Whether you are in recovery or just beginning to ask questions, somatic therapy offers a gentle path back to safety in your body, one step at a time. You don’t have to fight yourself anymore.
Healing your relationship with food and your body is possible — and you don’t have to do it alone. Reach out for a free discovery call or explore my offerings here.
Healing Your Relationship With Food and Body
You Were Never the Problem — Your Body Deserves Compassion
-
Living with an eating disorder can feel like a daily battle — with food, with mirrors, with yourself. You may be trying to control something that feels uncontrollable… to numb pain, to feel enough, or simply to survive.
-
Whether you're struggling with restriction, binge eating, over-exercising, purging, or obsessive thoughts about food and weight — it's not your fault. These patterns often began as ways to cope with something much deeper. And healing is possible.

Eating disorders are not just about food — they’re about pain, perfection, protection, and survival.
Eating disorders aren’t just about being thin, and they don’t all look the same. Some people restrict. Others binge. Some feel obsessed with eating “perfectly clean.” Others swing between control and chaos.
I work with people experiencing:
-
Anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating
-
Orthorexia (obsession with “clean” eating)
-
Emotional eating or food as self-soothing
-
Over-exercising or compulsive movement
-
Body image obsession or body dysmorphia
-
Atypical eating disorders and disordered eating patterns
