Welcome, I'm Lily
I am a Body-Mind and Eating Psychology Coach, Registered Nutritional Therapist, Yoga Teacher, Energy worker & Medicine Woman.
​
I am on a mission to support women in transforming their relationships around food, eating and their bodies after my own difficult experience with anorexia and body dysmorphia over time transferred into bulimia, binge eating disorder and orthorexia.
My road to recovery was not linear and whilst my eating habits stabilised over time, my thoughts and beliefs around my body and self had not. At the time there was limited support that combined the body and mind in the treatment process and I knew that my path was to support women in a healing process that I wish I had access to when I needed it the most.
​
For the past 10 years I have been dedicated to studying and working with clients using an integrated and embodied approach to healing food and body struggles for good.
​
​
​
There is no simple answer for why our food behaviours develop. our food behaviours are coping mechanisms that have developed in response to needing to create a felt sense of safety. Uwe are struggling with unmet physical and emotional needs food acts as a shield to protect us from the physical and emotional pain and trauma that has and is, being constantly hurtled at us.
We are not wrong to have turned the focus on food and our body as a way of coping - although we rationally know it is a false sense of security, it was and has, become the only resource that we believe we have in the moments we need to soothe ourselves.
​
We have learnt to use food to alter our state of consciousness.
​
Focusing on food and body transports us out of the present moment, away from connection with ourselves so that we do not have to feel the discomfort of emotional and physical pain and trauma. When we dissociate from ourselves (body and spirit) we become less aware of what's happening externally, we numb ourselves from the pain.
​
We begin to project that pain inwards, and we tell ourselves that we are undeserving, inherently bad to the core, unworthy and therefore unlovable. The pain we inflict on ourselves through our thoughts and behaviours towards our body is both our punishment and the comfort we seek.
You see, it’s not all about the food, is it? It’s not just about the size or shape of your body. It runs much deeper than that, through the cracks below the surface of the skin into the very core and heart of our being.
​
We dissociate from our bodies and focus on food to escape the physical realm, searching for a never-ending out-of-body experience.
​
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
Your relationship to food and your body matters.
Beneath the complex layers of fear and shame around your food behaviours and your body, lies your life source, your magic, your gold.
​
Dieting, disordered eating, eating disorders and body shame is a matter of the body-mind relationship that goes beyond food and eating and extends far beyond your cognitive and emotional relationship to food and body.
Embodiment is your path back home to yourself - the journey to living in and with the body where nourishment exists within body, mind and spirit.
WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING...
"Lily is not only an incredible space holder and spring of knowledge, she is a human being that puts authenticity before dogma.
Working with someone with lived experience of similar issues I have been trying to navigate for so many years has meant that the level of compassion and understanding she offers is beyond any patriarchal manual. Nope, Lily's approach is grounded, real and actually works."
"Lily has given me the tools to nurture my body back to health and helped me create a healthy relationship with food and body to understand exactly what my body and soul needs.
I have released deep-rooted fears around my body and food and I now understand where they have come from and how I was allowing them to block me from being myself and most importantly from feeling freedom, joy and pleasure."
