Food Freedom Coach

“Initially, I was very hesitant to open up and hold myself accountable to my eating disorder recovery. With Midi, she quickly became an integral part of my journey and has allowed me to blossom and challenge my thoughts and my emotions in an empathetic, warm, and encouraging space where I could be 100% authentic and vulnerable. Midi's kindness and ability to understand exactly where I'm coming from, and knowing how to politely challenge me, has made me become more myself than before. I know that despite any hurdles that come my way, Midi's compassion and understanding has given me hope that I will be able to overcome anything.”

“I have been having sessions with Midi since October 2023, and have already found it extremely helpful. At the start I didn’t think I needed coaching, because I felt like I could handle recovery by myself. However, after my very first session with Midi, I knew that there was more to my eating disorder that I was yet to uncover. From the very start I felt comfortable/safe talking to Midi and have never once felt judged. Every session with her, I have come out feeling happy, accomplished and prepared for what steps/goals I could do that week to help recover from my eating disorder. Even outside of our sessions, Midi takes the time to check in on me, and wondering how I am doing, which has motivated and helped me through the hard weeks. Midi has shared with me some of her personal struggles, and this combined with our similar faith, has helped me connect with her on a deeper level. For the first time, I feel as if I am making progress in recovery, and I couldn’t have done it without these lessons with Midi and her constant support.”

"Having to face the reality that I needed to address the eating disorder I had been dealing with since childhood was an incredibly difficult journey. However, it was a journey that led me to freedom. Letting go of control was scary, but gradually, I witnessed real-life evidence of how coaching for my eating disorder was helping me…Midi helped me eliminate many beliefs and restrictions I had about food, things that controlled how I ate and also behaved. She was gentle, kind and truly supportive throughout all of my recovery. I started eating without guilt or the pain of betraying myself for ‘breaking the rules’…Today I’m conscious of triggers that may lead me to overeat or want to restrict foods…To anyone thinking about it, but hesitant to do it, I promise that you will gain parts of your life back you never thought were possible. I would recommend working with MIdi without a shadow of doubt!”

“Midi is incredibly empathetic, warm and non-judgemental. Her ability to tailor our sessions to meet my needs at that moment has given me the flexibility to tackle the roller-coaster that is recovery. Working with Midi has provided me with a huge source of hope on the days when I think I have no hope. She helps me to feel heard when I am struggling but never fails to remind me that I am capable of overcoming my eating disorder.”

“I am very grateful to have Midi as part of my team - she has been a huge asset to my eating disorder recovery. Midi is very compassionate about her job and her clients…she’s easy to talk to, she believes in my recovery and provides unconditional support. She has given me the skills and tools I need to tackle my eating disorder head on, and I am a better person because of it.”

“Through my Southern Cross medical insurance I was able to have 3 free sessions with Midi. As someone who struggled with serious eating disorders in my teens/young adulthood, I found myself slipping into unhelpful eating patterns in later life, after a difficult few years. With Midi’s guidance I have quickly been able to get back on track. I am no longer binging through the night and feel much less anxious around cooking dinner for my young family. I cannot recommend Midi highly enough. She is kind and empathetic and was able to provide practical tips to make eating and mealtimes easier and more pleasurable. Thanks so much for your help, Midi.”

“For me when I first decided to get help when I was in a really bad place and all I wanted was to get better, which is when Midi was suggested to me. She helped me from the start and showed me how I can love food and myself. Supplying me with coping mechanisms and other ways of assistance. I’m forever grateful that I found support and someone to help me along my journey of recovery.”

“Midi provided really useful, skills-based, practical support, targeted to the concerns that she also helped me in identifying. I accessed her through my EAP, and almost didn't go ahead with it for my own reasons, but I'm so glad that I did. I still need to keep practising, but I have more tools now than previously that I can keep going back to as well.”
