This is the story of Lisa (name altered for privacy), a young woman with severe anorexia, borderline and a desire to stop living.

Lisa had been in voluntary care and forced care, worked with therapists, diëticians and more. Some of them temporarily helped, but the desperation, struggle and pain always stayed.

"When Lisa's story came on my path, I was very touched. There was this family; a father, a mother and a daughter who was so sick, the parents were completely at their wits end. And there was Lisa, who struggled so much from body dysmorphia and a severe eating disorder, it was heartbreaking.

When her father told me about their story, I decided to reach out and offer my help. After working with many private clients, and having healed from an eating disorder and harsh self-image myself, I felt I could mean something to her.

I sent her my website and waited..... Two months later Lisa contacted me, and we decided to meet online to see if we're a good fit. We clicked immediately. She felt that I understood her and having a matching humor together helped significantly as well.

Very soon after that initial call we started weekly coaching sessions in which we talked, meditated, visualised, practiced mindfulness and did Yoga. Lisa learned how to be connected to her body and even appreciate parts of it."

Since our sessions Lisa has had significant changes in her life:
- she is able to handle tough situations without punishing herself
- she is able to allow feelings and emotions to be there instead of pushing them away
- she learned that acceptance is so much easier than fighting
- she learned to like parts of herself, sometimes even feel proud of herself

After a few months of private Yoga, Lisa decided to take a brave step; move away from the big city she lived in that came with harsh surroundings, an impersonal way of life, and no support system. She moved back to her hometown, something she never thought she'd do. This bravery and this move had an immediate impact on her wellbeing, and only a few days after moving back, love came on her path. One year later she's still in this loving and supportive relationship.

Lisa started to like and love things about herself, and is able to see her future again. She couldn't see that future at all when we started. She had lost that future, but now she's found it again, and even better, she's living it!

Lisa is well on her way to more healing and I couldn't be more proud of her.
