My Inspiring Story of Weight Loss and Healing
I wrote this book to spread hope among overeaters.
My memoir describes my pain growing up and living 40 years as an overeater and the circumstances that kept me in this vicious cycle.
I share how I transformed on a physical, emotional and spiritual level to lose 1/3 of my weight which I have now sustained for 7 years.
I hope to inspire you to befriend your body and begin to cultivate connectedness between your mind, body and soul. At a time of deep uncertainty, caring for yourself is the only certainty.

“This book was recommended to me by a friend, since, as a physician, I frequently refer my patients with pseudotumor cerebri (IIH) for weight loss programs.
Most weight loss literature out there makes patients "feel guilty" about over-eating which frequently has a detrimental effect. In contrast, this book is an interesting read that sheds a lot of light on the reasons for overeating. It addresses the problems from the root, rather than addressing the symptoms, thus the higher and longer lasting successful results.”

In my book, I share how I healed my relationship with food
-
You will realize, just as I did, that overeating is not the source of the problem but rather a coping mechanism against unease. I was born with a great hunger that no amount of food could fill.
-
I will take you through my journey of sustainable weight-loss and you will get to understand the physical, emotional and spiritual transformations that were involved. You will learn how to find fullness outside of food.

I hope to inspire you to befriend your body, and to develop connectedness between your mind, body and soul. In these times of deep uncertainty, caring for yourself is your only certainty.
“Amazing book. Grab yourself a copy. It is a short read, yet profound, deep and beautifully written by a beautiful soul.”

Rouba Chalabi
I was a workaholic and overeater for 40 years, struggling with a food addiction before undergoing my own radical physical, emotional, and spiritual transformation.
I healed my relationship with food and reconnected with myself.
The result of this? I successfully lost 1/3 of my weight and have sustained it.
Since my own transformation, I retrained as a food addiction counselor and biodynamic breathworker, blending these modalities together to help others find harmony within and transform their body-food connection.
