Let’s Get Personal
Throughout my twenties, and after constant dieting and body hatred, I quietly battled Anorexia and Bulimia. My only official diagnosis was Bulimia, for I never met the DSM weight criteria for Anorexia; however, I swung back and forth between disorders. My health was starting to decline in many ways, and after experiencing a very scary episode of being rushed to the hospital, I finally cried out to seek help.
I did the work on self, and after just a couple of months in therapy, my intense restrictive behaviors and binge/purge cycle stopped. That was just the beginning. My relationship with food and body still required significant healing. For the next decade, I set out to learn as much I could about nutrition, while continuing to have a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection.
After exploring many approaches to eating and overall health, I finally found a balance that works best for me; truly nourishes my body, mind, and soul. You can, too! I will help. My Christian faith, more importantly relationship with God, is a huge key in my own recovery; therefore, I incorporate this specialty into my coaching practice, when desired, and for those with the same beliefs or who are seeking.
