“Before my work with Kimmie I had orthorexic notions of what I could or could not eat, and so I would vacillate between restricting myself from eating ‘bad’ foods and then bingeing on them from the deprivation. I was afraid of certain foods, because I felt out of control when I ate them. Throughout the process, I loved how gentle and nonjudgmental Kimmie was, guiding me little by little toward a healthy relationship with food, introducing new steps in the process only when I was ready for them. Now I’m able to recognize what hunger and fullness physically feels like again and can trust those signals from my body. Emotionally, I no longer have to feel shame from eating certain foods or for eating more than I had planned to. The balance and compassion that our work together have introduced into my life have replaced anxious obsession and depression around food behaviors.”

“Before working with Kimmie, I was trying to navigate the shifting narrative around diet culture and my ability to eat food in a way that felt confident. I had disordered patterns that were always one step away from a more severe form of eating disorders. Since my counseling a few years back, I feel I have been better equipped to care for myself. My body has grown a bit larger than when I was working with Kimmie, but it has also seemed to find and remain in a set point range. I am trying to even move beyond body neutrality and into body celebration- trying to actively love my body more than in the past. I am also more aware of the importance of advocacy for larger-bodied people. This part of my journey is one I know will stay strong within me. I loved Kimmie’s accessibility - she was so easy to open up to and felt so easy to trust. ”

“Before seeing Kimmie, I equated health with goodness/worthiness. But after seeing Kimmie, my relationship with food changed - I fully ditched my idea of diet culture and modified my thinking. Kimmie was warm, inviting, inquisitive, and not judgmental in the least!”

“Food was destroying me and keeping me from living my life and doing the things I love with the people I love. After working with Kimmie, I’m healthy probably for the first time in my life, I value my life, and I’ve learned to start putting myself first in terms of my physical and emotional needs so that I can show up for others the way I want to.”

“Working with Kimmie felt like working with a friend. She approached everything with curiosity and not judgment. Since working with her, I now have confidence in my eating choices and less confusion.”
