Break Free From Emotional Oveating
Learn to Love Yourself & Find Your Healthy Weight for Life
Get Ready to Break Free From Emotional Eating
This course will help you to do just that.
My intention with this course is to support you to find freedom from disordered eating or any other unhealthy habits you may be using to numb or escape from your feelings, such as binge drinking or alcohol abuse, drug abuse, dysfunctional relationship patterns, binge watching TV or excessive scrolling on social media.
My intention is to empower you to break the cycle of self-harm and self-sabotage and to reclaim your precious time, energy and headspace so that you can channel your resources into other areas, such as improving your health and wellbeing, fulfilling your creative potential or finding the relationship you deserve.
I have designed this course because I know how it feels to use unhealthy coping mechanisms to get by.
From Self-Harm to Self-Love
In the first two pictures, I am in my early 20s, in the throws of my binge eating disorder. On the outside, I'm smiling. On the inside, I'm unhappy. I hate my body and the way I look. I'm also drinking to excess, living in a permanent sugar or alcohol hangover.
In the third photograph, I am in my 50s, living by the sea, taking care of my body and enjoying a stable, healthy weight and freedom from food and body obsession. After many years of singleness and broken relationships, I am also married to a wonderful man who makes me very happy.
My Healing Journey
For several decades, from my teens until my 30s, I was trapped in a painful cycle of self-harm and self-sabotage. I would binge on food, then engage in extreme dieting, then compulsively exercise, all the time feeling burdened by shame and by excess weight.
Food was my crutch for many years, my friend, my comforter - until it became my enemy. In the beginning, I felt in control but then my eating disorder started to control me. Sugar and excess carbohydrates lifted my mood and picked me up, until I crashed.
I also used other substances to avoid or numb my emotions or change how I felt, including alcohol. I used to binge drink until I was sick or blacked out. I also self-harmed through excess work and through dysfunctional relationships with men. I hurt myself and I hurt others.
In short, I was in turmoil, although you wouldn't know it from the outside. Despite binge eating and binge drinking, I performed brilliantly at work. I was an international journalist for Bloomberg and Reuters. I worked in Mexico, Brazil and the British Parliament. I smiled for the cameras yet on the inside, I hated myself.
Food - eating it, avoiding it and getting rid of it - was an obsession. My weight and body image were an obsession too.
Eventually, I hit rock bottom and asked for help.
Over the past two decades, I have healed from my eating disorder, learned to manage my feelings in healthy ways without resorting to food or other substances, learned to love myself and in turn, learned to love another. Since stopping the cycle of self-harm, I have married a wonderful man.
I now support others to find freedom from food and other compulsions, to develop self-love and to find healthy love.

How the Course Works
The course is comprised of a series of videos with exercise prompts that invite you to reflect deeply on your experience and to write out your thoughts and feelings.
The videos were recorded live in April 2023 as part of a live workshop with a small group of participants. I have divided the recording into five sections and included clear breaks where you are invited to write your answers to questions or complete the exercises.
You take the course at your own pace so you can watch it over a series of days or in one or two sittings. In total, the video content lasts for almost two hours and you will need additional time for the exercises.

About Your Workshop Host
I am a transformational coach, motivational speaker, inspirational writer and author of 'How to Fall in Love - A 10-Step Journey to the Heart'.
Importantly, I am the architect of my own journey of recovery, healing, growth and profound personal development.
Over the past 20 years, I have completely transformed my life, my health, my relationship to myself, my body and food, to others and to my career.
After being trapped for several decades in a vicious cycle of binge eating, dieting, compulsive exercising, over-working and dysfunctional romantic relationships, I gradually learned to love myself, to heal my early life wounds, to manage my emotions without excess food or other substances and to fulfill my true potential while taking care of my wellbeing.
Since healing my eating disorder, I have transformed my career, moved from London to the Dorset coast, authored my first book, formed a healthy and loving relationship, married a wonderful man and built a coaching business that supports people in the UK and across the world to to find freedom from unhealthy, self-sabotaging behaviours and to fulfil their heart's desires in life, love and work.
I coach 1:1 on Zoom and host in person and online workshops, courses and retreats.
