation in the past, but when you use meditations tailored to the problem you’re working on, they tend to hit the nail on the head better.  Meditation is one of the best ways to strengthen the prefrontal cortex, that part of the brain that is wise, calm, and makes sound decisions.  We want this part of your brain active and online so that you can have more calm and clarity in your life overall, and so that you can make better decisions about food.
• Therapeutic interventions to help you address the anxiety, perfectionist tendencies, and people pleasing that so often go hand in hand with eating issues.
• Boundary setting and relationship skills so that you can deal with conflict and relationships effectively, instead of eating over them or restricting your food intake in response to them.
• Relapse prevention skills to help you not fall back into old ways when life gets tough or several years down the road.
• Group Coaching calls via zoom so that you can connect with peers, get your questions answered from me directly, and have the accountability and support you need to make lasting changes.  It is well researched that the group component of recovery from eating issues is powerful.  You’re encouraged to bond with your peers and rely on each other in between sessions.  Past clients have said that this was their favorite part of the course.

You might be asking what makes this group coaching program different from other things you’ve tried.  You have probably already poured thousands of dollars into this problem in the past.

As an eating disorder coach for 10 years, I noticed that my clients made tremendous progress with intuitive eating and learning how to ride through urges to binge without actually binging.  Great, right?

But, I also found that they were still missing pieces. Pieces that were integral to them staying on the right course with food for a lifetime.

So, I went back to school to get a master’s in clinical mental health counseling so that I could deepen my own understanding of how to help people in more comprehensive and lasting ways.  

I realized that folks needed ways to deal with their challenging body image issues that would support them over the course of their lives.  A few quotes and tips were not going to cut it.

I realized they needed to systematically deal with the problematic personality traits that contributed to going to food for comfort, such as being hard on themselves, self-esteem issues, expecting perfection of themselves, being people pleasers, pushing themselves too hard, and putting the needs of others above their own.

I realized they needed to learn how to calm their dysregulated nervous systems. Most folks who struggle with food have also had some challenges in their lives that led to them being more emotionally dysregulated than other people.  Quick to feel anxiety, overwhelming panic, depression, hopelessness, and shame.

So, this program is a culmination of all the things I’ve learned as a coach and therapist that can help you recover fully.  And, just as important, it’s all the things I’ve used in my own journey that have led me to being free from eating issues for over 20 years.  Tried and true.  They really work.

You’re highly encouraged to connect with your peers in the group and make lasting connections that are supportive for all of you.

If you think about the cost of therapy out of pocket for a year at $150 per session, that would be close to $7800.

And, you’re getting so much more value with this group coaching program.  All of the supportive group coaching experience, and the materials and education laser-focused on your eating issues so you make maximum strides.

If you’ve ever been to a therapist before for your relationship with food, you know how you can spend years in therapy working on your childhood, your relationship with your spouse, your challenges at work, your anxiety.  But never fully addressing your emotional eating. 

That’s because most therapists are generalists.  They learn nothing about helping their clients heal from binge eating or emotional eating in their master’s programs.  And, only .5% of therapists are eating disorder specialists.  That means they are very hard to get in with and tend to charge maximum rates.

Believe me, I’m not knocking therapy. I am a therapist and therapy is powerful, necessary, and cathartic in so many ways. 

But I also know that I personally got lost in therapy working on the ancillary problems to my food issues. This helped improve my overall life and the way I thought about the world, and it drastically improved my anxiety and panic.  It did not, however, even touch the eating behaviors that were driving me crazy.

What would it be like for you if you never binged? If you were comfortable in your body? If you could trust yourself around food? If you could be alone in the house with an entire cake or lasagna and know that you could eat a normal sized piece, enjoy it, and move on with life? If you could attend parties or go out for dinner without stress about the food? If you could consistently know that the clothes from last season would fit you because your weight doesn’t fluctuate wildly? If you had a whole new set of ways to comfort yourself that made you feel calm and that you actually looked forward to doing? If you could do all the things you want to do in life without body image holding you back—like wearing a swimsuit at the beach, or wearing shorts, or attending that wedding?

You would easily choose foods you love and eat them in moderation.  

You’d move through emotions confidently, knowing that they pass and what to do about them.

You would literally never be tempted to binge because you know the misery it causes and you’d have a whole new arsenal of tools to get you through tough times.  

You would feel peaceful living in your body.  Sure, you might have some days when you have body image thoughts arise, but you would know how to handle them, know that they aren’t 100% true, and you would know how to cope with the anxiety that brought them on.

You would feel settled around food.  You’d stop battling it.  You would know it’s not your enemy anymore.

You would exercise for enjoyment and not punishment.  You’d stay consistent with exercise because you choose it from a place of self-love and self-care rather than compensating for overeating or punishing yourself for being “bad” around food.

You would have the freedom to go anywhere, do anything, because you’re not chained to a diet or restrictive meal plan.  You could take that trip, attend that party, eat at a food truck on a whim.

You would dial in nuances about food particular to your body that have nothing to do with calories or your weight.  Such as, not feeling well if you eat dark chocolate late at night, or swiss cheese making you queasy.  But other than that you have no food rules.  You’re adept at listening to your body, so that’s how you make food choices.

You would be freed up to thrive, to be the loving parent and partner you’re intended to be, and to make the world a better place.
