I spent most of my teens and early adulthood loathing the body I was in.

What started off as a diet to lose some weight and gain confidence progressed quickly to restrictive eating and over-exercising. Before I knew it I was in the grips of restricting, bingeing and purging behaviours, which continued for a number of years until I worked through my own recovery.
After a few years practising as a Psychotherapist and hearing women tell stories about their Food, Weight and Body image issues I understood, as I had realised for myself, that their issues had nothing to do with food, it was merely a coping strategy for their emotional distress.
So, I set out on a mission to help women wage war on their issues with food and transform from the inside out.
To gain as much knowledge as I could into our relationship between Food, Mind and Body I have sought out training by leading experts in the field over the last seven years.
In addition to being a fully accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT), I have gained further qualifications as a Nutrition & Lifestyle coach, an Eating Disorder Practitioner, Obesity Practitioner (Psychological approaches to Weight Loss) and a Master Practitioner in Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)
For Food Cravings and Emotional Eating in particular, it has been amazing to watch clients cravings literally vanish within minutes of using EFT.
