    Mindset coaching helps you to shift the way you think about food/your body and retrain your brain to work in your favour instead of rebelling and self sabotaging.

  7. What’s body image work about?

    It’s about not letting how you feel about you body rule your life, to feel more neutral about it and not let it define your worth.

  8. Whats a TOOLBOX?

    Your toolbox is a virtual bank of resources that accompanies our work together that you can access from your desk top or your phone. Your toolbox grows with you throughout the program and is yours to keep forever.

We also talk how to include more fun & fitness in your life and make intentional choices for your health without resorting to extremes

  10. Is it a structured program?

    The program has a rough ‘plan’ to guide you towards addressing all the components needed to help you achieve food freedom, however your work with me is personalised based on your unique needs.

  11. How do I know this program works?

    The program addresses the 3 key components of binge eating that are researched to play an important role in long term improvements
    • diet rigidity
    • emotional regulation
    • body image

    As a qualified health professional in Australia I am not allowed to provide testimonials ‘proving’ that my program works however I can share that I am incredibly passionate about helping my clients achieve their goals & continue to review the program, up-skill, and get supervision to ensure my clients get the best possible care.

    As someone with a lived experience of binge eating disorder it is my personal mission to ensure no one has to go through this alone.

MY BINGE EATING STORY

I used to be a binge eater.
I felt out of control around food and thought about eating (or not eating) 24/7.

I wanted so bad to be “healthy” and lose weight. But I didn’t have the willpower!

Ice-cream was my kryptonite. It was at the top of my “do not eat” list, but when I eventually caved, I would binge uncontrollably on it. Proving to myself I couldn’t be trusted.

I would feel so guilty all the time. “Why did I eat that, I don’t even like cake!”

My weight would yo-yo up and down, and even when I lost weight it was never enough (and wouldn’t last for long anyway). I was so scared of gaining weight, but I couldn’t stop myself from eating what I shouldn’t.

I was angry at myself and ashamed. I would eat in secret and ask “Why am I like this!”

I didn’t have the answer then.
But now I do.

Now I don’t binge.
Now I’m totally in charge of my food choices. The shame and guilt that had become a part of my life? Gone!

I would have never believed you if you told me I would one day be able to have snacks and ice-cream in my house... and forget they were even there!

I finally understand why I felt that way and through understanding the WHY I was able to take action to heal my relationship with food.

I feel so free and in charge, and now I help others feel the same.

I help womxn all over the world stop binge eating, stop feeling guilty, and finally feel in charge around food.

I can help you too.
