"I am a recovering anorexic and bulimic, and have worked with Hannah for around 8 months now. She is a person I can talk to. It is nice to know that I have some one who knows about eating disorders, and is able to help. She is like the perfect person for me to talk to because of her "what can I do to help you" attitude. About 1 month ago I realized that I was losing weight once again, and not eating enough (the beginning to an anorexic relapse).  I asked Hannah to help me before I went out of control."

 "I went to her because I knew she had the knowledge to show me how to eat what my body needed. She even took me to the gym and showed me the right way to exercise. Now I am back to eating when I am hungry, and stopping when my body says stop (not when my mind say stop). Without Hannah I think I would have lost too much weight and be back into my eating disorder." 

 "This is even before she has gotten her degree; she will have even more ways of helping once she is done. With help and support from a smart woman like her helping me with proper diet and exercise I am able to live normally."

 "Knowing the extreme ways that food, and exercise affect a life I find that I am most happy when every thing in balance. Things are not balanced when on a diet, or when the body does not weigh what it should. Hannah was able to give great ways to show me how to even things out. It turns out when I am able to eat the right way and exercise I have more energy, more focus, and a better life. It seems like our culture needs help with that. Just look at the TV. Commercial.... one second there is a fast food adds, and the other there is a diet pill telling us to "lose pounds fast". Truly there is only 1 thing that works and that's good life style choices. Hannah helped me figure out what choices are right for my body, and essentially my mind, she will be able to do the same thing for you."  - K.D., age 16
