We Can Help You Overcome Emotional Binge Eating, Food Addiction, Body Hate & Weight Issues
“Food is not your enemy.”
I started out as a pediatric dietitian helping parents with their kids with rare genetic disorders and also kids with feeding disorders, oral aversion, extreme picky eaters, etc, with great success. Then I started seeing adults for weight loss and soon saw the disappointment in that the conventional weight loss advice of eating less and burning more does not work for most women struggling with weight loss.
It's actually causing more harm, leading to nutrient deficiencies, binge eating, food cravings, gut issues, food sensitivities, hormonal imbalance, auto-immune diseases, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and low confidence.
With my unique holistic nutrition therapy approach, I was able to help these women achieve the significant weight loss they'd never seen in years. And yet everyone eventually reverted back to their old eating habits after 2-3 months.
I was baffled??!!
It took me a while to realize that these women are actually struggling with poor relationships with food and emotional eating disguised as “I have a sweet tooth,” “I love junk food,” “I love sweets,” “ice cream is my weakness,” and using food as therapy for their stress, anger, resentment, sadness, boredom, safe, love, connection, protection, etc. That's when I realized that nutrition therapy alone does not work in the long run.
What these women really need is an understanding of their deep unconscious emotional root causes of their weight and body issues and disordered eating behaviors. That's when I became a certified hypnotherapist to help my clients achieve the most amazing rapid transformational results they deserve.
Our mission is to help women struggling with weight loss realize that their weight is not their real problem. And that their weight is the symptom or physical manifestation of their deeper emotional wounds.
Many of these women also suffer from a history of chronic stress, trauma, and physical and sexual abuse, leading them to use food to feel safe and connected or to help them escape from painful memories or reality. So, I want to help them stop their suffering and deal with the real underlying issues, which is not their weight.
