About Jesse

When it comes to eating disorders, I really get it!

Not only do I have 12 years of clinical experience specializing in disordered eating, but I have also been there myself!

I did it all. I restricted, overexercised, binged…and binged some more. I was officially diagnosed with binge eating disorder and exercise bulimia and finally hit a point in my life where I knew I had to change. I realized that this wasn’t the life I wanted. I didn’t want to be scared of food all the time, fixated on my body image, out of control in a binge, and dealing with digestive disorders that accompanied how I was treating my body.

Something had to change.

I learned about nutrition and started cooking, I ate mindfully (and yes, often completely freaked out!), took deep belly breaths (and sometimes simply lay on the floor in surrender!), stopped overexercising (this was REALLY hard to do!) and instead practiced gentle yoga and meditation. I reconnected with my body and learned to eat and live intuitively.

And no, this journey was not linear, no one’s is.
