Testimonials
Ruth, UK 🇬🇧
After decades of living with a restrictive eating disorder, I genuinely didn’t believe food freedom was something meant for me. I had tried every option and yet I always found myself trapped in the same exhausting cycle. Working with Claire changed everything in a way I still struggle to put into words.
​
From the very beginning, she created a space where I felt seen, safe, and understood. There was no pressure, no judgment, no sense that I had to “perform” recovery. Instead, she helped me slowly untangle the fear and shame I’d been carrying for most of my life. It was through gentle probing, tough love when it was needed, and always a lot of care that I was able to shift my actions and my thinking. For the first time, I learned to trust my body rather than fight it. I learned that neutrality towards both food and body could actually be a peaceful, sustainable place to live.
​
Today, I can honestly say I have a relationship with food I never imagined possible. Meals are no longer math problems. Hunger is no longer a threat. My body doesn’t cause distress. And the gentleness, compassion, and steady guidance from Claire were the foundation that made that transformation possible.
​
I’m not “perfect,” but I am free, and that freedom is something I will be grateful for every single day. If you are struggling, if you feel like you’ve tried everything, or if you’re convinced recovery isn’t for you, please know: it is. Working with Claire gave me my life back.

I came to Claire at a point when I truly believed I was “too far gone” to change. After years of rigid rules, secret fear, and constant self-criticism, my eating disorder felt like part of my identity. I didn’t expect a miracle, I just hoped for a little less chaos. What I found instead was a level of support and clarity that completely reshaped my life and my beliefs.
​
Claire didn’t just teach me skills; she helped me understand myself. She asked questions no one had ever asked, offered insights that made me feel both challenged and deeply supported, and taught me how to build a relationship with food that wasn’t rooted in fear.
​
With structured support I found that little by little, things shifted. Foods that used to terrify me became neutral. Moments that once triggered spirals became opportunities to pause and reconnect with the bigger picture.
​
Today I can move through my life with a sense of ease that still surprises me. I eat what I want without guilt. I trust my body’s signals. I don’t obsess, overthink, or negotiate with myself before every meal. It feels like I’ve stepped into a version of myself I didn’t know existed but had always wanted.
​
Working with Claire was one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever given myself. Her guidance didn’t just help me recover, it also helped me reclaim joy, presence, and a self-worth that no longer depends on the size or shape of my body. I am endlessly grateful.

After struggling with a restrictive eating disorder for over 12 years and many attempts at traditional treatment, I still found myself stuck in quasi recovery. I had lost all hope and started to believe that “this is as good as it’s going to get”, which felt heartbreaking because there was nothing “good” about the place I was in.
​
I’d always read that “full recovery is possible for everyone”, but it sounded like something out of a fairy tale; too good to be true and certainly not for me… until I reached out to Claire for support, which turned out to be the best decision I’ve ever made for my recovery.
From the moment I started working with Claire, she has shown me nothing but kindness, compassion, warmth, patience, genuine encouragement, and unconditional support. She makes me feel safe, understood, and seen as a person beyond the façade of my eating disorder.
Claire truly goes above and beyond to offer individualised, multidimensional, and evidence-based support. Not only is she brilliant at providing practical tools and guidance around food and rewiring eating disorder neural networks, but she is also incredibly considerate of the other struggles I face, offering tools to navigate them while staying on track with my recovery.
She always knows the right questions to ask and insights to share, helping me feel empowered to set goals and commitments that align with my values and move me forward on my journey.
I also deeply appreciate being able to reach out between sessions when things feel hard. Claire unfailingly responds with the most attentive, thoughtful, and empowering advice, gently holding me accountable and helping me continue taking pro-recovery action.
Claire consistently encourages me to believe in myself, take ownership of my recovery, and show up for myself with kindness, self-compassion, and a whole lot of ED butt-kicking energy.
Never before have I dared to dream that full recovery is truly possible for everyone, including me. But for the first time in all these years, I genuinely feel real progress and believe I will make it through to the other side.
​
I’m not there yet, but I am confident I will reach a place of full freedom with Claire as the best coach and supporter on my recovery team. Thank you, Claire, for sticking with me through all the ups and downs. I cannot express how grateful I
am for all your guidance and support.

Working with Claire has been the best thing I have done for my recovery. I had already taken a number of steps, and worked with many ED specialists over the years, but it was in working with Claire that I truly felt empowered to do recovery on my terms, not the ED’s.
Claire’s lived experience created an incredible sense of trust and understanding from the very beginning - it felt like she could articulate my exact experience in a way that no other professional had ever really understood. From there I found myself more able to make the bold choices and do the opposite actions I knew, deep down, that I had to do. It hasn’t been an easy journey but I have been so grateful to have Claire on my team for moments of panic and to help reframe any setbacks that I’ve had along the way. She has taught me how to truly care for myself and be on my own team, rather than fighting against my body.
While I’m not yet fully recovered, for the first time in my life, I feel that it is not only possible but that it is inevitable. I feel motivated, empowered and committed to seeing this journey through to the place of full freedom that Claire encourages me towards every day.
