Finally, Food and Eating Can Feel Easy.

Hi, I'm Vania.

For years, I was caught in a cycle of binge eating, emotional overeating, and dieting. I was pulled between rigid control and chaotic eating, weighed down by guilt and cravings, always chasing the "perfect" way to eat. It was misery.

Then I discovered a radically different approach – one that didn’t involve fighting food. Instead, I learned to listen to my body’s wisdom and care for my deeper needs. Healing wasn’t about control; it was about embracing myself in a new way, with compassion and trust.

What if you didn’t have to fight food anymore? What if eating could be simple, and your body a place of ease? If you're ready to stop stressing about food and start living with freedom and peace, I’d love to help.

“When I first contacted Vania, I was lost. Overwhelmed by self-doubt and stuck in an intense binge-restrict cycle, I felt like I had nowhere to turn and no-one to talk to... Working with Vania has been life-changing. And I know that sounds hyperbolic but there is really no other way to describe the night and day comparison between my life now and before we started working together.”

My coaching services are tailor-made to help you:

  • Discover why you binge or eat emotionally, and how to stop.
  • Unravel your triggers around food.
  • Develop a joyful relationship with food, without dieting.
  • Learn to trust your body's wisdom.
  • Get tools to navigate difficult emotions, without eating to cope.
  • Skyrocket your self-compassion, self-acceptance and self-care.
  • Explore new, satisfying ways to meet your needs.
  • Develop a positive body image.
  • Reconnect with what you really care about.

Is my coaching right for you? YES - but only if:

  • You’re tired of dieting and fighting with food and your body.
  • You want to eat like a ‘normal’ person (whatever that is).
  • You’re willing to have an open mind about all the beliefs you have about weight and health.
  • You’re ready to put weight loss on the back burner and focus on repairing your relationship with your body and food.
  • You want to accept your body and move on with things that deeply matter to you.

My coaching is NOT right for you if:

  • You have an active restrictive or purging eating disorder.
  • You said no to anything in the previous section.
  • You just want quick tips (this is deep, messy work).
  • Your primary purpose is to find a way to lose weight without dieting.

“Working with Vania has helped me make the shift from black and white perfectionistic thinking that was keeping me stuck in the dieting mindset, to living a life where thoughts of what I should or should not be eating hardly ever enter my head.”

— Catherine —

Here's what I teach my clients:

Tools to make sense of why you eat when you're not hungry.

How to recognise your body's hunger signals, and where your off switch is.

How to eat when you're hungry and stop when you're satisfied.

How to make peace with food, so nothing's good or bad, and you're not being hounded by the Diet Police.

How to interrupt the compulsive cycle.

How to identify what you're really hungry for, when it's not physical nourishment.

Strategies to satisfy those other hungers.

Which foods feel nourishing to your body, so you can drop all the rules you've accumulated.

How to stop being so mean to yourself, and cultivate self-awareness, self-compassion and self-acceptance instead.

“The realization that I needed help to change was when the turnaround began. I couldn’t ask for a better coach than Vania, she is caring, compassionate and best of all I feel safe sharing all my feelings with her.”

