I love to help women and men on their journey to body love and greater self-confidence. I myself have a long and painful history of hating my body. I have missed many parties because I was having a “fat day” and didn’t want to leave the house. I cringed at every photo of me and would avoid mirrors. And, of course, sex with the lights on was out of the question.  I counted calories obsessively, basically starving myself, and then inevitably I would have huge ice cream binges. I have done all this and more because I was brainwashed into thinking I couldn’t be loved or be successful at my weight.  

Thankfully I found a coach who helped me accept myself at the weight I am.  I gave up diets and stopped binging. I stopped wearing pants that were two sizes too small.  I found out that I was more than how I looked.

Through being coached I discovered a secret you probably already know: diets do not work.  So if you are looking for a miracle weight loss cure, I am not the one to give it to you. If you don’t feel confident now, you won’t when you lose 20 pounds.  Losing emotional weight is more important than losing physical weight, truly. 

I have specialized training in body image healing and in helping with emotional and binge eating patterns.  I am a certified coach Mind Body Eating Coach through the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, and I have a degree in psychology from Harvard Extension School.

My work is informed by Linda Bacon’s Health at Every Size (HAES) & through the practice of intuitive eating.
