My Approach to Helping

When it comes to addictive eating, you need an expert and a mentor. Food addiction and related eating issues are a way of coping that can be hard to release- You need a specific program that works. I ONLY work with women and teens with issues around food/eating/weight and their bodies. I have been doing this work for 23 years, and have created a system that will work for you, even if you have tried everything else out there. I have a high rate of success, particularly with teens. I will explain to you the things we (those with eating disorders) have in common, and explain why these will become your greatest strengths. This is unlike other approaches-Intuitive Body allows you to heal the disconnection with your true self, and come back to finding your own true guidance within. No more looking outside yourself for the answers- everything you need is inside, and I will help you discover the relief that comes when you free yourself from addictive eating. I can help you pinpoint what is going on quickly through my skills as an Intuitive/Empath, and take you through specific steps to free you from addictive eating- we will use guided meditation/relaxation, writing, Positive Installation and EMDR, therapeutic writing, and some powerful Energy-Healing Techniques that you will not learn anywhere else!!
