Path to recovered 👋 Hi! My name is Anne-Claire and I am a Certified Eating Disorder Recovery Coach, trained by Carolyn Costin through the Carolyn Costin Institute (CCI).

CCI-Certified Eating Disorder Recovery Coach ⎮ Certified Befriending Your Body (BFYB) Teacher ⎮ Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher (RYT500) ⎮ Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) in training ⎮ Book a FREE discovery call https://www.pathtorecovered.com I have also trained with Dr Ann Saffi Biasetti to become a Certified Befriending Your Body Teacher. Additionally, I hold a Master of Science from the Université Libre de Bruxelles, am a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-500) and am currently training as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. I use a combination of my trainings and personal experience to collaboratively work with you and your treatment team to meet your recovery goals and transform your relationship with food, your body (I am aligned with the HAES approach), and yourself so you can live a healthy, authentic, and fulfilling life. If you are suffering from an eating disorder, disordered eating, poor body image, or chronic dieting, and you are looking for someone who gets it and can give you non-judgmental, personalized support - you are in the right place!

I am officially a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner!

This training has been shaping my coaching practice over the last 3 years. (Thank you to all my clients for being curious with me and for being woven the tapestry of my learning. You know who you are 🙏💖)

Somatic Experiencing has also held me through some hellish years as I got diagnosed with cancer at the end of my first year.

So graduating feels expansive professionally and, at the very same time, intimately personal ✨🌱

In ultimate AC-fashion, I’ve already been thinking about what’s next (forever a student 🤓 - and no I won’t take notes on imposter syndrome 🙈) but I shall first practice what I preach and celebrate what an accomplishment this is and acknowledge how proud I am of myself 🥹

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Are you aware of the outside influences on your “why” and recovery goals?

Are these supportive of who you understand yourself to be or to want to become? Or are they another type of prison?

This is a BIG conversation that requires nuance and time (not quite conducive to being held here)
+
YOU get to be centered in that convo! YOUR values, dreams, longings, hopes for yourself & others (human & more-than-humans)

⬇️ examples

“I should not eat that”

Layers (in no particular order)
🧠 Knowledge acquired through work with dietitian
🗺️ Meal plan/guidelines
👀 Does this rule apply to everyone else?
❤️‍🩹 How does this fear/rule limit my life and/or impact my (physical & mental) health?
😮‍💨 Deep breaths + stretching to help soothe my nervous system/body (tight stomach)
🤗 Ask friend to eat with me
🤳 Text my coach for accountability

“I feel SO uncomfortable in my skin! I won’t eat until…”

Layers:
🫀 “I am human. Humans have bad body image days.”
🫶 What would I tell a friend? “This sounds hard. How can I help you be more comfortable today?”
👚 Change into super comfy clothes (my light & roomy t-shirt + mega soft stretchy leggings)
🍲 Food is non-negotiable. Which food sounds soothing?
🧩 Distractions! Puzzle or colouring + Netflix + Call friend later when they are done with work
🌱 This too shall pass.
💥 Later: challenge systems that have taught you sh*t about bodies

Do you have enough slices?

Frustration = you’re doing something meaningful
Frustration = you’re growing
Frustration = you’re committed to this recovery thing

As opposed to frustration being fuel for your inner critic or ED.

Yes this is hard.
AND
You’re showing up. That’s why it’s hard.
The gap matters because the goal (recovery!) matters.

That’s kind of a good sign, y’a know?

So what if the presence of frustration was a doorway to your healthy self?

⬆️ things I (still) do regularly for my mental health.

⬆️ things I might suggest if I were your recovery coach.

⬆️ things I know would bring GOLD into sessions when exploring how to navigate the harder parts of recovery. 🙂‍↕️

⬆️ things I know can be difficult to access. Because joy and awe felt inaccessible to me too, for a while. but making space to try, to experiment, to find my own versions of these = ❤️‍🩹✨🤩🙏🫀🌈🌱

👉 Which one are you willing to try out?

Some thoughts on “feeling READY” as I am (slowly) re-entering this space.

Come say hello! 👋

‼️Reminders on waiting to feel ready to start something new:

Be curious about what “ready” means in terms of conditions to start.

Are those fair? Are these conditions that you could potentially ever fulfill without the benefit of experience (aka starting)?

WHY are you considering doing the thing? Some things bring meaning and value to our life. Those get to be adequately prioritized. Not because our fears and worries don’t matter. But out of respect for who we are and who we are becoming.

We get to start and reevaluate as we go. Yes, having a plan is valuable. But so is flexibility. Tbh the latter is often much MORE valuable. Let’s do life in colours. Rainbow-style. Not black or white. Y’a know?

Messy and done is better than not done. We learn more from the messy practice than from theorizing before we start.

Are you starting from scratch? Be honest. Like REALLY honest. We tend to minimize what we already know and are capable of.

Feeling more confident with doing something comes with practice. There is no shortcut here 🫠

1) You are not a bad human™️ for struggling with your recovery, for finding yourself reaching for some behaviours again, for being tired of doing the work after so long, etc.

Please don’t add to your suffering by piling on the self-judgment and shaming yourself for having a hard time.

Even if I don’t know you personally: I know you deserve compassion, warmth, understanding. (Yes, even if “_____” - add whatever reason you just thought of. Even then.)

⬆️ is the core of what I wanted to say…

-

…but I’m feeling spicy 🌶️ because of some feelings ignited in humans I’ve talked to lately who are in recovery and absorbing many messages on various platforms ⬇️

2) Kindly: you might have lost the plot if you think it makes you a better human for getting “there.”

The point of recovery is to reclaim your ability to make choices based on your values and in alignment with your dreams. If you’re seeking yet another way to feel superior to others, I’m just truly unsure that’s what’s happening?

How intimate are you with your own rhythm?

How has the world, the culture, the environment in which you grew up shaped the rhythm of your life, the beliefs about how you belong to or fit in it?

What might the trees be teaching you about slowness? About letting go? About being rooted deeply within the earth?

What is the moon mirroring back at you through her monthly dance?

Prompts as an invitation 📝 or just a poem to enjoy ✨
