My Story...

I emotionally overate and binged for more than 35 years. Not occasionally, but in a way that felt confusing and completely at odds with the woman I knew myself to be. Because I wasn’t someone who avoided hard things. I knew how to commit. I knew how to follow through.

So why did this feel so different?

I tried everything I was told would work.

More discipline.
More control.
More ways to manage what I ate.

None of it touched the root of what was actually happening.

Over time, the binges became more frequent, and my body began to reflect the struggle I was experiencing internally.

I spent years promising myself that tomorrow would be different, only to find myself back in the same cycle and wondering why I couldn’t stop.

During those years, I didn’t stand still.

I became qualified in adult psychology, holistic therapies and stress management. I owned a gym. I immersed myself in understanding behaviour and the body.

And still…

nothing changed my relationship with food.

That was the part that stayed with me. Because it told me this was not about knowledge. Something deeper was going on.

Grief changed the way I looked at my life. It made me realise I no longer wanted to spend another year fighting myself around food.

So I stopped asking:

How do I make myself stop eating?

And began asking:

Why do I need food so much in the first place?

I began looking beyond the usual advice, into how the body responds to pressure, how patterns are formed and how behaviour becomes automatic.

For the first time, my relationship with food began to make sense.

I could see that food had not simply been the problem. It had been providing comfort, relief and safety when I did not know how to give those things to myself.



Once I understood what food had been doing for me, the struggle no longer looked like a lack of control. And that gave me somewhere entirely different to begin.

That journey eventually became WORTHY, the book and 60-day workbook I wrote for the woman I once was, the woman who did not need another diet, but desperately needed to understand herself.

Today, I support women who feel powerless around food, yet are strong and capable in so many other areas of their lives.

I don’t teach discipline.
I don’t offer diets.

I help women understand the patterns beneath binge eating and emotional overeating, so change no longer has to come through restriction, shame or force.

Beyond this work, my life is simple.

I live on the Essex coast with my two French Bulldogs, Harry and Dobby. I’m also a grandmother, something that still makes me smile.



And like you, I’m still learning, still growing and still paying attention to what truly matters.
