- Eating Disorder Recovery Coaching
Nicola is a fantastic ED recovery coach. I had run out of options and hope that I could find any support for me with ARFID. I was very unwell when I reached out to Nicola but she was willing to work with me, the only person that was, and never gave up on me even when things got very rough. She made me feel safe to open up to her and was the first person to truly listen to me and how ARFID affects me. She has worked with me with where I’m at week to week rather than follow some predetermined recovery plan. She offers practical suggestions and support to any bump or mountain in the road and her 24/7 text support has been invaluable to me tackling recovery alone. She is kind and patient but also able to nudge me forward in my recovery in a supportive way. She believed in me from day one when no one else did, myself included. I simply would not be here today without Nicola’s exceptional coaching expertise and her genuine care for her clients.
After 13 years of struggling with ARFID, I was exhausted, alone and scared. I was ready to throw in the towel. I was then introduced to Nicola nine months ago. I finally felt heard, understood and supported. She has been the warm, patient, wonderful person I had been seeking. She has supported and pushed me in the most loving, direct way as possible. I was sceptical at the beginning as not only was I experiencing the ED, I had an enormous loss of sensitivities, allergies and a diagnoses list that never ended. I had an immense amount of fear. We both chose everyday to work together as a team. She has never left (something I feared as many coaches/ practitioners/doctors had). I definitely wouldn’t be where I am today without her! I look forward to our weekly meetings as she’s not only my coach but my friend. She’s an angel in disguise. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to work with Nicola. I may not be recovered yet but each and everyday I am making progress and I know I will get there with her by my side.
Nicola was just the support I needed in the season I was in and with her constant encouragement, text support, and weekly sessions, I made progress and began to believe in me more than I thought possible before! She became not only a coach but a mentor and friend constantly cheering me on no matter where I was at. Her support has made all the difference and she is the reason I can believe recovery is possible for me too!
When I got in touch with Nicola a year ago I did not know where to turn and felt so very worried and desperate to get some help for my daughter. Contacting Nicola was the best decision we ever made. Nicola is so kind, genuine and empathetic and she really connected with our daughter. She helped and guided our daughter in such a gentle way, and also supported and educated our whole family. We would highly recommend Nicola to any family with a young person struggling with an eating disorder. The lived experience she has had means she really understands what you are going through. We will be forever grateful to Nicola and what she has done for our daughter. Our girl has the light back in her eyes, and more confidence and resilience to move forward in her life with food freedom and joy in her heart. We love you Nicola!
