12-Week Program

Foundations of All-In Binge Eating Recovery with a down-to-earth approach. NEXT LIVE COHORT: FALL 2024**

Self-Study Modules are currently available at half off when you check out.

I’m Ready.

Free up your relationship with food (and with yourself).

If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ll know that I value authentic connection — so here’s my story, and why this program is here.

My life revolved (REVOLVED) around binge eating and body image for over two decades. It consumed 99% of my mental space and felt like part of my identity.

I tried everything — therapy, self-help books, outpatient programs, mindfulness, hypnosis, CBT, DBT, and every low-carb wellness diet I could think of — and nothing worked. A lot of it made sense! But nothing changed the bottom line.

I was almost 40 years old when I realized that nothing was going to change if nothing changed. Around this time, I learned about the non-diet approach and started facing some hard truths about what I might have to do if I ever wanted to wake up without food hangovers.

I spent almost a year going DEEP into the recovery process. I started piecing things together based on what I’ve learned from my background in Human Development Psychology, Occupational Therapy, and as a human dealing with this day in and day out. I came out on the other side not bingeing.

It wasn’t because I learned how to control my emotions or trick my mind into cultivating more willpower. That stuff never worked.

I learned that there are layers to this process that have to do with biology, nervous system safety, sensory regulation, and the difference between our primal and higher brain processes. I learned that the ways we are sometimes taught to control our binge urges can be counterproductive and keep the cycle going in the long run.

This work is based on a healing process that worked for me and for hundreds of other people I have coached. And it never gets old. I believe that binge eating can be a gateway to understanding who we are, what we really need, and how we carry strength.

FAQ:

Q: I'm interested but also nervous. How do I know if this is the right choice for me?

A: Heck, it's completely understandable to feel nervous. I haven’t met a client who wasn’t! This program is made for people who feel FED UP with the binge cycle runaround, who are committed to being done with it. That feeling usually reaches a point of overriding the nerves. Remember that this course is not demanding anything of you. You can use the support to jump "all-in" to Intuitive Eating, or you can use it to explore, learn, and integrate information at a slower pace. YOU get to decide. The material is yours to keep.

Q: Will I be binge-free in 12 weeks?

A: You may or may not be binge free in 12 weeks. The average length of time that I work with clients is 6-9 months, but recovery time varies. No one can promise you recovery -- but this course offers you core concepts that are fundamental to that process.

Q: How "hands-on" are you going to be during this course?

My goal is to be as hand-on as possible! I aim to answer every question you have on the group calls and FB page - I will respond to everything via comment reply, Live video, or private DM as applicable. I want you to feel like you are being held and supported.

Q: What if I get into the course and realize that I need more support, or want to enroll in weekly calls or text coaching?

A: Just let me know! We can arrange a time to talk to go over 1:1 options that will best support your needs. I understand that sometimes we need more intensive connection to move through such a vulnerable process, so if you find a need for that, please reach out.

Q: Will I get the modules all at once?

A: The first module will be available to you 24 hours after you register. The remaining 11 modules become available week-by-week so you have time to absorb information at a pace that doesn't feel overwhelming.

Q: My work schedule is all over the place! I don't think I'll have time to attend the weekly calls. Do I have to attend to participate?

A: All calls are recorded and reposted in the FB group so you can watch at your convenience! You are not obligated to attend any calls, but may want to watch the replays to learn from other people's questions. Calls are currently scheduled for MONDAYS at 1pm EST. (Note: calls are currently closed until Fall 2024)

Q: How much time will I need to dedicate to this course each week?

A: Each module takes between 1-2 hours per week to listen through and work on handouts/journaling as applicable. The live weekly Zoom calls are also approximately 60-90 minutes, and FB participation is as much or as little as you need during a given week.

Q: Can I join from anywhere?

A: Yes, you can join from anywhere! The weekly coaching calls are on Mondays at 1pm EST so you’ll want to figure out the time difference to attend calls. If the time doesn’t work for you, you can still submit questions for me to address on calls and play back the recordings.

Q: What if I don’t want to participate in a group setting, but would like the module content?

A: The modules are currently only available for self-study — new cohort opens Fall 2024 but you can have access to self-study right away.

Q: Do you offer discounts?

A: If you are a student or have financial limitations, please contact me.

“If I could give Stefanie 10 stars, I would! She's compassionate, intelligent and has a real talent for taking abstract concepts, thoughts, and feelings and putting them into words. Her guidance has been invaluable to me. Prior to finding Stefanie, I had been incorporating the principles of Intuitive Eating for many months on my own without the help of a coach. Through one-on-one coaching and later group coaching, I can say I've completely turned my life around. Healing and progress came much faster with expert guidance. After years of struggling with diets, being all-consumed by thoughts of food, and hating my body, I am now living a life totally at peace with food. This has given me the brain space to take on more creative and energy-giving pursuits.

Stef is a clear communicator. She is attentive. She's kind and supportive. I could go on. If you are someone who struggles with eating or obsesses over food or struggles with body image and low self-worth, do not hesitate to work with her. My only regret is that I didn't find her sooner.”

-Julie W.

“Working with Stefanie has increased my ability to cope with emotional eating, overeating, the urge to restrict, dealing with my emotions and let myself experience them, not living with guilt and shame, being more confident and using my voice, listening to my body, feeling my hunger cues, being able to enjoy food without constant thoughts about calories, accepting my body, and being more present. I highly recommend!”

-Lauren P.

“From the very first conversation that we had, you made me feel comfortable and safe to talk about my most shameful experiences and habits. I couldn't believe that life without binge-eating was possible. I just wanted to find help and recover. Thank you so much for all of your guidance! I’m so grateful.”

-Caroline D.

“Stefanie has changed my life. I have never heard anyone talk about binge recovery the way she does. She is able to put things into words in a way that makes you feel so understood and comfortable, never ever judged. And the way she presented material made light-bulbs go off for me all the time. I highly recommend working with Stefanie, no doubts or hesitations.” -Ryann B.

“Stefanie is a magic-maker. Working with someone who has been through it and “gets it” was so important. I always felt heard, understood, and challenged in all the right ways. Anyone who works with you is in the best of hands. I would recommend you a thousand times over, 10 out of 10.”

-Ally P.

“If you want to be at ease around food, learn to stop restricting, stop dieting, stop making "lifestyle changes" in secret hopes of weight loss, attend social events with little stress around food, and stop adding up your calories in your head all day, then work with Stefanie.

I'm a skeptical person. I didn't believe her multiple times when she would tell me things. And every time she was right. She knows what she's talking about because she has personally been there. She brings a professional and supportive voice to combat your inner critic. I am no longer someone whose main hobby is dieting. My daughter will not grow up watching her mom weigh herself everyday, portion out food, or speak badly about her body. Working with Stefanie has given me my life back.”

-Megan T.

I know where you are — I’ve been there too.
