““I was a compulsive overeater so everything in my day to day life revolved around food. I had no knowledge or education around nutrition, food groups, and how they affect our cravings and health in general. I used to binge all the time and then punish myself by not eat anything at all for a day or two, which would eventually make me binge again as I was so hungry. I was stuck in this cycle for a very long time.
The very first session was extremely informative. I learned so much and got to dig deep into my eating habits. From then on I was equipped with a lot of information about a healthy way of eating which I managed to apply during the coming weeks. During this time I had “check-in” sessions with Marcelle, as well as opportunities to reach out to her any time whenever I had a question. Marcelle was extremely responsive, helpful, positive and caring which made it very easy to work with her.
I completely got rid of my “all or nothing” mentality around food and stopped punishing myself anytime I thought I eat something I shouldn’t have. I don’t binge or starve myself like I used to. It is such a massive achievement to accomplish.
I would recommend working with Marcelle for anyone who struggles with food. She has great knowledge and ability to explain things in simple language and she is always there guiding you through everything. It has been the best decision I’ve made to invest in my mental and physical health which are so closely connected to food. Marcelle has been instrumental in all my achievements!””

““Before working with Marcelle, I felt completely out of control. I didn’t have awareness of what was going wrong or know what I could do about it. My biggest challenge was breaking the cycle of bingeing and purging. In the back of my mind I did wonder why this would work when so many other things hadn’t worked before but working with Marcelle has been easy going and effective.
I’ve noticed many things I didn’t notice before about how I eat and what happens before and after. Marcelle’s understanding of how we digest has also helped me so so much. I used to eat mindlessly every time.
I’ve gained minutes, hours!, of life back. Living fully is a pretty good thing to gain.
I would recommend Marcelle to anyone who is ready to turn the corner to health and wellbeing. It’s been a blessing to be able to work with her.””

““I had a very disordered and unhealthy relationship with food which was causing me constant anxiety and damaging my physical health. I found it really hard to not feel guilty after certain foods/meals and certain foods themselves terrified me.
Before starting the programme, I was worried that Marcelle would not understand my mindset and therefore try and make me take steps that I was not ready for. I quickly learnt that she had so much experience dealing with people who had similar attitudes towards food and therefore she was sensitive in what she said to me and about progress.
Working with Marcelle has been great for reframing my negative attitudes towards food. It has been so beneficial to use her cognitive techniques, which I could not have come up with myself, to try and remove the irrational thoughts in my head.
I no longer fear certain foods or quantities which I would originally not have gone near. I pushed myself every week to try and break a food rule or ‘red food’ which made me realise things were not as scary as I thought. I also feel so much less guilty after eating and her reframing techniques are only improving this day by day.
Marcelle is so sensitive with her approach. She goes at your own pace and is so supportive. The journal and chat system is amazing to feel like you have her support even when not in a meeting. This definitely helped with my progress.
Thank you so so much for all of your help Marcelle, I cannot tell you how much I have appreciated working with you.””

““Prior to working with Marcelle, I was weighing out food, finishing my meals but still feeling hungry, and not knowing what satiety felt like. I didn’t know what to eat, in what portions/combinations to nourish my body and feel full. My biggest challenge was enjoying food and seeing it as vehicle to nourishment.
I grabbed the opportunity with both hands to work with Marcelle because I knew that my lifestyle and eating habits were not working for me. (Throughout the journey, I struggled to put the idea of ‘losing weight’ to the side and letting it go.)
The process has been restorative, healing and empowering to realise that my body knows what it needs and with Marcelle’s reassurance and non-judgmental listening I was able to confront a lot of unhelpful learned behaviours and begin to replace them with nourishing and compassionate behaviours.
I now feel emancipated from feeling moody, hungry and anxious about food. I’ve gained freedom from thinking about food all day long!” ”

““I came to Marcelle about my eating disorder, after suffering on and off for around 6 years. My biggest challenge was actually seeking the help as it was something that I thought I could deal with alone; especially as I hadn’t told any members of my friends or family.
At first, I was a little apprehensive about seeking help from Marcelle as I wasn’t sure what could actually be done about my disorder, as it’s not something a lot of people talk about and you never hear about any other success stories. I was also relatively nervous around divulging with someone about my disorder as it was something that I was seriously embarrassed about it.
Marcelle was so lovely and helpful from the off. She was very understanding of my situation and was able to give me advice that was able to help from the beginning.
Marcelle was able to help me change my perspective and guide me through each step of the process. She has provided me with methods that I will always be able to implement both now and in the future if I need it.
I would just like to thank Marcelle again for the help that she’s provided and would highly recommend her services. Seeking her help is something I will never regret.””

