I brought my 12-year-old daughter to Michelle and from the minute we walked through Michelle’s door she made myself and my daughter feel very comfortable and at ease. She was very understanding and patient through out the whole process. She gave my daughter the tools and steps to help her with her eating disorder. She showed my daughter from the beginning that recovery
was possible and that she would help her get through it and she did. My daughter made a very quick recovery from the work she put in herself along with all the work Michelle did with her. Michelle has excellent knowledge and explains things in a way that adults and young teens can easilyunderstand. As a parent of a child going through an eating disorder, I am forever grateful to Michelle for getting us through it. I would recommend her to anyone who has any kind of eating disorder.
 

My mam brought me to Michelle when she noticed my eating habits had changed. I was very nervous as I never heard of an eating disorder specialist before. But Michelle was very nice to me and I liked the food diaries she did with me and how she helped me understand some of the things I was going through. I feel like Michelle really listened to me and she was always so kind to me. I am happy my Mam brought me and now my life is back to normal again.

When I first met Michelle I was consumed with thoughts around food and body image. They were basically taking over my life. I can now say I am living in a much happier life because of the wonderful work Michelle supported me through. I cannot thank Michelle enough as I thought I was stuck there forever but with her thoughtful work with me I now understand what my body needs to live my best life.

"As a male, I couldn't help but feel various levels of disconnectedness when reading books or attending groups focusing on recovery from eating disorders, although all very well-meaning. With Michelle, this perception was shattered as her approach made gender irrelevant to getting one's relationship with food to that of a healthy and balanced one. Freedom from what I had resigned myself to as a lifelong affliction."

I started seeing Michelle, not long after I started weaning my baby. I was consumed with a feeling of not wanting to pass on my thoughts and habits around food to him. I wanted him to grow up free of the pain and suffering I had felt around food for years. I called Michelle and started with "I don’t know if I have eating distress but I’m tired of thinking whether I do or not" Through our sessions, Michelle gently yet expertly guided me through a process of awareness, reflection, self-trust, self-belief, and moments of utter awakening. Together, we figured out coping mechanisms to meet my needs that began to dispel the narrative of my ED. This has given me freedom in my life which I can’t quantify, impacting every part of my life. I can’t thank Michelle enough for the guidance, care, knowledge, kindness, and support she gave me during our sessions

I have been working with Michelle now and I can honestly say she is fantastic at what she does. When I met Michelle I was stuck in my recovery and felt I was going to stay at that halfway point forever but week by week she provided a safe space to voice my fears and reassure me that I could fully recover from my eating distress. I can finally enjoy my life again and meals out with friends are something to look forward to not dread. I am so grateful to Michelle for helping me get back to myself she is caring, understanding, and direct in her approach which is exactly what was needed in my case thanks Michelle

I was always a little bit obsessed with food but didn’t really realize it was such an issue. Then covid hit and it just got worse. I started exercising to a new extreme and restricting my food which over time lead to binge eating. For a while, I was in denial about what was going on but then I eventually sought help, and Michelle was recommended to me.

From the first time I met Michelle, she was very understanding and easy to talk to. I always felt that I was obsessing over the little things and that they would sound so silly to someone else but yet Michelle never judge and helped me work through them all. I have developed a very healthy relationship with food thanks to Michelle and all the advice she gave me. It’s so nice to be able to go out with friends for food now and not be extremely anxious about the whole thing.

Michelle also helped me work on my body image and self-confidence which was at an all-time low, I used to pick myself apart in every way. Michelle was always straight to the point in the kindest way and made me question my thoughts. I am now happier than ever and while I still have some progress to make, I would say my confidence has really developed in the last few months.

I would highly recommend Michelle to anyone. She helped me to become a better person and because of Michelle, I am happier than ever. I know it can be very daunting to go to therapy but I promise it’s worth it.

When I first met Michelle, I was in a bad place. I thought that all the thoughts I had about food and my body would never go away. Now, I can see that I have turned that around with her help. She was always so understanding and was very honest each week. It was like Michelle knew exactly what to say and she understood me! It was the thoughts that had to change.

I have come a long way since last year and I cannot thank Michelle enough for being there every step of the way. Thanks to her help I can enjoy the things I have always found fun, eat food that I love (without restriction) knowing that it will not do any harm to my body, and have fun with people I used to!

Life is so much happier and enjoyed so much more without an eating disorder.

"I've been a chocolate addict ever since I can remember. For years I assumed it was just part of who I was as I ate so much more chocolate than everyone else I met. I also thought about it far too much: where I could buy it, when I would next eat it, what new products were in a particular shop.

When I contacted Michelle I worried that she might say my issue was not "serious" enough. I'm so glad I ignored that voice in my head because working with Michelle has been life-changing. She helped me balance my blood sugar levels, prioritize nourishing my body properly and work on my habits & thought processes around chocolate.

I feel confident now that I have the tools to have a healthy attitude to it which is not only benefiting me but will help me foster a healthy attitude to food in my young child."

