Weight Loss and Emotional Eating Testimonials

testimonials

I had hit bottom in my eating, weight, and self-esteem issues when I found Catherine Taylor’s website among the many offering coaching and counseling in weight loss. What attracted me is her honesty and transparency in her writing about her own journey. In working with Catherine, I experienced her honesty and transparency in action. She was like the “good Samaritan”, seeing a wounded stranger with compassion, helping her up, and nursing her to health.

 What I enjoyed most about working with Catherine is that she met me where I was at, week after week. Catherine did not shirk away from my wounded issues that sometimes felt pus-like to me. She tended to those wounded parts of me that needed healing and recommended tools and resources that I can use to help myself. Catherine mirrored for me the self-compassion and self-acceptance I had needed at the most critical time of my life. Working with Catherine is not just about weight loss, it is about living life. Catherine Taylor is a Master! Angie

They say when the student is ready, the teacher appears. With Catherine's help I have been able to lose 30 lbs. and keep it off for over 3 years now! Catherine has taught me it's not about food or weight, it's about how I live my life. Once I got rid of my diet mentality and softened my black and white thinking,  I was able to slowly integrate permanent changes in my life. The quality of my life has completely changed. I have learned how to relax and center myself and can meet almost any situation in my life without turning to food. This has been the greatest blessing of my life!  I could never have done this without Catherine's wonderful support and encouragement.    Lydia W.

Coaching with Catherine has helped me achieve my weight loss goals in a way that nothing else has. I had a life coach I met once a week with for four years, and during this time I never achieved any of my weight loss goals. In three weeks of coaching with Catherine, I haven’t missed a single day of running. The talks and accountability have turned my weight loss goals into a reality!  Dr. Ari Avmer, M.D., Beverly Hills, CA

I cannot recommend Catherine too highly. Catherine's gentle, positive, holistic, and action-oriented coaching has helped me far more than any psychological counseling or weight loss program has ever helped me before. She brings deep intuition, knowledge, and intelligence to her work. Catherine gets at the root of problems, clearing up space and energy for permanent change. Fear and stress yield to joy and pleasure. She is also deeply empowering (as so much "help" is not); that is, she makes every effort to work herself out of a job.    Kate Ward-Lehre, RN

I've tried close to everything to "cure" my binge eating issue with no success
...everything from various diets and structured workout plans to Overeaters Anonymous and sessions with a psychotherapist who specialized in eating disorders. In the time I've worked with Catherine, my thoughts and actions, not only with food, but with life in general, have signficantly changed for the better. I KNOW I am getting better every day and I have a TRUE feeling of hope. Catherine understands exactly what it feels like because she's been there too. I am so grateful to have her in my life! Angela

Catherine's coaching has helped me truly realize that it is NOT about the food.
  She has helped me find peace and calmness amidst the daily responsibilities and stress of my life.  She has helped me stay engaged in my life and not be constantly looking for distractions in food.  She has helped me understand and realize that when the body, mind and spirit are not operating in resonance we look for comfort in food.

The best part is that I see myself making progress where I have always struggled.    Jessie S.

I worked with Catherine for a period of 8 weeks. During that time we got very real and deep. Because of Catherine’s support and safe style, I was able to open up on a very open and honest level. I could share with her my deepest and darkest fears and truths about myself. I never felt judged; I felt validated.

That alone is a gift in itself. But not only was I able to freely express my emotions which were based on untrue thoughts, but with Catherine’s help I was able to transcend those feelings into more positive beliefs about myself and experience genuine healing.

In just a short time I went from depression and despair into a fulfilling, grateful life. I believe I was at a crucial time in my life when I was ready for change and at a turning point. I was fortunate that Catherine’s love and caring blessed me when it did.

My food is not perfect, but I can embrace all parts of myself so much easier now.  Every day I get better at practicing the tools of mindfulness, self-care and self-acceptance that Catherine instilled in me.    Mya K.


Catherine's coaching has helped me overcome years of struggle with my weight and eating patterns.
Through various methods of therapy I learned what my issues were, however, I never learned how to deal with them day to day. Catherine has a very different approach, which teaches real coping tools, and easy methods that truly work. My life has been transformed!    Jody M.


I have been working with Catherine for about a month now and for the first time I feel like I'm making some true progress.
Catherine is so extremely kind, supportive, and encouraging! I really feel like her life experience and struggles make her a good coach because she understands what it's like to feel out of control when it comes to eating. At the same time, she's overcome it herself and she has an understanding of the process of recovery. I look forward to continuing my journey with her!     Danielle

Catherine's coaching has opened my eyes to so many things I could not see. Her ability to relate to how I am and what I have gone through have helped me tremendously in ways traditional therapy did not. After every session, my eyes have opened a bit more to what my world really is and why. Thank you!   Patricia E.
