Private Coaching WORKS!
Private coaching and counseling can help. It's hard to feel alone with a problem that no one understands. When your family is constantly on you to lose weight, commenting about what you're eating and making your feel miserable life can be unbearable. That's when private coaching/counseling can be a great help.
The Difference Between Coaching/Counseling/Consulting
My educational background is counseling. I was a Behavioral Therapist at Canyon Ranch Health Spa & Resort, specializing in very short-term counseling with guests. Sometimes they only stayed a week. I received many emails saying how much our sessions helped.
Coaching is also an important method to help with weight issues. Because I too, have gone through the gaslighting, the dieting, the self-blame and guilt I understand what you may be experiencing.
Consulting is a cooperative method of determining a good goal and behaviors to lead to success. However, I will NOT work with you if you still intend to "diet" to lose weight.
What is YOUR Weight Issue?
There are many reasons that people gain weight. You can take my 20 question quiz you will receive a report that will give you a LOT of information about possible causes. This is so important because it can start you on the path to removing the misinformation and gaslighting that has you blaming yourself.
Maybe you’re thinking: “Oh, yes? It’s just from eating too much and exercising too little!” But you would be wrong. Or maybe you did eat too much and not exercise much. But you may be surprised to learn that people rarely overeat because of hunger! There can be another foundational reason that we can discover together.
New research is coming out daily that is finally breaking the lock-hold on MYTH-information from the Diet Industry that makes BILLIONS of dollars convincing you that something is wrong with you because you weigh more than others.
This is how the Diet Industry blames you for being fat:
Actual Facts About How You Gained Weight
But this is what UNBIASED new research is now showing:
If you look at the foundational problem of weight gain that unbiased newer research is showing, it boils down to this:
STRESS is the cause of weight gain
With this information, I hope you will realize that blaming yourself for gaining weight, or not being able to maintain weight loss is NOT YOUR FAULT.
Most people can remember a stressful time or event that occurred in their lives at the time when their weight started increasing. You don’t get overweight because you eat too much, you eat too much because you are stressed! Eating “comfort food” is our body’s attempt to deal with stress – it’s just a symptom you are stressed.
But the major reason that people are stressed has to do with being unhappy with their appearance and fear of gaining weight. That's the stress that starts you on the slippery slope to dieting and then GAINING weight!
If you had terrible headaches from a migraine and kept taking pain killers, you realize that NOT going to make the headaches go away. Painkillers are treating a symptom- not the cause. Just like dieting is treating the symptom (binge eating, emotional eating) and not the cause- which is STRESS!
Women who have stress and don't have a dislike of their body size or appearance may deal with their stress in another way- either bad or good. Some people drink, shop, gamble- others may use exercise or meditation to deal with stress.
But In order to stop emotional eating, you MUST deal with the stress that’s causing it! Learning how to eat mindfully is not enough. You need a Stop Stress Eating Program.

Is Chronic STRESS making you overweight?
Chronic stress has a hold on you every day, and even every night affecting your sleep! Everyone has stress sometimes. But some people cope with stress better than others. For those people who can’t manage stress, their lives can be filled with both physical symptoms, unhappiness- AND even WEIGHT GAIN!
What triggers your stress? Your body’s emotional and physical reaction to stress was designed by nature to be short-term to save your life and escape from predators and danger. But then the stress reaction was supposed to stop quickly! The problem is that the way we live our modern lives, stress has become chronic and never turns off: worrying about paying bills on time, relationship problems, working with a boss that’s driving you crazy; caregiver burnout, lack of sleep, listening to the news, driving in traffic, hating your body… Your response to stress can end up being worse that the actual thing that is causing your stress! Chronic stress will make you sick and even fat!
How can the Private Coaching help me manage my eating?
If you’ve been on every diet, but always regain the weight you struggled to lose, stop blaming yourself. You don’t overeat from being hungry – you overeat from STRESS! Sometimes you’re not even overeating, but you all of a sudden start gaining weight! It’s your body’s natural response to the hormone cortisol which is released from stress. That’s when you get belly fat.
Think about your life and when you gained weight. The vast majority of people gained weight after or during a stressful time or event in their lives! If you go on a diet it actually causes MORE stress to your body. You need to learn how to manage the stress in your life, which is causes you to over-eat, and binge and slows your metabolism. You need to build your resiliency to stress.
This is a Private Coaching plan that doesn’t make you change anything you eat- it helps you stop emotional eating by learning how to manage stressful feelings before grabbing for comfort food. It has been the most successful method for people to gain mastery to stop overeating and binging (but NOT an eating disorder such as anorexia or bulimia nervosa- here's where to get help from those conditions) – and it is achieved with stress relief alone! Eat what you enjoy, and use food as part of your stress relief program.
HeartMath Stop Stress Eating Enhanced Coaching
from HeartMath's website:
In just six weeks, using HeartMath’s Stopping Stress Eating Program test participants’ group weight average decreased by an impressive 5.2 pounds, though a number reported approximately 12-pound losses. The average waist circumference dropped 2.1 inches and hip circumference 1.78 inches. Participants also reported increased feelings of calmness. These results were accomplished without any direction in regard to food or exercise but rather focusing on taking care of their emotional well-being first.
PRIVISO: MY ENHANCED HEARTMATH STOP STRESS EATING PROGRAM IS NOT A WEIGHT LOSS PROGRAM! Although participants in the program did lose weight there is no follow-up data to determine the long term maintenance of any weight loss from the HeartMath's Stop Stress Eating Program. You may lose weight, you may not. This is not the goal of my program because there has been no determination about long-term effects. My coaching is designed to help you with Body Image and Stress Relief and those effects are designed to be permanent when you stick with the program.
Inner Balance and emWave2 Personal Stress Reliever
How do you know if the stress relief practice you do is even working? I’ve found that using a biofeedback kind of device keeps me focused on actually changing the way my heart beats! But you couldn’t tell that if you were not getting the actual measurable readings from your body. Practicing using the the emWave Personal Stress Reliever or Inner Balance is like using biofeedback to SHOW you in REAL TIME how you are able to physically change your body’s physiology and lower stress levels throughout your body.
