Hi, my name is Georgie…

I am an Eating Disorder Recovery Coach, Yoga & Meditation Teacher, and Mother. I specialise in Embodied Self Awareness & Internal Resilience Practices. My heart’s calling is to support others in moving beyond food and body image struggles and into the direct recognition of who they truly are—free from the thoughts/perceptions, beliefs, emotional reactivity and behavioural patterns that keep them feeling ‘not enough’.

Through deep listening and attuned questioning, I support you in uncovering what lies beneath the surface—bringing clarity and perspective shifts that support real change. My understanding of the mind and ego has been shaped by years of dedicated stillness, self-enquiry, and lived experience of recovering from a 16-year battle with Anorexia & addiction. I know firsthand the exhausting cycles of fear, self-judgement, control and shame—and I also know the profound freedom that comes when you no longer identify with them.

My approach integrates Self Recognition, Self Enquiry, and Self Regulation practices, guiding you to step out of survival mode, unravel unconscious conditioning, and cultivate an unshakable inner stability. When you learn how to truly be with challenging feelings and emotions, see through personal narratives that block you from taking aligned action, and recognise your authentic self beyond the Eating Disorder, recovery becomes a natural unfolding.

This is not about managing symptoms, fixing or improving yourself—it’s about coming home to yourself. I’d be honoured to walk this path with you…

A Glimpse Into My Recovery…

When I was 14 years old I had my first hospital admission into a psychiatric unit, after being diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa. I spent the next 10 years in and out of hospital, close to death, with no end in sight to recovering. How did I end up there? I was a gymnast, ballerina, musician and did well at school, yet was crippled with self-doubt, perfectionism and an underlying fear of not being ‘enough’. I was conditioned to be a ‘good girl’ and my attention became hyper fixated on pleasing people - trying to contort myself in any way that I assumed was desirable. My sense of self was based in judgement, as I looked for validation of my worthiness through the eyes of others. I was terrified of not being accepted, loved and approved of and felt completely out of control amidst not knowing how to deal with big life changes. My Eating Disorder manifested as a way to cope with these deeply uncomfortable feelings. I didn’t know how to authentically be myself.. What did that even mean? I believed, without a doubt, that Anorexia was who I was, my identity, and I went to extreme lengths to protect and defend this identity.

Who would I be without my Eating Disorder?

I saw countless psychologists, psychiatrists, dieticians and doctors - the general consensus was that if I didn’t die, then the best case scenario was that I would ‘manage’ my illness for the rest of my life. During my final 6-month stint in hospital, I came to the recognition that my life was not going to change unless I confronted and questioned the fearful thoughts I believed to be true. I finally found a beautiful psychologist who consistently met me where I was at and didn’t pressure me to talk. We spent many sessions simply going for a walk, making art or doing a yoga or meditation practice together. She showed me what genuine listening is and how to drop into presence - the effects on my nervous system were palpable. I fell in love with yoga, as the practice expanded my capacity to sit with discomfort. For the first time in years, I was experiencing moments of peace and a visceral sense of stability. I slowly developed strength that cracked through some resistance. I had a shift in willingness to look at the shackles of my mind that kept me bound inside a prison of my own creation.

My journey of self-discovery took many twists and turns…

On the outside, it appeared as though I had recovered because I was eating, my weight had increased, I was staying out of hospital, becoming more independent, participating in life and surprisingly having some fun! Things had improved, I was diving deep into exploring holistic healing modalities but my Eating Disorder was starting to feel threatened because I was expanding beyond it. I wasn’t aware at the time that my Eating Disorder was trying to put the brakes on my growth - I experienced an increase in self-sabotaging behaviours, shame, distractions, addictions and interpersonal drama.

These behaviours generated ‘proof’ to my Eating Disorder that I needed it in order to feel a sense of control. I was still a slave to following the thoughts that were generated by fears and past limiting beliefs, whenever I was uncomfortable. I was pursuing the idea of recovery, but if I really looked at the truth, I would see that it was just another delusion. I still believed my Eating Disorder was serving and protecting me, despite it generating an immense amount of suffering. I was stuck in an endless loop of believing that I needed to add something to myself in order to be loved and accepted…

I had placed the idea of fulfillment in identifying with external, ephemeral things that were fundamentally not who I was.

It wasn’t until I received radically honest support to learn how to experientially separate myself from my Eating Disorder, that significant shifts took place. Through my willingness to recognise I was aware of my thoughts, I started to sincerely question the very convincing voice in my head that sounded like me.. If I could perceive and question the voice, was the voice truly me? Through deepening this awareness I gained the confidence to take small steps of aligned action that gradually loosened my Eating Disorder’s grip, until it no longer had a hold on me. I continued to develop trust in myself, beyond the voice and images in my mind. This didn’t stop the fear and doubt from coming, but I now had tools to face any challenge. My dedication in developing the habit of witnessing and questioning my thoughts/perceptions (every time I don’t feel at ease), is the reason I no longer suffer from an Eating Disorder.

Through learning & embodying these processes, 16 years living with Anorexia is over, and with that, every area of my life has transformed.

I would be honoured to share these potent practices with you and walk beside you on your journey home to yourself.

With love,

Georgie
