Everywhere we look, we are blasted with images of air brushed beauty, perfection and youth. We often believe that we are never good enough, pretty enough, or thin enough. There is another way! Remember when you were a kid and ate when you where hungry, and stopped when you were full? When you exercised for the pure joy of it, and not to burn calories? Join me in rejecting the diet mentality, which puts women in a constant battle of deprivation and obsession. I work with clients, using a 10 principle model developed by Evelyn Tribole, that gently gets you back to your natural weight, and most importantly stops the endless obsession with food, calories, and body image.

You may eat to little, too much or have difficulty keeping food in. Seeking help is vital to your healing!
