Hi,

my name is Crystal I began my career as a Registered Nurse in British Columbia over 14 years ago I have had the honour of caring for people in every stage of life. My expertise as a Mind Body Eating Coach is to help those who feel powerless over their eating behaviours fully expand into all areas of life. Most clients are very surprised to learn that their challenges with food have very little to do with food itself

Like many coaches, I found my way here through my own challenges. I had eating concerns most of my life. Some days I would wake up and eat junk food and not stop until I went to bed. I was using food to regulate my emotions since childhood I carried a lot of guilt and shame for my secret eating behaviours At 18, I got stuck on a vicious diet cycle, losing and regaining a total of 300 lbs in my 48 years I truly believed that I would never be able to eat like a normal person

Mind Body Transformation

After the birth of my third child at 41 years old, I dieted and exercised my way to a 70 lb weight loss. I was immersed in a numbers game. The scale symbolized food compliance and dictated my self-worth. Two years later I found myself living in peril of 100 lb weight gain I was in burnout and remember feeling anxious, depressed and ashamed of yet another diet failure As a nurse with a clinical mindset, I thought I knew everything necessary to lose weight, but just couldn’t do the things I knew I should do
