Freedom from overeating and emotional eating is waiting for you.
My self-guided programs will show you the way.

Are you a smart, busy woman who's ready to make peace with food and create freedom from overeating and emotional eating?

You're in the right place. Overeating and emotional eating are common traps for savvy, high-performing women. If you're successful and still fighting with food, you're not alone.

If you're frustrated with yo-yo weight changes, starting over every Monday, or stuck in cycles of guilt and self-blame, I’m glad you’re here.

If you're losing confidence, tired of deprivation, or feel like you're working hard with minimal results, we need to talk.

You aren't lazy and you don't need more willpower.

What you need is an effective strategy that addresses the real reasons you overeat.

Melissa McCreery's work has been a game-changer for me. After decades of struggles with overeating, she has helped me to understand how to identify, turn towards and meet my unmet needs (what she calls the 'hidden hungers', and finally the urge to overeat is falling away.

 Your Missing Peace is a completely different approach. I think any woman who struggles with weight issues needs to do this program, because you need to know that you can be empowered instead of following a regimen, and you can get off the dieting hamster wheel.
