I battled Anorexia Nervosa for 15 years and very nearly lost my life to the illness. I was given up on by my treatment team and told to consider palliative care options. My miraculous recovery was a catalyst for a complete career change. I left my hometown of Auckland, New Zealand and moved to my ‘happy place’ – the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia. Where I became determined to use my lived experience to help bring eating disorders out of the shadows and into the light. I dedicate my time to eating disorder advocacy and eating disorder recovery coaching. As a Carolyn Costin Institute Certified Eating Disorder Recovery Coach, and  NLP Practitioner, I help clients around the world to gain freedom from their eating disorders and reclaim their lives.
I worked for many years with the Sunshine Coast-based charity endED, where I was involved in numerous projects, including establishing Australia’s first residential eating disorders facility, Wandi Nerida. I now have my private practice, HealED, and co-host the RenourishED podcast.
I believe that no matter how long or how hard someone’s journey with an eating disorder has been, full recovery is always possible; I’m living proof of that.
