If tomorrow, women woke up and decided they really liked their bodies, just think how many industries would go out of business. - Gail Dines

The day I realised I don’t want to look back on a life of body shame and food obsession when I am 80 years old, was the first day of my freedom. Now, I am a learning psychologist specialised in body image and breaking the diet/binge cycle. Through coaching and online courses I help Dutch women recover from chronic dieting, binge eating and negative body image, from a weight-neutral, HAES® and intuitive eating perspective. I love having the privilege to see women breaking the chains of dieting and body hatred and reclaiming their lives.