““I was miserable and reached a point where I knew that I needed someone with expertise to help me. It was more than my weight which was bothering me. It had gone beyond that. My mind had taken over and was wretched. I found Marcelle via searching on Google and everything she’d written about herself made me feel confident that I was going to get the help I needed. The first consultation with her compounded that I’d not only found help, but found someone I knew I would like.
It’s been a gradual journey. At the beginning for me, it was all about the weight and food but the more we had sessions together, the more I realised that we were working on my attitude towards myself. I was being helped to like myself, to accept myself and to look at the good parts of me instead of letting my weight do the judging for me.
I’d highly recommend Marcelle. She manages to combine running an extremely professional practice whilst being warm and reassuring. It’s been a really important journey for me and I’m so glad I chose her.””

““Before working with Marcelle I was developing anxiety, causing me to restrict certain food over fear of them making me ill in the long run. I would have up’s and downs and due to my restrictions would end up bingeing at times.
I no longer beat myself up about eating certain foods. I used to battle with them, restrict them or cut them out entirely. I have also learned to challenge my thoughts when negative thoughts come my way in relation to food.
Working with Marcelle was an eye-opening experience for me.””

““I had been struggling with an eating disorder for 10 years and wanted to overcome my final hurdles around food restrictions. Working with Marcelle has been a great experience. I felt fully supported throughout my programme - Marcelle was always available and pushing me to thrive. It has been a pleasure to work with you Thank you Marcelle!””

““I have always had problems with my eating and weight and went on my first diet at around ten years old. I’m forty- seven now and for the past four or five years have been doing lots of high protein diets to try and maintain a healthy weight but they had stopped being effective, I also felt they weren’t so healthy long term. I was keen to speak to a nutritionist about adopting a more balanced eating regime and Marcelle has helped me do to just that.

Over the six months I’ve been seeing her, I’m enjoying food much more and eating a colourful and nutritious range of foods, as well as taking supplements that are supporting me well and I’ve lost weight (I think, my clothes are looser but I’ve stopped weighing myself).

Marcelle was incredible patient with me throughout this process, I’m not the easiest client and some of my issues with food and body image are thorny and hard to deal with but she’s managed me well and with such kindness! I am incredibly grateful to her for helping get some of the joy back into eating.””

““Thank you so much for all your help. [My daughter] is so much more positive. I think before you she had given up all hope of ever being out of pain and as you can see she is so much more confident.

I know that besides your wonderful knowledge, there is an empathy and understanding that she feels has made a huge difference to how she feels and how happy she is knowing she can always contact your or book an online session.

Thank you once again for all you have done. What a difference you make, you change lives and it must make it all the more rewarding.””

““Marcelle really listens, she doesn’t impose a point of or makes you feel guilty.
She will help you embrace your body/health and work peacefully with it.
I really enjoyed working with Marcelle and felt heard beyond my mere nutrition issues.””

““I was bingeing most days on biscuits, crisps especially straight after work or in the evening and felt I was in a cycle I couldn’t break, also have been yo-yo dieting ever since I had my first child.
Marcelle has been so helpful and suggested so many easy steps. I was very nervous to talk about food issues but she has been kind, gentle and non judgemental throughout and so positive and reassuring too.
Since working with Marcelle, I have moved to a much more nutritious diet, almost given up sugar and refined carbs and stopped bingeing
If you’re thinking about working with Marcelle, Definitely do it - it will change your life in a good way:)””

““I came to Marcelle for help with Binge eating, emotional eating and over eating. She has been a huge source of information and support throughout our sessions. Marcelle was very informative and caring in her approach. I felt that she listened to me and catered the program to my needs. Learning how food, specifically sugars, affects my body and mood was an eye opener.
I have gained a new awareness about my eating habits and how to manage my cravings. I loved the idea of “troubleshooting” where I have learned to make better decisions around eating. Marcelle is an absolute pleasure to work with, she is attentive, she cares and she supports you throughout the sessions. I would highly recommend Marcelle.
Thank you again Marcelle for the support and the pleasure of working with you. These are lessons for a lifetime and I am very grateful for the opportunity.””

““Before working with Marcelle, I felt that my eating was ‘all over the place’ and I was out of control around food. Since working together with I feel calmer and more positive around eating and feel I have more acceptance of myself. Working on myself during COVID 19 has been pretty challenging (who knew it would happen...) but I feel optimistic about my eating pattern now. Thank you very much Marcelle””
