IMAGINEâŠ
Trusting yourself to know what to eat, and when, and to respond with compassion when you "slip up".
No more fearing foods you feel "addicted" to.
Feeling peace with your body without focusing on shrinking it.
Not counting calories, or worrying about numbers on a scale.
Having energy and time to focus on living instead of what youâre eating or how you look.

Thank you for your guidance as I navigated putting an end to the diet roller coaster I was on for so long. It was scary, not knowing what to expect, but you were there for me through every challenge. I only wish I found you years ago!

Hi! I'm Carol and I help women in midlife tame unwanted eating, stop dieting, and start living!
If you've suffered from a lifetime of:
đ„ dieting, dieting and more dieting
đ„ losing/gaining weight
đ„ obsessing over "right" foods and "wrong" foods
đ„ counting calories
đ„ "detoxing" and "cleansing"
đ„ weighing yourself constantly
đ„ avoiding foods you love (because of course you'll eat it ALL!)
THEN WE HAVE A LOT IN COMMON! Â
Been there, done that. And now I can help YOU find freedom from all the noise that is keeping you unhappy with food and body.Â

More About Me âš"TRUSTING MY BODYâS WISDOM HAS FREED UP SO MUCH ENERGY..."
In working with Carol I have completely shed the dieting mentality including aspects I didnât even know I had. I no longer think about calories, or âgoodâ or âbadâ foods. Trusting my bodyâs wisdom has freed up so much energy!

1:1 coaching to improve your relationship with food and body, tame unwanted eating habits, and get on with life!

Carol is a true professionalâŠable to guide clients to their own realizations about what a healthy mind/body relationship looks and feels like.
I feel liberated from outdated, energy-sucking beliefs and now appreciate my 60-year old body in ways I had not before.
Carol helped me uncover some deep and previously unrealized connections to my binge-eating.
I have incredible new awareness of the ways my saboteurs impact me, and how negatively they impact my relationship with myself and others. I can now disrupt some of my previously âdefaultâ reactions more easily and instead respond consciously.
Iâm in such a better place after our work together. Iâm now able to sit with things about my eating and body that a few months ago caused extreme anxiety.
I really appreciate your style of coaching. It was a great and productive balance of allowing me to discover, but with a little nudge of âhey, look over hereâŠâ when I wasnât seeing the big picture. Thank you!
You helped me see that I was using Intuitive Eating as another diet, versus a way to reconnect with myself, my bodyâs cues, and my ability to know what I need.
