Eating Disorder Recovery Coach
If you're here because you struggle with an eating disorder, disordered eating, poor body image, or chronic dieting - you are in the right place.
I am a Certified Eating Disorder Recovery Coach, trained by Carolyn Costin through the Carolyn Costin Institute (CCI).
I have also trained with Dr Ann Saffi Biasetti to become a Certified Befriending Your Body Teacher. Additionally, I hold a Master of Science from the Université Libre de Bruxelles, am a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-500) and am currently training as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner.
I use a combination of my trainings and personal experience to collaboratively work with you and your treatment team to meet your recovery goals and transform your relationship with food, your body (I am aligned with the HAES approach), and yourself so you can live a healthy, authentic, and fulfilling life.
Personal Experience?
Yes! I suffered with my own eating disorder, disordered thoughts and behaviors. I get it. I battled that negative voice in your head and have gone through my own recovery process. Today, I can say I am recovered from my eating disorder.
Fully recovered?
Yes! I believe that full recovery is possible, and have seen it for myself and many others. Whilst I am of the opinion that clients get to be centred in their care, including defining what healing or recovery looks like, I also like to share the following definition of what full recovery can be as I have found it to be applicable to myself and inspiring to many:
“Being recovered is when a person can accept his or her natural body size and shape and no longer has a self-destructive relationship with food or exercise. When you are recovered, food and weight take a proper perspective in your life, and what you weigh is not more important than who you are; in fact, actual numbers are of little or no importance at all. When recovered, you will not compromise your health or betray your soul to look a certain way, wear a certain size, or reach a certain number on a scale. When you are recovered, you do not use eating disorder behaviors to deal with, distract from, or cope with other problems.”
