I no longer struggle with food and for the first time in what seems like years, I've been able to relax around eating and enjoy it for what it is.

I'm really glad I found Lu! She's helped me to change my life in profound ways and I feel more capable than ever to handle what comes. I no longer struggle with food and for the first time in what seems like years, I've been able to relax around eating and enjoy it for what it is. I've become more in tune with my body's needs and know what foods make her thrive. More importantly, I've gained a new found self-love for this beautiful body of mine and no longer agonize over "imperfections."

Lu has helped me to choose celebration over criticism, which has completely shifted my perspective of my body, as well as my life. I always leave our conversations feeling like the best version of myself. She helps provide clarity in tough-to-navigate situations and guides me into higher states of self-awareness. I'm so thankful I have Lu on my side. She's been such a gift to me, as well as those around me, and I know I will benefit from our mentorship for many years to come.

Lu helps you to discover the person that's always been inside and allows you to embrace that and come home to it.

Lu has the ability to make you feel like she has known you from the moment you first talk. I'm a born type-A person with perfectionist tendencies - it is no wonder that I slipped into diet mentality so easily and became obsessive around food and exercise. Working with Lu, I slowly loosened that grip. I feel freer and like a new energy has awoken within me.

The amazing thing about working with Lu is that the transformation is not a jolt or a huge awakening (which is a good thing) - she helps you to discover the person that's always been inside and allows you to embrace that and come home to it. One day you look back on your old behaviors and you realize how far you've come. Working with Lu I realized where my values in life truly lie - I want to spend my time living and loving in my life and not wondering about my weight or food.

Thanks to the MEND Sessions, my entire attitude around food has changed.

My binges stopped and I began to feel empowered and confident. I started to explore foods I liked, ways to feed my family without stress and frustration and ways to move my body that didn't feel like punishment or obligation. The lessons and activities were valuable.

But, for me, the most life-changing part of the program was the personal coaching from Lu and getting specific recommendations for my situation. No matter how much I struggled to communicate my questions or challenges, Lu was invariably able to provide perfect recommendations for additional reading, point out activities that might be especially beneficial or simply offer helpful insight into my situation. This course and Lu's coaching have truly changed my life!

Lu knows just what you're feeling. And she shares recovery ideas that work.

After the MEND Sessions, I can finally see a life beyond the years of self-abuse and body hatred. I'm giving myself grace to eat what I want, when I want it and to move when and how I feel like it. While I still have difficult days, I'm able to accept each situation as it comes without assigning personal judgment.

I view myself as a capable human with a body that allows me to do and feel the things that bring me joy. My relationship with my spouse is much more positive and fun and we're sharing experiences together that never would have happened before the Sessions. I'm still working on developing a more positive body image. But, I have wonderful resources (thanks Lu!) and a support system that makes me feel loved, worthy, and beautiful at any size.
