Emotional Eating Group
"The experience was great. I especially liked
the informal nature of the group and the easy interaction we were able to have with you. Your support was genuine and didn't
feel clinical. I think the connection with the other group members and realization that there are others struggling with the
same thoughts, behaviors, etc. was most valuable. It took some of the loneliness of the battle away" -Sheryl B.
"Michelle has a great toolbox of resources to help overcome emotional eating and
is very caring" - Pat R.
"Michelle really seems to understand the issues behind emotional overeating. It's
more than just portion size, it's about what drives you to over eat. She understands and addresses that. The workbook is good.
Lots of good tools. Michelle's attitude and experience is great. She is exceptional at asking probing questions."
- BL
"It was great having the group support and Michelle's expert knowledge. The workbook was really helpful. I liked the success and obstacle part of the session." - Alison M.
"Most
valuable experience was the combination of group topics covered and support group" - Laura T.
"This was a great experience. In
between groups I thought about what triggers the binges and when I first notice that this behavior began almost 20 years ago.
So I will continue to use the mindfulness approach and coping skills." -Amy C.
"Starting each week with a check in was helpful. Also, more
emphasis was placed on success which, believe it or not, is harder for me."- Debbie V.
Eating Disorder Group
"I liked how the group was open for us all to talk and share
struggles. I also liked how we had a scheduled but if we didn't follow it, it was o.k. because what we needed was more important.
I enjoyed the dining experiences overall" - Katie A.
"I found being able to openly share my struggles and obstacles and talk through
them to be the most helpful. I also loved not being lectured to about eating disorders in general. I found the dining experiences
to be very beneficial." - Kiersten P.
"I liked the openness of the class, how we were able to talk honestly about our issues and not just listen"
"I liked listening to what other in the group had to say and learning from
their experiences. I will continue to use the thought logs and try to be my own best friend. I will work on recognizing and
restating negative thoughts and I will follow my bill of rights and set boundaries to keep my basic needs my number one priority"
"This was a wonderful way to kick start a journey for
myself and to find self acceptance and self love"
"I
think I got a lot out of this workshop experience. It was very well organized and the progression of the information made
a lot of sense to me. I thought it was really good the way you involved everyone and kept the flow of the information moving,
it was clear to me that you're very experienced and well versed on the subject matter" - Bobby M.

Eating Disorder Treatment 101
"I found the workshop helpful to
give me an understanding of what my daughter is struggling with and how I can be supportive." - Mary B. "The most valuable and positive part of the presentation
to me was the acknowledgement of different aspects of ED and how that relates to me. I enjoyed the open discussion and the
question and answer piece of the workshop. It was definitely an enjoyable and helpful experience" - Chelsey B.
