“Having experienced recovery myself, I can empathize with the difficulties that my clients face during recovery. I know that eating disorders are not about food, eating or weight. Eating disorders stem from a lack of a sense of self which causes one to feel empty, defective and out of control of life. Using a holistic approach, I help my clients recover their true sense of self and learn to honor, even love, the person they were meant to be.”