I cannot thank Michelle for all her help. Michelle helped me achieve things I never thought were possible. She helped give me my life back and accomplish things I had practically given up on. After ten years of disordered eating, Michelle made me feel normal again, which was actually amazing.

When I first contacted Michelle, I wasn’t really sure what to expect. I just knew that I needed help and wanted to get better, but I never thought I’d reach the level I’m at right now. My version of being better at that point was to get through the week without binging and I didn’t really know what else recovery meant for me.

From our first phone call, Michelle was so warm and approachable and instantly made me feel at ease. I felt like she just got me. She helped me understand my eating disorder and tackle things that were contributing to my disordered eating and overall self-esteem. She took the focus away from just fixing my eating disorder and instead helped heal my whole relationship with food. I remember some sessions where Michelle spoke about food freedom and living life without restricting myself. And if I’m being completely honest, I never thought that was a point I would get to. I genuinely thought that I would always have some form of anxiety or fear around certain foods no matter how much progress I made in therapy. But even after our sessions have stopped, I am continuously surprised at the level of freedom Michelle has helped me achieve and the hours I have been able to reclaim for myself on a day-to-day basis. Mentally I am so much happier, lighter and have learned to enjoy and relax in my own company which was previously a massive trigger for me. I am so much more confident in my own skin and finally feel like myself again.

Michelle’s in-depth knowledge and insight into eating disorders make her an extremely competent practitioner. And her empathy, kindness, and commitment to clients and make her an excellent therapist. I cannot recommend Michelle enough. She’s made recovery a reality for me and for that I will be forever grateful.

When I first began therapy with Michelle, I wanted help but was scared to open up to people about my problems. In my first few sessions, I was very quiet and not greatly communicative, but Michelle was extremely patient with me. She always approached me gently, giving me a safe, comfortable environment to express my feelings and emotions. In doing so, it made things a lot easier for me, to actually overcome my anxiety around talking about my disordered eating.

My old self believed that I would always be stuck in the dark place I found myself in. Yet, with the help and guidance of Michelle, I am proud to say that that version of me is gone. I now have a new, much happier outlook on life, food, body image, and I am equipped with the skills to prevent myself from falling back into old patterns. Some days, I still feel overwhelmingly happy to finally feel confident again!

I worked for my recovery, along with Michelle every step of the way, putting in all the effort I could give. Fortunately, it paid off. I cannot thank you enough Michelle, for showing me recovery was possible and helping me conquer my distorted thinking. You are an amazing therapist, as you are a person. I will be forever grateful for your support throughout that dark period of my life. It is fantastic to finally feel like me again!

I met Michelle in late 2019, I didn’t start treatment then as I was in denial that I had a serious problem. In January 2021 I realized that if I didn’t get help right there, and then I’d probably be hospitalized. I emailed Michelle that evening, and she called me almost immediately afterward to set up zoom therapy with me, and I never looked back.

I had been dealing with anorexia for seven years up until that point, and I was very underweight. The sessions were so extremely helpful to me especially in the early stages of my recovery, Michelle was never afraid to be straight with me and tell me what I needed to do in order to recover and get on the right track.

Of course, Michelle was always very kind and understanding no matter what subject I brought up with her, even if it wasn’t related to my anorexia. While most people around me couldn’t really understand what I was going through regarding the different stages of recovery, Michelle did and was fully able to empathize with me. She was there to answer any questions I may have had either by phone or by email.

I never thought recovery was possible for me, now I know it is, and I’ve never been happier in my entire life. It feels so great to be able to function normally, to be able to walk up a flight of stairs and not be in pain afterward, to be able to hold a conversation with someone, to be able to actually build relationships and so much more! I would constantly ruminate about food every day, food as a whole felt like a chore. I now have a healthy relationship not only with food but also with my body and I could not have managed this without Michelle’s help. I cannot recommend her enough!

^{I have just finished with Michelle and I can not thank her enough! My main issue was binge eating, but as the sessions went on Michelle helped me realize these other issues I was having within myself. I was nervous about starting with Michelle as I believed the stigma around therapy but straight away Michelle made me feel so comfortable. She helped me to see that it wasn’t me that was disordered it was my eating.}

Michelle has totally changed my whole outlook on food. The diet culture that I followed made me look at food as the number of calories they contain and Michelle helped me to change this. She gave me the tools to deal with binge eating and the negative thoughts that I would have about my body and personality. As it is still a work in progress with my self-confidence, I have to say my confidence has grown immensely in the last few weeks thanks to Michelle's help, and with the advice, she has given me I know in time it will grow a lot more.

I would highly recommend anyone starting with Michelle. She was so helpful, understanding, and professional in the sessions we had. Thanks to Michelle I feel like I am in the best place I have ever been in my body and mind!

Michelle has changed my life in many ways. She is an excellent therapist and one of the best out there. I am now happy in myself and finally relieved of any disordered eating ( Which I never thought was possible). My relationships with those around me and myself have drastically improved. I now know recovery from disordered eating is possible for anybody! I had to put in a lot of work myself but Michelle guided me along the way to the right place and I couldn't be more thankful to have met such a kind-hearted person
