Your guide to freedom from what's keeping you stuck in your head and disconnected from peace and ease in your life

For over a decade, I’ve helped women not only recover from eating disorders but banish anxiety and doubt. I help women develop fierce self-confidence so they can stop deferring to everyone else and start trusting themselves. 

I have lived this. I had an eating disorder in college, and there is so much I know now that I wish I’d known earlier in my journey. I was “recovered” from my eating disorder but something still felt off. I worked all the time, was on autopilot in my relationships, and still felt like I needed to chase the next achievement to be “good enough.”

I needed to address the underlying anxiety and not-enoughness. I needed to give myself permission to be fully and authentically human. 
After that, my life caught fire. I traveled more, developed solid self-care practices (yes, this includes both meditation and much more rest and play), learned to prioritize myself, and started a new business. I laughed more. I breathed more. I connected more. I loved more.  And…

I am going to show you exactly what I learned so you don’t have to waste more time trying to figure it out on your own (because they don’t teach you this in traditional ED therapy).

ditch your whip and stop being an asshole to yourself

speak your truth unapologetically instead of swallowing the bold statements and zinger comeback

ask for what you want and need *(permission permanently granted)

stop comparing because your self-worth > the number on the scale, the likes on social media, or the status of your job or relationship


navigate through big feelings without missing a beat

get feedback from others without doubting yourself or falling to pieces

prioritize play and fun (ready to laugh so hard you almost pee in your pants?)

find freedom from guilt and obsession with your eating/weight/body

Bottom line: I will teach you how to 1) listen to and trust yourself, 2) unstick from obsessive thinking, 3) befriend your emotions, and 4) show up for yourself with compassion. 

Abundant peace and fierce self-confidence.
