It was the 80's, I was a teenager. Everyone was stick thin, except me. I had a belly. It stuck out, I got teased about it. A lot. People poked it and told me to be careful or it would get bigger. I felt terribly self-conscious and embarrassed. I wanted it gone.

So I spent YEARS trying to get rid of this belly through diets and exercise. But it only got bigger and I felt helpless.

It wasn't until I changed my thinking, started listening to my body and eating in alignment with her needs and my values that I found a sense of peace and my weight began to shift.

It’s been well over two decades since I stopped dieting.

I’m 56, post menopause and effortlessly maintain a healthy weight.

I eat what I want, which is generally a healthy balance and do so with ease. No second guessing or going back and forth in my head. No worrying about what I should or shouldn’t eat.

I eat out at restaurants, get take-away and eat with friends or family without ever gaining weight. If I don’t want it, I can say “no” to food offered by others without feeling like I’m missing out or being rude.

I never stress about what I weigh. My clothes always fit, my energy levels are great and I feel fabulous.

I’ve been on both sides. I know what it’s like to restrict and try hard to follow the rules of the latest fad diet. And the suffering and self-loathing that goes along with it.

But I also know what it's like to eat with ease and never stress or worry about your weight. And it's delightful.

​Losing weight isn’t impossible and it should never feel like a battle.

In fact, when given the chance, the body functions as a self-regulating system.

Your body tells you when, what and how much to eat. To achieve and maintain your ideal weight, all you need is to listen to your body most of the time.

​I'd love to help you reconnect with your body's innate intelligence. What I refer to as your "Perfect Gauge."
