Partnering with you in your journey
to break free from emotional eating and get the body and life you want!

Check out my programs:

• Freedom from Emotional Eating
• Losing Weight Naturally

I am a nutritionist and a certified professional coach. Read my full bio.

We eat for remarkably good reasons, not because we lack will power. Ultimately, they are reasons of self-care, preservation and emotional survival in the only way we know how to provide it for ourselves. Once these reasons are touched, they begin to turn around.

Are you an emotional eater?
Do you:

• eat when you are not hungry,
• often eat beyond fullness,
• binge at night or when you are alone,
• feel out of control or compulsive about food,
• sneak eat,
• find that diets have not worked for you in the long run?

You might say, "I am frustrated and discouraged. How do I know that this time I will be successful in losing weight and keeping it off?" .
Let me tell you why it will be different this time.

Starting another diet is like building another house on the same old foundation that can not sustain it. Soon, the house begins to slide and needs to be torn down. Then you again build another one on the same foundation and the pattern repeats. The foundation continues to not get the attention or repairs it needs in order to support the house for good. In working with me, you will be changing your foundation! .

Our inner world, our beliefs, feelings and thoughts, leads to our actions and causes our results. When we only focus on changing our actions, we struggle. When we focus on making changes in our beliefs, feelings and thoughts, we naturally do the actions that give us the results we want. Reasons for sabotage are eliminated. The path becomes clearer and easier. It has been an honor for me to witness my clients' journeys and see this over and over again!

We will be using powerful questions, visualizations, journaling, and various coaching techniques, to peel back the layers, like with an onion, to get to the core of what's going on inside you. You might think, "I can't do it. It will be too painful. I can't go there."

Things unfold and reveal themselves one at a time according to how ready you are for them and not a moment sooner. You can use me as a safe place to explore and discover. I will be holding your hand with an extraordinary level of support and encouragement. You will stay motivated and inspired.

You will experience the joy that comes with getting to know yourself better - every bit of yourself. You will come to not reject any aspects of yourself, but accept and have compassion for all of you, for what you have experienced, come to believe and had to do to survive. You will come to understand and love yourself and experience the inner elation and peace that accompanies it.

"It is good to have an end to journey toward, but it is the journey that matters in the end."
Ursula LeGuin

The paradigm of coaching is excellent for weight loss. Coaching is based on wellness and the belief that we are creative, resourceful and whole. We know ourselves and have our own answers. We just need a supportive, dedicated partner to facilitate our process of getting to it. That's who I am for my clients. We may pull valuable information from the past, but then move forward with it, not stay there. If one needs to stay in the past to process it longer before letting go of old ways, then a therapist is indicated. Coaching is goal oriented and moves forward with momentum.

If you are an emotional eater and feel the pain of it, let's talk.

We want to know if we will click well together and can be partners in your journey to your natural weight. Therefore, I offer a one hour complimentary coaching session.
Please call me: (206) 24-Coach or (206) 242-6224, or e-mail me to schedule your free session and to answer any of your questions regarding working with me. I look forward to meeting you!

I commend you for being courageous and wanting to heal your food and weight issues. As you know, it's not about the food. It's a doorway to your whole life. What is in your way of being at your natural weight are the same things that are in the way of living the rich fulfilling life you want. Good for you for being ready!
