You belong, here.
Hi! I'm Stefanie -- a certified coach with lived experience of dieting and restriction, binge eating, and body image anxiety.
You're in the right place if you struggle with food chaos, feeling trapped in your own body, or swinging between control and rebellion. You aren't broken or beyond help. It means that something needs attention.
My approach is about addressing the fear, the habits, and the nervous system patterns underneath the symptoms. The goal is to finally feel safe with food, in your body (and really within your Self) so you can stop micromanaging your food and live inside your actual life.

COMING SOON
hey there
Meet Stefanie
I've been exactly where you are—trapped in the cycles of binge eating, scrambling to "fix it", and feeling completely overwhelmed with it all. How do we live a "normal life" with these secret issues that no one else can see? It's exhausting. If you're here, you're probably burnt out. But I promise that you make sense. With my lived experience and professional background in neuroscience, somatic therapy, and human development, I’ve helped hundreds of people get out of the hamster wheel and finally feel an internal sense of ease and stability. I’ll be right there, teaching you concepts & tools to change your relationship with food, body, and ultimately, your Self.

How nervous system regulation can help you stop binge eating
Understand the link between the nervous system and your eating instincts, and learn regulation tools you can start using today.
You have been instrumental walking beside me on this journey, helping me get to these realizations...
I recently had a work presentation and before, I had so much body image stress. This time, I had zero. And I mean zero. I got up there, grabbed the microphone, I was completely in my body. There were no ping-pong conversations going on in my head. After my whole career, feeling so much anxiety and stress for these kinds of things! How I relate to my thoughts is so different. It's not rainbows happiness unicorns, it's the calm that surrounds me the majority of the time rather than the frenzied way of living that had been my "normal”." To know that there is another way to live is priceless.

Stefanie knows intuitively what you are talking about even when you can't articulate it!
She just *knows*, and she can explain what is really going on. It was like speaking to a wiser version of myself. Her biggest strength is being able to suss out an underlying issue from just a conversational anecdote. At least 4 or 5 times when I was just chatting about something I had experienced (whether food related or not), she asked a question that got to the heart of what was really going on (I.e., perfectionism or being triggered by something) that I had not seen. It's her lived experience and also just that she is a great listener. Her second biggest strength, from my perspective, is the number of tools in her toolbox. She clearly has a deep knowledge of ways to help people.

Stefanie gets this in a way I have never experienced before. She touches on things and sees things on a whole new level.
I have been to centres and therapy and hypnotherapy and CBT and nothing has been as meaningful as my work with Stefanie as my coach. I wanted to work on binge eating and finding food freedom but I gained that and more. I learned who I really am and the person I can be."

I feel that I am MUCH more attuned to my body and how I feel.
I’m proud that I respect what my body needs by paying attention. Previously I would have pushed down any feelings of being tired or hungry because I perceived it as being “weak." I loved that the courses and coaching prompted me to think about things in a different way and really pay attention to my thoughts, but also included very practical tips on what to do in certain situations from someone who has been there."
