Heal your relationship with food
Once I got over the shock that I was indeed an emotional eater…
– even though I didn’t have 100’s of pounds to lose.
– even though I already knew SO much about nutrition and fitness thanks to my Integrative Nutrition and Holistic Health certification.
– even though I had spent over 936 hours in therapy which never touched the core of my relationship with food or my body.
I searched high and low for support to help me heal my relationship with food.
I knew I couldn’t work with just anyone or do just any kind of program because… well, I was different. I knew I needed to find support that was aligned and right for me.
So I searched…
And searched.
And searched.
I became frustrated that the scarce options I found were very misaligned with me…
– I knew I needed something to help me, teach me, guide me to the roots of my chaotic compulsive relationship with food… I knew the surface approach of general health coaching, to just eat healthier and exercise more, wasn’t enough… because I was already doing that.
– I knew my issues weren’t severe enough for something extreme like an eating disorder clinic.
– I knew Overeaters Anonymous was not the place for me. I knew I wanted real change where I could truly break free from my cyclical chaotic patterns with food and my body.
I realized that my options weren’t just scarce… they were non-existent.
WTF.
Then, something wild happened. I remember this moment clear as day (even though it was so long ago dinosaurs basically roamed the earth).
I remember it because what happened next changed everything.
I was at a fork in the road (no pun intended).
I saw that I had Option 1: “F**K IT.” To give up, to resign… to throw up my hands, internalize the limiting belief that my emotional eating was just something I had to live with… just another thing to push down, to swallow… another cross for me to bear…
OR
Option 2: Refuse to settle.
Then, I saw my future play out on the movie screen of my mind. Two distinct clips of what my life would be like if I chose Option 1 or Option 2.
In the mental clip of Option 1: The Path Of Resignation, I saw myself getting older, my life getting harder, and my relationship with food getting exponentially worse. I saw myself living in hell.
Then, a mental clip of Option 2 popped into my head. While this vision wasn’t totally clear, I felt light and bright. I could sense hope and possibility…even if I couldn’t make out all the details.
I could feel deep in my gut that there just had to be a way…and it was in that moment I made a choice that changed everything.
I was NOT going to settle. I was going to find a way…
I was going to find a way to truly be free from my emotional eating.
To have the peace, freedom, and joy in my body, mind, and soul I had longed for.
What I didn’t realize then, that I now know, is that I wasn’t just going to find a way. I was going to create it.
And then help others find freedom too.
This is how I ended up here – free from my own emotional eating and, since 2011, helping women who strive for excellence to heal the roots of their emotional eating so they can embody their full potential.
My sense is, that you and I have a lot in common.
You are someone who strives for excellence, just like me.
You don’t fit the typical stereotype of an emotional eater, and you know that the conventional support offered to the masses isn’t going to help you truly put an end to your self-destructive patterns with food.
And you’ve been secretly juggling your own choice point – to give up and continue to secretly carry the burden of your unhealthy relationship with food.
OR, refuse to settle.
This is your choice point, your fork in the road.

Click here now and let me hold your hand because what happens next will change everything.
In service to your freedom,
P.S. And if you’re thinking, “Eh, I should just be able to just figure this out on my own,” – As your coach and someone who has literally been in your shoes, I don’t recommend it.
Your chaotic relationship with food and your body is, at the core, a fight between you and yourself. If you truly want to stop this war and have peace, you’ll need someone outside of yourself to step in and cease-fire. Not a friend or family member. An expert, like me. So click now so we can get this ball rolling.
P.P.S. I know you are a woman who strives for excellence. You wait until you are so bruised, beaten down, and even barely breathing until you let yourself receive help. As your coach, I’m loving reminding you that it doesn’t have to be that way. It’s time to release your shame and achiever mentality and simply take the next step to apply right here. Right now.
P.P.P.S. My team and I made a pretty picture to illustrate where Escape From Emotional Eating is compared to the rest of the industry. Enjoy! 😍
