I was also a child with extra weight.  And the parent to one.  

So when I tell you that I understand what your family is going through - I mean that in ways that go far beyond my medical training.

I know what it feels like to be the child who is treated like the problem.  

And I also know what it feels like to be the parent, desperately searching for a way to help your child without shame, fear, or harm. 

I built this parent coaching practice because I couldn't find that kind of help anywhere.

So I created the support I wish my parents had been offered - and the support that would have helped me as a parent, too.
