After the passing of my father several years ago, I fell into a depression and began struggling with emotional and binge eating. I was using food to numb my feelings and struggled with getting my body to my desired weight. This became exhausting, stressful and painful. I wanted my life back, I wanted my smile back and most importantly I wanted my Tali back.
When I met with Stephanie for the first time, I knew immediately she was someone I could connect to. I felt comfortable and safe to open up to her. I had no hesitations, but I knew this was going to be a lot of hard work and I was willing and ready to put my all into it!
Six months after working with Stephanie I can feel again! I feel happiness, I feel love, I feel my body telling me things, I can hear my intuition and I trust myself. I am not ashamed anymore of feeling pain, sadness, and grief and I don’t try to cover the feelings up. I’ve learned how to forgive myself and I’m starting to love myself!!! Imperfections and all! All of this has given me so much strength! It gave me the ability to go and chase my dreams and sign up for yoga teacher training!
I don’t wait anymore for the scale to tell me when and how to live my life. When I have a day where I want to binge, I don’t take a pack of laxatives anymore. Instead, I go for a walk, meditate or say my mantras. I never knew how helpful this could be. I’ve learned how to give myself what I need in the moment, let go of all-or-nothing thinking, control my impulses, make healthier choices and show myself love. I now live my life in the present moment!
Stephanie has been amazing and her passion for this work really shows. I never felt embarrassed or uncomfortable to share anything with her. She really creates a safe environment. I recommend the experience of coaching to everybody! We all need guidance in our lives.
