Transforming Lives: A Journey to Intuitive Eating and Body Liberation
I had the privilege of witnessing a remarkable transformation in one of my clients recently, and I couldn't wait to share her inspiring journey with you (with her permission, of course). This mama initially joined my group classes last year, and when I offered a special on my signature program last October, she decided to take the plunge and work with me one-on-one.
When she first came to me, she bravely rated certain aspects of her health on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being the worst and 10 being the best. Her scores revealed a struggle that many can relate to:
In October 2023, this client rated:
Overall health: 5
Mood: 5
Sleep Quality: 5
Digestion: 5
Energy: 3
Relationship with Food: 4
Immune Health: 6
Ability to Cope with Stress: 7
Movement: 5
Body Satisfaction: 1
She was caught in a cycle of secret eating, skipping meals, and battling with feelings of guilt and shame around food. Trusting her body felt impossible, and she was stuck in a restrictive mindset.
She doubted whether intuitive eating could ever work for her, let alone lead to peace with her body.
We began our work by focusing on her nutrition—establishing regular eating patterns, balancing meals, and planning ahead for nourishing snacks. From there, we addressed her relationship with movement, shifting the focus from weight loss to joyful, enjoyable activity. Together, we tackled her negative thought patterns, replacing them with more supportive, empowering beliefs.
Six months and just six sessions later, her progress was nothing short of extraordinary:
Overall health: 5 → 7
Mood: 5 → 9
Sleep Quality: 5 → 7
Digestion: 5 → 8
Energy: 3 → 8
Relationship with Food: 4 → 7
Immune Health: 6 → 8
Ability to Cope with Stress: 7 → 7
Movement: 5 → 7
Body Satisfaction: 1 → 7
She not only experienced improvements across the board in her health but also noticed significant shifts in her day-to-day life. Her mental load lightened, her thoughts were no longer consumed by food, and she found herself enjoying more quality time with her family. She is enjoying so much more of her LIFE.
Here’s what she had to say:
“Before I started working with Sammie I was stuck in a belief system that didn't serve me. Every thought I had was about weight and food. Sammie helped me release some of that mental load and gain a new appreciation for my body. Sammie's kind words and counseling helped me make a seismic shift in my mindset and perspective. I feel free of my past worries. The journey to body acceptance and intuitive eating is a long one, and I am just at the beginning. Without Sammie, I don't think I would have ever started.” - Kaitlyn
Stories like Kaitlyn's are a testament to the power of our work together. It's not uncommon for my clients to experience such profound transformations. The mental load from food and body struggles significantly lifts, paving the way for sustainable, health-promoting habits and genuine wellbeing.
