"Value is your birthright, your body is your home and in a world of uncertainty, we all need to experience a security deep within that can set us free from the angst (or dis-ease) at the heart of our eating disorders and disordered eating behaviours.
My goal is to help you SEE why you struggle in this area, to locate where you're at, and to identify what you can do now to move towards improved health, self & body acceptance.
I want to illuminate the landscape, provide a map for the journey and give you the tools you need to get to your desired destination - the land of freedom and wholeness. You can be at peace within yourself and confident in your skin..."
You can recover your LIFE!
It would be my privilege to walk with you on that journey, to shed light on your path, and to provide the knowledge, skills and support you need to get to your own personal freedom 'land'.
Let’s beat back the darkness together."
