I am not a big lover of the month of January, and the older I get, the less enamored I am of the dark gray wintry days. I practically hold my breath until signs of spring return. But as somebody who helps women stop torturing themselves around food and weight and ways to stop out-of-control [...]

7 Things I Know About Grief And Saying Goodbye On New Year’s Eve day, we got the lab results back in a very early morning phone call from my vet’s office telling me what I already knew.. my sweet little yorkie Sailor was not well. He’d had surgery for cancer over 6 months ago and [...]

My Holiday Love To You I woke up this morning to big fat fairytale snowflakes…they automatically put everything into a meditative quiet place for me… ahh peace. They’re still coming down, not sticking, but just a little background for my morning of baking and tying up a few loose ends before we have 15 for [...]

There is a certain kind of craziness that is particularly evident during the holidays.. at least to me.I suspect you know what I’m talking about if you think about it for a minute. So as always in our culture, anything even minimally celebratory pretty much becomes about the food right? No judgment here, it is [...]

Lessons From My Time On The Cardiac Unit This is the kind of thing that one feels very pressured to write a blog post about.. pressure to find meaning and insight from the big scary challenges that many of us are going through.. sometimes with way too much frequency. So you can deduce from the [...]

One of the things I hear my clients struggling with binges and overeating express time and time again is some version of this statement; “I shouldn’t need that”. Or I shouldn’t need so MUCH of it, or STILL need it, or need it so OFTEN.. and on and on. Oh Lord, this really gets to [...]

It always amazes me how our bodies react when they hear an incontrovertible truth. I heard one of the most powerful statements ever last Sunday. And yes, it came out of Caroline Myss’ mouth. She was in Boston doing a day long seminar with Wayne Dyer. And somehow I hadn’t realized it was going to [...]

Your Sexual Template-Part of the series of “Living Beautifully In Your Body” Let’s talk about sex, you and me, yes? I love to boast that it’s impossible to shock me, having worked in a women’s prison and on psychiatric units, and just from listening to countless women tell me their secrets for 25 years. I [...]

Oh the little battles we wage within… the daily conflicts that can sweep in and disrupt the best of intentions. I love and believe in daily ritualized self-care, I practice it and preach it ad nauseum. And yet there are times when it wants to fall apart. Here’s a simple example. I very much want [...]

Addiction, Overeating, and Slowing Time I haven’t written much about my time in Caroline Myss’ Addictions workshop that I attended the last week of August. Truthfully, I am still trying to digest the intensity and depth and emotional charge of the material. She’s such a brilliant thought leader and spiritual teacher and knows exactly how [...]

Relief From Overeating For Women Who Feel "Too Much
I believe that women that struggle with food or weight are unique- you may be what I call a "sensitive" or an empath.If you're a woman who feels too much, picks up everyone else's energies and emotions, tends to give a LOT to other people, plus has trouble turning off the noisy chatter of perfectionism "not-good-enough" messages in your mind, it's no coincidence that you're here. It's grace.
"Recovering Beauty" was written just for you. A 145-page, self-guided home retreat with sacred rituals to help you clear emotional weight. Sort of a love letter to the women I consider my Tribe. Everything I know about what really works is in this book.
