Overcoming my disordered eating

"When I had my first meeting with Anna I was at a rather desperate point struggling to cope with pressures from school, friend and family relationships, and above all the damaging relationship with food and exercise that I had developed and felt unable to escape. In the early stages of our calls, the overwhelming effect I felt was relief, to finally have a place where I felt safe to talk about things I didn’t feel I could talk about with anyone else around me. Anna made me feel completely comfortable to do this from our first interaction and gave me assurance that I had that outlet without any fear of being judged or invalidated.

Over time we primarily began to tackle the issues with my relationship with food and exercise. I was living as a slave to my fears of breaking the rules I had created which felt so real and imprisoning. She helped me to look those fears directly in the face and run straight into them no matter how terrifying that seemed at the time. This was the most challenging thing I had ever had to do but Anna supported me through it constantly and most importantly gave me hope that, even if I couldn’t yet imagine it, a life without disordered eating was possible, and I had every ability to access it.

Now, less than six months down the line, I can honestly say my life has transformed, I am firmly down the path of recovery, free from those rules that used to dictate my life, and feel equipped to overcome obstacles the future will certainly bring. I am enormously grateful to Anna for her kindness, understanding and support. It is hard to find good support especially where relationships with food are concerned, but I found it in Anna so if this is something you are struggling with, I can not recommend her help enough."

“I felt Anna was really personally invested in my wellbeing. I was able to talk very frankly and openly to her about my personal issues and never felt judged.”

“Anna was such a great person to talk to. She really listened intently. We never met but I felt there was such a deep listening person on the other end of the call. She structured the conversations based on what I was saying which was fantastic, guiding me with questions and helping me think about things and be proactive and problem solve. When you are lost that is one of the hardest things to do, to think clearly and problem solve.”

“Anna has helped me through some very difficult times when I was unsure of what to do in relation to how I was feeling. Without her support I would not be in the stronger position I find myself in now. ”

“I was watching the rapid diminishing of the young, vibrant, intelligent girl I knew into a scared, reclusive, anxious young woman with no self-esteem or belief in her own worth. Over the last few months I have watched my daughter (25) begin to flourish once more under Anna’s guidance, empathy and nurture. If you want someone who intuitively knows how to help you face demons head on, survive and flourish then give Anna a call. I am eternally grateful for all she has done for my girl.”

Overcoming toxic thinking around food

"The time Anna and I spent 'walking together' has been truly life changing. I have flourished from a frightened young woman, who’d innocently trapped herself in an insecure body and mind, to someone who is now able to get curious and playful with toxic thinking regarding eating, exercise and all the eclectic hurdles life brings.

Anna’s nurturing approach has helped me step into a sense of vibrancy where my mind is less intimidating and life's no longer confined by expectations, rules and regulations. I want to thank Anna from the bottom of my heart for showing me how to embrace healing and health; I’m so so excited for what the future holds."

“Walking with Anna over the last few months has been life changing for me. As someone who’s suffered with anxiety & low self-esteem since I was a young child; I started to doubt if I’d ever be able to feel calm and happy. In the past I’d struggled to connect with other forms of therapy, which often left me feeling more alone. But in my first session with Anna, I felt instantly relaxed and comfortable to be open and myself, which was unusual for me.

Over the last four months, Anna’s helped me to slowly let go of anxious thoughts that had consumed me for decades, and guided me to slowly trust myself again and come back to my inner wisdom. Although I still have harder days, I’m now able to breathe and find positive resolutions to most of life’s struggles. I can’t express how much my time with Anna has changed how I’m able to show up in the world and for myself.

Anna’s gentle approach combines her experience and knowledge, with so much understanding and care. If you’re struggling, I’d highly recommend taking a walk with Anna.”

Walking with Anna has been the very best thing I’ve ever done for myself. It has honestly been life changing.

Anna was just brilliant at gently making me see that I have everything I need to be less anxious, more present, more confident, more aware of what I really want to do with my life and just generally happier. I have learnt so much about myself and about the way I was thinking, which I was just so used to, but really wasn’t serving me.
I’ve learnt that it’s ok, more than ok, to just be me. It’s extremely liberating and just feels amazing.

I would absolutely recommend “walking” with Anna to everyone who feels they need a little help.

And thank you Anna for being so kind and caring, and insightful and just brilliant.