  • “Working with Vania has helped me make the shift from black and white perfectionistic thinking that was keeping me stuck in the dieting mindset, to living a life where thoughts of what I should or should not be eating hardly ever enter my head. I feel at peace with food and with my body and this is freedom from a struggle that I had been living with for decades. Thank you.” — Catherine —
  • “Vania is an undiscovered gem, with a magical combination of knowledge, intelligence, empathy and humour. If you struggle to feel relaxed around food or to feel anything but hatred for your body, then talk to Vania.” — C.E. —
  • “My first session with Vania felt like someone opened a door and let a draft of cool mountain air into my claustrophobic existence. She immediately understood me. We’ve talked about it all! With humor and love and miraculous attention to detail, Vania lovingly and astutely becomes a mirror for me to see myself clearly.” — Jen L. —
  • “Vania has helped me do something I never thought possible – let go of a lifetime of body angst and find peace with myself, at whatever size. I can’t recommend Vania enough – the work we have done has changed my life, no exaggeration.” — Anna Stout —
  • “When I first contacted Vania, I was lost. Overwhelmed by self-doubt and stuck in an intense binge-restrict cycle, I felt like I had nowhere to turn and no-one to talk to... Working with Vania has been life-changing. And I know that sounds hyperbolic but there is really no other way to describe the night and day comparison between my life now and before we started working together.” — Brittany —
  • “When I came to Vania my bingeing was out of control... I knew dieting wasn’t the answer but I couldn’t find a balance between all or nothing... If you can, if you are prepared to really commit, then I would wholeheartedly recommend Vania’s method.” — Fiona P. —
  • “I have had body image issues and have been dieting for over 20 years. I was utterly unhappy, ashamed of myself, had no self esteem and I ended up in a destructive cycle of starving, bingeing and purging. My work with Vania started around a year ago and the difference between where I was then and how I am now is nothing short of miraculous.” — Nicola Newman —
  • “Vania is a gift. Please work with her. You will never, ever be sorry.” — Arlene Brennan —
  • “You are simply the best. With your help I have found my way out of ED, emotional eating AND I have found mindfulness, meditation and overall love for my own body and self. Thank you for doing this for me. It has taken a long, long time but all the work, commitment and patience bring the results :-).” — Carolina Diana Rossi —
  • “I am pleased to say that I have been binge-free for some months now and I very rarely have any thoughts where I put myself down for not doing as I ‘should’ have.” — Noorie Waheed —
  • “If you would like to be more at peace with food and yourself, I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Vania’s expertise. She truly is an amazing person to work with and I consider myself so lucky to have found her.” — A.H. —
  • “Vania has since supported me on my journey to develop the self love and respect that my life was missing... I never thought that I could escape that vicious binge cycle that I was caught in; it was all consuming – I am so grateful that I took that initial leap of faith.” — L.M. —
  • “I went to Vania because she showed up in my life at the right time, when I decided I had had enough. I was fed up with my obsession with weight, diets, and the never-ending roller-coaster of self-loathing that came with them as a bonus, that for over half of my life eroded any traces of self-respect and acceptance. Vania showed me in a kind, clear and encouraging way the path to live in the present moment and to self acceptance, which makes it possible to find a place within you where the chase for being thin never led you.” — Juli H. —
  • “I am practising mindful eating and it is working, I now nourish my body with food that sustains me and gives me joy and I no longer binge eat. The realization that I needed help to change was when the turnaround began. I couldn’t ask for a better coach than Vania, she is caring, compassionate and best of all I feel safe sharing all my feelings with her.” — L.A.L. —
  • “Before I met Vania I’d had a lifetime of eating emotionally, yo-yo dieting, always being conscious of food around me and how other people were eating and what they were eating; body conscious, and of comfort eating. Vania has helped me enormously become ‘peaceful’ around food and I feel really proud of the steps I’ve taken and the journey I’ve gone on and am continuing on. Vania has a lovely warm style, but is firm, she picks you up on things, and makes you question yourself, when appropriate, but always done in a nice way, coming from contribution and love.” — Anonymous —
  • “I found an ability to be honest with myself and approach my eating and my life with peace and respect. Vania is a wonderfully caring coach. She challenges and supports, and the tools she has to hand are incredibly valuable. You will find what works for you. But it’s not magic – you actually have to do the work.” — J.D.P. —
  • “In a mere 7 sessions, Vania has already enabled me to go places that 4 years of psychotherapy did not touch. I feel held, supported and safe. Nothing is too deep or daunting to touch. She is a warm, sensitive, mindful, humorous, insightful woman. I relish my sessions as I know each week some form of transformation will take place. Our work together is invaluable.” — G.W. —
