New!  Online appointment scheduler

I’m happy to announce that I have added a new online appointment scheduler to my website.  I love gadgets and software like this that help keep my life simple and organized.  I think you’ll find it quite easy to use too, and rest assured that all of your information will remain confidential.  To book an appointment, just click http://healthehunger.clickbook.net/ and follow the instructions.  Easy as pie!  You’ll also find a button on my Contact page that says “Book Now” for future use.

You can, of course, continue to schedule appointments with me the usual way.  Just give me a call or email me to set up a time, or to reschedule your appointments if you’re a current client.  See the Contact page for my contact information.

New!  Additional office location in Westmount

I am pleased to announce that I have officially joined a brand-new wellness clinic called inspira crea located steps away from Westmount Park.  It’s a gorgeous, large, and spacious clinic housed in a Victorian-era home, and is dedicated to helping people thrive, in mind, body and spirit.  I’m looking forward to growing my practice in the area, and working with a team of dedicated wellness professionals. If you live or work in the city, and are ready to make a lasting, positive change in your life, now is the time to set up a consultation! 

The new office is located at:
4455 Sherbrooke St. O
Westmount, QC H3Z 1E7
Directions: Google Maps

“Virtual Tour” of my new office

Now that I’m nicely settled into my new office, located in the Clinique Psy-Sante, I’ve taken a few pictures to share with you. I truly enjoyed planning out the space, and filling it with furnishings and decor pieces that I feel create a warm, inviting, and zen-like atmosphere.

Space is very important, especially in the work that I do.  It’s important that both therapist and client feel safe and “enveloped” by the room around them, as this room is the place where pain is shared, and hope is born. Let me know in the comments what you think!

The Makeover Show: Post-Show Update and Pics

A few weeks ago I participated in The Makeover Show, which was a great experience.  Besides being loads of fun, it was great to connect with so many wonderful people who are into “makeovers” - especially of the personal growth kind.  I had some fun giveaways, including fridge magnets, green apples that “matched” my table, and a raffle to win a copy of my favourite emotional eating book, “Breaking Free From Emotional Eating” by Geneen Roth. Check out the pictures below:

Me at my table, with my freebies and giveaways.  I loved the way my “Makeover” banner turned out!

Kudos to my sister (a former event planner) for helping out with the colour scheme and decoration!

Deep in conversation!

I’ve been featured in the Montreal Gazette!

I was recently interviewed by Stephanie Whittaker of the Montreal Gazette on facing your fears. Check out the full article here.

New website launched!

After much anticipation, I have finally launched my newly redesigned website! In addition to a sleek new look, my website now features a well-integrated blog and a continually growing list of free resources to help you end your struggle with emotional eating.  Be sure to sign up for my newsletter and get my free report, “5 Ways to Get Control of Your Emotional Eating” (look to the right of the screen, near the top). 

If you like the look and feel of this site, I highly recommend the services of Depthskins Design Studio - check out their website at http://depthskins.net/

Welcome to the Heal the Hunger Blog!
