WORDS FROM PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS

From Self-Hatred to Self-Care
"I just never thought it would matter - taking care of myself. I knew how to take care of others. But, no, not myself. The longer this went on, the more my awareness of myself as someone who needed care shriveled. I was fine. Except that I wasn’t. I was deeply damaging myself in private. And seeming fine in public. My anxiety and self-hatred became volcanic. And then I met Sarahjoy."

"Wow, to understand the roots of self-hatred and food compulsion! And, not just to understand it, but to learn how to become free! My first steps in self-care felt very awkward. But Sarahjoy’s guidance, step-by step, along the way, I learned how to do it! Self-care became normalized for me! I now nourish my body, my brain, my mind and heart with a love and respect I would never have imagined."
This Answered My Prayers
"This program was literally the answer to a deep prayer and years of searching for support that really spoke to all parts of my being and integrates the language and practice of Yoga that I love in a way that is truly receivable."

There Is Nothing Wrong With Me!
"I appreciated the concept of there being nothing wrong with me because I believed that there was everything wrong with me. I grew up feeling like I wasn't enough or that I would never be enough. The support I received from Sarahjoy and the other participants helped me believe in myself and that helped propel me forward to the next modules."

WORDS FROM PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS

The Scale Cannot Determine My Worth!
"I did not want to be lost in food and regret for the rest of my life. Nor did I want to be ruled by my unkind inner dictator for the rest of my life. But it had all become so habitual. Even when I planned not to binge, I found myself robotically doing it again. And again. My disappointment in myself was huge."

"Sarahjoy completely transformed my perspective on this whole awful mess! Then she showed me what to do and how to do it. The yoga tools have been profoundly life saving. Now I know how I want to feel for the rest of my life: Confident, Loving, Courageous, Capable, and Whole."
The Group Support Calls Transformed Me
"The Group Support Calls were an extremely important part of this course. The calls brought up and showed me my deep (but false) feelings of shame, inadequacy, and non-belonging, and then the support and connection of the group over time helped to heal this a lot. We started as strangers, but it didn't take long to feel very close and really care about the other women in the group, and to feel that from them too."

A Sense of Community
"The sense of community has been lovely and so integral to my ongoing recovery"

A Life Changing Program
"The HOPE part of hunger, hope, and healing is very true. Before I didn’t see a way out. I am not there yet, but I can see being free of my food addiction as a future reality. This is a life-changing program."
