In their own words

“No one really understands this issue like you do.  They don’t know binge eating and the hell that it is.  You’ve been there and you honestly know what it’s like.  That’s why what you are doing is so unique.  I feel a lot better in this short time and I am already achieving personal goals I never thought would be possible.”

“I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart, you were such a huge part of my recovery.  I can finally say I see the light at the end of the tunnel.  My relationship with food has tremendously changed and improved and so has my relationship with my husband.  I will always remember that you helped to save my life.”

“Your program was absolutely instrumental in helping me overcome the grip of bulimia.  Two years down the track and I am the healthiest and happiest I have ever been.  I feel like a totally different person than the one that came to see you.”

“You have given me the chance to discover myself, my gifts, and a better way of thinking, feeling and being - which is the greatest gift you could help someone find.  Your presence really sets me at ease.  Thanks for doing what you are doing, it’s so inspiring!”

“Karla is kind and calm.  I came in with thoughts of just listening but felt comfortable sharing very deep feelings about my thoughts right away.”

“Thanks for your calm approach and making me feel listened to… A need I have that is not always met!!  And thank you for the time and effort you put into our sessions together, it was engaging.”

“I found your capacity to explain things exceptionally easy for me personally.  Sometimes I find it difficult to focus and stay present and I did not find that working with you.”

“Thanks to our conversations last year, a crack in the self imposed armour definitely opened up.  The difference to my life and my self is unbelievable.  I experience being fully restored to “myself” and being able to accomplish my goals, reconnect with loved ones and have a life!”

“I’ve been binge-free and diet-free for 18 months now and I can’t tell you how freeing that is.  My husband and kids can finally say they’ve got “me” back too, only a much more improved version.  It took a while, but now I can say I like living inside my own body.”

“This turned my world around because now I’m not looking for answers from outside any longer.  I keep ‘undieting’.  The biggest change has happened in my mind, I’m so happy I came!”

“My sessions with you were incredibly enlightening and self-educational.  But more importantly, my sessions with you were a huge emotional support for me at a time of great need.”

“The light bulb moment that I do what I do was not because of “real” hunger but emotional hunger and emotional needs.  Lots of new insights and connections between things that I hadn’t realised.”

“You have certainly changed my mindset about what I am doing.  I feel a sense of freedom that I have not felt in a long time, it’s a great message you are giving.”

“For me this has been the most relevant and helpful information in a very long time, here or elsewhere.  This was backed by research and sensitively presented - I really think this is an important step for me in dealing with a significant life issue.”

“Excellent course - taught me heaps about my pattern of emotion-triggered eating and then the shame that followed.  You are a respectful presenter.”

“I felt validated, respected and accepted for who I am and what I feel.  In the past I have eaten without thinking and my relationship with food has been unsatisfying, destructive and lacking enjoyment.”

“It has taken a lot of nurturing around food to regain my own trust that I won’t hurt myself using food.  I think the most amazing transformation is within me, that I can accept myself and I’m starting to like and even love myself.  Life is an incredible journey.”

“It felt safe and non-judgmental which encouraged me to share my feelings and experiences.  I now understand that this is going to be a process of learning and self-discovery and continued self-growth.”

“It’s been almost 2 years since I saw you last and I have managed to lose 14 kilos and kept it off!!!  I realise now that I don’t have to diet or put my body through a tough exercise program to get the results.”

“For the first time in my life I lost weight without noticing and without a diet.  I eat when I’m hungry, stop when I’m full, I listen to my body.  Without you I wouldn’t have been able to break the cycle of guilt and dieting.”

“At no time did I go hungry.  What meant a lot to me was looking at jeans in a normal shop and thinking, no that’s way too small for me, and trying them on and they were way too loose.”

“What a truly life-changing experience it has been.  I always knew, deep down, that Weight Watchers and the like were not for me.  Can’t wait to see what my beautiful body really looks like, left to her own devices.”

“This is an excellent course - highly recommended.  It is a whole new way of looking at eating and eventually overcoming emotional eating.”

“Very informative.  I was able to understand more about my patterns and gained useful tips on working with them.”

“Very well presented with realistic examples given that related to eating.  It made me think about my eating habits, the reasons I eat the way I do and it made me feel like I could start again.”
