Read MoreI am so thankful that I stumbled upon this course. I was heading on a trip to see a friend and was totally scared about how to handle eating while there. At that moment I googled 'eating disorders and recovery' and this is what popped up. I cried because I knew Michelle would be non-judgemental and that this was the answer. I went away and tried to deal with the eating on my own and came home and ordered the course right away. While away, I knew I needed to recover and that I couldn't do this on my own. Part of me questioned whether or not I was even worth it. Now only 3 months later, change has happened!! I feel so much better around food, frequently I am not engaging in eating disorder behavior and I feel so much better about myself-in fact I think that is the most important change. Today is Thanksgiving Day in the United States and I am so thankful for this course---it has seriously changed me. I would totally recommend this course if you are struggling with food issues or eating disorder behaviors.

Read MoreMichelle’s 4x4 Freedom Express is a wonderful tool. The text and PDF’s are clear and concise, with very helpful visuals. The videos are a great complement to the text. Michelle’s true character shines through as a relatable and approachable friend; like someone you would feel safe confiding in. Breaking it all down step by step (or key by key) as Michelle has done truly helps to take some of the overwhelm out of the journey to recovery. Working one-on-one with Michelle was a very positive experience and essential to my recovery. It is clear from the start that Michelle is on your side; she is there to hold your hand and cheer you on as you take the leap to recovery. She is professional, yet at the same time totally relatable. She is kind, caring and non-judgemental as she talks with you. Through your conversations, Michelle helps you get to the root cause of what may be holding you back from healing yourself. She helps you reframe your thoughts so that you no longer experience your “triggers” the same way. Your recovery is a choice, and you are ultimately forced to make those choices every day, multiple times a day. It is Michelle’s kind and gentle voice that I hear throughout my day, each and every day, guiding me in the right direction. Making it through to the other side of an eating disorder is no small task. We all need help to achieve the ultimate goal - freedom. Michelle helped me get there, and I believe she can help you too.

Read MoreThis course is full of such insight and compassion. To have someone who really knows what an eating disorder is all about and who cares about your struggles. Michelle wants to see you free from your disorder and has such knowledge and tools to really help you on your way to freedom. Through the teaching in this course Michelle has shone a light into the darkness of my illness and as the light has come on there is now hope and a road to freedom. As I went through the course and more light shone for me I kept thinking: "This makes so much sense."! What Michelle compassionately and with great care explains about ED/DE and how to get free from them just suddenly makes such sense to me that I have complete hope for total healing and know that I am well and truly on the path to freedom, which is somewhere I have NEVER been since suffering from this illness for the past 19 years. Thank you Michelle.
