My relationship with food didn’t start with food
It started much earlier: at home, with how food, emotions, and achievement pressure were handled.
From a young age, I learned that appearance, control, and perfectionism mattered.
Unconsciously, I absorbed that I had to control myself and that there was little room to feel what I truly needed.
Living abroad taught me, how stress and loneliness shaped my relationship with food
During my studies in France and later in the United States, the struggle only grew.
Living alone, far from home, coping with constant stress… I became entangled in losing weight, gaining weight, dieting, pills, and excessive exercise.
I was always thinking about food, my body, and how I looked.
Eventually, I developed bulimia nervosa and lived for years in a vicious cycle of control, guilt, shame, and fear.
My body sent clearer signals each day: fatigue, physical complaints, and anxiety about getting sick.
Those years showed me just how deeply my relationship with food was tied to my emotions and my body.
Becoming a mom changed everything
After the birth of my son, I was temporarily in a wheelchair and struggled with postpartum depression. It was a period of extreme vulnerability — but also the start of a profound learning process about myself, my body, and my relationship with food.
Slowly, I began to understand what food had meant to me for so many years.
It gave safety, control, and comfort.
But behind my food patterns were emotions, old beliefs, fear, sadness, and a deep sense of never being enough.
Step by step, I broke those patterns.
Today, I know what my body truly needs.
I naturally choose nourishing meals, my weight is stable, my body feels strong, and my mind is calm.
Now in menopause, I know my body, eat without struggle, and feel energetic and balanced
My body is changing, my energy is shifting — and yet now more than ever, I feel the power of nutrition and lifestyle.
Food has truly become my medicine.
I can enjoy this phase, feel peace of mind, and genuinely like myself.
And that’s exactly what I want for every woman who comes to my practice:
To break the pattern of overeating, snacking and binging, have peace of mind, know what her body truly needs, love herself and her body, and live life fully.
