the mind-body connection and real food healing to help me recover from 18 years of an eating disorder. I wanted to understand how my thoughts, feelings and behaviours were taking over my life, and why I couldn\u2019t stop losing myself in a mental tug-of-war for control over my body.<\/p><p class=\"swift-in-viewport\">Two decades of expansive professional education, 10 years in private practice, and a hard-won recovery evolved into a new purpose of sharing this knowledge and ability for self-regulation and self-healing with as many people as possible.<\/p><p class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa swift-in-viewport\"><span class=\"_4yxo\">I saw a huge gap in the outdated approaches of change-work, and I wanted to pioneer a comprehensive pathway of understanding the psycho-bio-social relationship between the mind, body, brain, and emotions for an empowered way to live more &#8216;deliberately&#8217;.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"_2cuy _3dgx _2vxa\"><strong><span class=\"_4yxo\">Proudly I succeeded, and now through the MindBodyFood Institute, we connect with inspiring people
