Imagine this… aA program to conquer overeating eating that does not:

✗ Blame and shame.

✗ Talk about food. 

✗ Ask you to step on a scale. (Unless it is truly helpful).

Because no amount of self-loathing will motivate anyone to lose weight -- or do anything for that matter.

We focus on changing your relationship with yourself - so that you can change your relationship with food. 

We address the underlying components of overeating and approach it through cognitive restructuring… we’ll get to the root of your thinking around food. 

And from a gentle, kind, and nurturing place, you’ll start to see a new self-perspective emerge - one that allows you to move forward with joy, strength, and confidence. 

Dr. Sandy and I have been helping real people end their struggle with emotional eating for a decade. Join us…

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING

“I am sending this as a thank you for everything that you have done for me (and with me), everything you’ve put into this program, and for going above and beyond. My life is getting better day by day and this feeling, for the first time in my life, is not related to my weight, my size, or a diet I am following. I have spent so many years missing, hiding, isolating, and being afraid to see people or participate “until I lose weight”. In the past 2 weeks, I have accepted invitations for 2 weekends away at cottages, one BBQ, and one wedding and I booked a trip out west to Banff to visit friends. I can’t thank you enough. I’d say you’ve given me my life back but it sort of feels like I’ve been given a new life altogether.”
