Hello

Since 2001, I’ve been devoted to helping individuals, couples, and families through life’s challenges. My passion is to support you in overcoming obstacles and achieving both emotional and physical well-being.

 

From childhood I have lived-experience of the pain of living with constant thoughts about food, weight, feeling judged and being bullied about my body size, along with a core belief of not being good enough.  This led to over 20 years experiencing a range of eating disorders, relationship issues, anxiety, depression and feeling like I constantly let myself down.  I was constantly on the latest diet, or obsessively completing a new gym challenge but nothing lasted.  I would achieve my goals in the short term only to put the weight back on plus extra kilos. ​

​

In 2017 I underwent bariatric surgery and thought I had found a cure to all of my issues.  I was finally slim, but I still had self-doubt, anxiety, and surprisingly the feeling of not being good enough was still present.  Enevitably I fell back into old habits, and used self-soothing eating behaviors that led to shame, guilt, and a sense of failure. I had the "tool" of a gastric sleeve, but no instructions on how to use it once the honeymoon phase was over. The weight crept back on so quickly, and I felt alone—without a support system that truly understood my struggle. I even considered a second surgery or diet medications, repeating all the things that had failed me before. That is, until I learned to heal from the inside out.

​

I knew there had to be another way to put an end to this relentless cycle I was always on. After seeking help from mainstream services I sunk deeper into despair.

 

I had to heal myself, manage my mental health, and conquer my eating behaviours.  I used my professional skills, rigoursly researched and trained in quality courses and information to put together a plan that turned my life around. 

​

The program I developed is simple, practical, and grounded in evidence-based strategies—perfect for my busy life as a single parent and business owner. Friends, family, and even other professionals saw the change in me, but most importantly, I felt the change. I lost weight without dieting, found peace in my thoughts, became more present in daily life, and my IBS disappeared.

​

From there The Eating Therapy Clinic was was born from my own experiences of eating disorders, bariatric surgery and becoming the person I feel good about.

​

I’m deeply driven to change the way mental health is managed by offering innovative services that heal the brain, mind, and body.
