Other times, we feel unmotivated or tired and can't get going. But no matter what

Testimonials

“Through working with Julie, I gently and gracefully was able to address the real reasons for my overeating, which had nothing to do with hunger. She helped me get in touch with those places deep inside that in the past I was afraid or unwilling to address. This underlying anxiety, depression and pain that I wasn't even aware of was triggering me to eat compulsively, to cover up the pain. Julie's work is so brilliant at giving me tools to work with myself, ways to be gentle with myself, and ways to comfort myself without using food. To this day, I use Julie's work to continue to heal my experiences with food and my body.” –Arriane Alexander, Actress/Singer

"I never connected with my true emotions until I started seeing Julie. Before I started working with her I certainly knew on a surface level what emotions were, but Julie gave me the tools to actually tap in and feel all the feelings I had been avoiding my entire life. My work with Julie was the first time in my life that I was able to truly connect with myself and understand the big picture of how emotions interplay with eating. Julie's compassion, knowledge and empathy helped me to realize that a lifetime of beating myself up for overeating was simply one that I was not willing to live anymore, and she helped me to break a cycle that I had almost resigned myself to living with for the rest of my life. With so much clutter in the dieting and self-help world, I feel blessed to work with someone whose approach is nothing short of life-changing." –Laurie B., Attorney

Working with you has enhanced my life and I am grateful beyond words." –M. K., Film & TV Producer

“Julie—being in groups and classes and individual therapy with you has been life-saving. I’ve been in therapy before, but nothing has ever been this helpful and transformative. You’ve helped me put together all the broken pieces from a dysfunctional childhood. You’ve been a wonderful, nurturing and inspiring guide and you are a living, breathing example of what true recovery looks like. Thank you.” –C.G., Actress and Mother

"You offered more than I could have expected. I have done W.W., O.A. and J. Craig. But I always ended up in the same place. Now I know why. Thank you for showing me that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and hope for recovery. Your program was really great, useful and revelatory! It was an opportunity for many “firsts” in my long journey of self-discovery. Thanks for being my angel." –J. L., Attorney and Mother

"I've been struggling nearly all my life with this overeating issue. I've tried all the diets and exercise programs. I couldn't get a handle on my compulsive eating until I attended this Program. Oh My God, I've learned so much and gained so much insight and new tools. I've already lost over 15 lbs and it's easier than it's ever been. I can now truly understand how addressing the deeper issues helps to effortlessly release the weight. And I'm not so afraid anymore of addressing those issues. This Program taught me how to do that and the Follow-Up group is helping me practice my new skills. And correcting the physical imbalances I had really made it even that much easier. Thank you Julie for all that you do." –K. W., Writer/Artist
