MEET CHRISTINE

In my early years, I turned to substances to manage the weight of personal struggles and emotional pain. I am now over 12 years sober, and that journey taught me something foundational: when you remove one coping mechanism without building new ones, the pain doesn’t disappear, it simply looks for somewhere else to go.

For me, that place became food.

After losing my mother, I found myself using food as comfort. Emotional eating slowly took over, and I gained over 55 pounds.

Working with a coach I didn’t just lose the weight. I learned why I was eating the way I was. I learned that change isn’t about willpower or perfection, but about building coping skills. As someone who lives with anxiety and depression, I’ve experienced firsthand how whole, nourishing foods and consistent movement can dramatically improve your mood, energy, and overall quality of life.

My passion lies in helping people who feel stuck in cycles of emotional eating, inconsistency, and guilt. People who “know what to do,” but struggle to do it consistently. People who are tired of extremes and want a supportive, realistic approach that respects their mental health as much as their goals. What excites me most about this work is hearing people’s stories and walking alongside them as they rebuild trust with food, their bodies, and themselves. I don’t believe in quick fixes or shame-based motivation. I believe in education, compassion, structure, and sustainability.

If you’re looking for a coach who understands emotional eating not just from textbooks, but from lived experience, you’re in the right place.
