SonderSelf was born from a desire to show others that recovery is not only possible, it is a magical gateway into a beautiful life.
Human-centered healing is my mission. At SonderSelf, our work is rooted in shedding the shadows of your struggles, learning how your eating had shaped you, & stepping into a world of food, body, & soul self freedom.
If you are someone who has felt a soul tug that says, “there’s GOT to be more to life than this. My story isn’t over yet. I want to live a full life.” I’m the coach for you.
Are you heart hungry? Here’s what makes me different from any other coach out there…I don’t just guide you to food & body freedom, I guide you to nourish the person you’re meant to be.
I’ve walked this journey before, myself. I know the ups and downs that come with having an Eating Disorder. Healing will require you to shed wounds, fears, & limiting beliefs. It will ask you to replace these with trust, an open mind, & courage.
Your eating disorder wants you to live from your wounds. I’m here to guide you to live from your WORTH.
When you work with me, we untangle the threads of pain and learn how to rebuild your life and identity from the root of your body, all the way to your soul.
I don’t do the work for my clients.
I’m simply the guide that leads them by the hand to do it themselves.
& when they put their heart and soul into this process, their lives are never the same.
When you work with me, we don’t just talk once a week about what’s going on and let you on your way. We explore the depths of your thoughts and feelings, shift ED behaviors into empowering ones, and use creative journal prompts and self care activities to help you get your life back. Every session I have is completely catered to each and every client. I’m here to help you feel held, seen, & keep you accountable. In this space, we don’t judge or shame the eating disorder. We dig to the root to uncover its role. And then, we plant a new seed that will bloom and flourish.
I’m here to bear witness to your truth. To help you dig into the earth of your heart’s desires.
I’m here to do things differently and completely change the way you see recovery, and yourself.
I am the coach for you if you are looking to do the work that will completely change your life. I’m the coach for you if traditional healing methods just aren’t sticking. I invest in my clients journeys the same way I invested in myself. The standards I hold as a coach are very high and I expect every client I work with to feel completely transformed by the time we finish coaching. And spoiler alert…they usually are.
MEET EMMA,
I am an em(body)ment of lived experience & the power of learning from ED, to let go and live.
Being recovered for years now, I have been given the gift of sharing my healing guidance with clients. As a CCI certified coach, I combine my lived experience with traditional coaching methods. I take an artistic, creative, & magnetic approach to coaching that sets SonderSelf apart. Recovery should be human, authentic, and an em(body)ment of embracing your truest self.
I struggled with Anorexia and Binge Eating Disorder for 16 years, After years of deep trauma & feeling disconnected from myself, things came to a crashing hault when I lost my dad & biggest supporter to suicide in 2014. I knew I had 2 choices: to allow my ED to guide me to a life of endless pain, or to turn my losses into strength and reclaim my life. I decided to break from the chains of my ED, and learn to live a life of peace, freedom, and humanness. After so many years of trying traditional forms of healing, a deeply painful loss of a loved one, & a desire to reconnect with my creative and spiritual self, I decided to recover on my own terms using artistic expression, creative journaling, meditation, & other off-the- cuff tools that were a game-changer in my journey. My coaching is what I call human-centered, because I focus on the person in front of me. Always. This work is my heart swell. Now, as an actor & coach, 2 years later after starting my business SonderSelf Recovery, I am serving humanity by showing others how they can recover themselves, find their true authentic self, access their passions & creative self expression, I have already served 20 clients across 9 countries, & am so grateful for the gift of what I am able to do!
A little taste of who you’re working with..
remember a time when my life was consumed by my eating disorder. I lost my passion, relationships suffered, and I didn’t know who I was. I escaped my pain through anorexia and binge eating. I tried EVERYTHING to get better. Nothing stuck. I felt tangled up between my old life and my new one. And I was ready to step into my power, no matter how scared I was. I wanted to feel at peace with myself. And when I decided to take recovery into my own hands; combining traditional healing methods with creative passion, recovery became my reality. Now, I have been fully recovered for 5 years, and have been given the gift of helping people find healing for themselves in a unique way that is unlike anything they have experienced before. I am a CCI certified coach, an actor and model, and a heart-led human. My expertise and magnetism as a coach comes from my lived experience. I am not a conventional person, and neither is SonderSelf. My vision is to offer food, body, & self image healing that dares to be bold, to take risks, to ask my clients to be brave and unapologetic in their experience. I strive to hold loving space for your light, shadow, and everything in between. Whether recovery feels like a distant dream, or you are simply craving more out of a life beyond ED, I am the coach for you.
A little more about me: Capricorn. Actor & Vogue published model. Moody is, in fact, my middle name. My favorite way to spend a Saturday is with a good book and coffee shop to read it in. Bonus points if they have a buttery, flaky almond croissant. My favorite way to start the day is with jazz and gratitude. I live, breathe, and speak magic into my life and work. Whether I am acting in a film or coaching, this is my gift.
