Freedom from Dieting is my baby – the seed was planted 20 years ago when I lost the extra weight that I had been carrying for 11 years. It has been spreading its roots within me since that time, through the years of personal and professional work in nutrition, movement, coaching, spiritual explorations, photography and collage and endless studies in all aspects of health, and self-transformation.
The program’s actual gestation was three years and it continues to develop.
I am inspired by what drives behavioural change. Given my work with many people in weight loss, often with those who have been overweight for many years, in some cases since childhood, I am dedicated to guiding them to get to the root cause of their issues with food, body and self. My clients catalyze me to follow my love for research and learning. Right now, I am focused on understanding how brain-based research, and the energy system will fit into the model that I have developed.
Another point of reference is that I am drawn to the idea of living authentically, being true to what is in the moment. This is about feeling good, peaceful, happy with what is, now. Not having to be something that we are not.
This brings me to the dicotomy of helping people lose weight, but seeing as much importance in guiding them to find peace and joy with where they and their body are at.
