I’m thinking of food/eating less often
It’s interesting how much my thinking has evolved in such a short time taking the Going Beyond The Food Method. I’m noticing I’m thinking of food/eating less often.

I am so thankful that I didn’t ignore that voice inside
I have avoided criticism my whole life but now in the Going Beyond the Food Method, I truly look forward to new revelations because with each “a-ha” moment, I am gaining ground and living a more joyful life.

Working with Stephanie has been a body, mind and soul experience.
Prepare to dig deep! Working with Stephanie is not like any other diet or nutritional counseling I’ve ever received. She gets to the heart of emotional issues and is passionate about sharing healthy new ways to live well while helping me work towards my goals.

I did not expect to end this program feeling happier about my life!
"The results of Stephanie's Program have been phenomenal. I am no longer suffering from nighttime panic attacks, my hair has stopped falling out, my mood has lifted, and my intense cravings for comfort foods have dramatically decreased. Food truly is medicine, and Stephanie taught me how to choose the best foods for my mental and physical health."

For the first time in my life, I am free to enjoy life.
Each week of the Going Beyond the Food program has been like turning stones, discovering new parts of myself that have been hidden and suppressed by years of negative thinking, dieting, and self-judgment. It has helped me experience countless “ah-ha” moments, the biggest of which was that I can be happy right NOW.
A life-changing program
I was depressed, binging daily, often anxious, irritable, and very mean to myself all day long. I was not in a good place at all. In fact, I felt pretty desperate. Also, I'd been diagnosed with thyroid, adrenal and other health issues.
As a result of working one-on-one with Stephanie, everything has shifted. First of all, I'm calmer, I'm more trusting, I feel like my body and I are friends again. Also, though my health isn't perfect, thanks to Stephanie's guidance, I trust fully that my body is giving me important messages that will guide me back to health and wellness. Finally, I feel so much happier more peaceful and generally less anxious/irritable.
I LOVED my one on one sessions with Stephanie. I felt listened to, cared for, and like I was given tangible ways to help!! Of course her interest in mindfulness and neuroscience, my favorite topics ever, was an even nicer bonus!
I will forever be changed. I know that this is just the beginning of my journey towards true health.

It’s a big shift in my mindset
Removing the restrictions has been helpful. It’s a big shift in my mindset after doing Stephanie's program. Labeling feelings has been crucial for me too. I find that I am feeling more in tune with my experiences and reactions to situations.

What I received there was unexpected, but so much better than getting back on diet!
The result of joining Stephanie's program - a completely new outlook on life, food, health and my body. I learned how to be grateful for the things I have/know/do, how to accept my body. I learned a lot about emotions - what they are, why they are here and what to do with them - so now I am much calmer in dealing with everyday stressful situations.

I have found Stephanie's program to be excellent
Loved the Going Beyond the Food Method. Stephanie, you are a wonderful advocate for all of us trying to move beyond the food.

I’m tearing up thinking about it because I have been struggling with this for decades!
The information that you shared about food cravings was life-changing for me. I have asked several therapists about stopping uncontrollable late night munchies. They’ve all offered up some truly unhelpful advice like “try having a protein shake” or “get those big chewy pretzels that take a long time to eat” (&%^ to both of those, am I right?)
I was blown away when you were talking in-depth about getting to the root of the craving. I’m tearing up thinking about it because I have been struggling with this for decades!

You may have saved my life!
Stephanie, you are amazing and very inspiring. Thank you. Your way of explaining things. Knowing it’s not all about the scale but about getting healthy. You may have saved my life! I have never felt so free of food and its hold on me. I have struggled with weight and food issues my full life. I am fighting demons every day and winning thanks to you! You will never know how much you have changed my life.

It was really enlightening...
It was really enlightening for me to use the guided activity to identify the repeat emotions that occur that I ‘use’ food to deal with & try to suppress the emotion rather than feeling it.
Doing the mental work, feeling my feelings and emotions in an honest way has enabled me the awareness and an open-minded approach to be mindful & create the needed change.

It's a holistic approach to your well-being and looking after yourself.
My perspective changed, I stopped chasing weight loss and started chasing health. I have a road map. The real information about food and how to listen to my body and what it is telling me, learning to respect and trust myself. Over time, I am becoming more confident and self-aware.
This is one of the biggest gifts you can give yourself. It's a holistic approach to your well-being and looking after yourself allows you to give more to others, it's not a quick fix but the journey for the rest of your life and this is the map.🍀

“Give a gift to yourself and do this!”
Loved all of it! All aspects of Stephanie's program were perfect!

There a lot of people who "teach" but Stephanie really is an expert!
Stephanie's program exceeded all my expectations!

Stephanie's program over-delivered and exceeded my expectations!
For the money invested, the program over-delivered. The fact that I was able to converse with Stephanie and others was an added value. The program is exceeded my expectations. The assignments were doable and the feedback was immediate and detailed. I would recommend to others wanting to invest in themselves.
