Mini-Profile
I work for a company called Winning Minds (www.winningminds.co.uk) our practitioner, Mark Newey, uses a combination of NLP (neuro linguistic programming), coaching and hypnosis to free his clients from depression, stress, anxiety, eating disorders, phobias, addictions and all sorts of mental issues in just four hours. We have literally had clients who have walked away from a 20 year history of depression after just two sessions with Mark.
The reason I now work for him is that I suffered from very severe bulimia nervosa for 10 years and Mark cured me in just two sessions. I had tried everything - antidepressants, counselling, CBT, as I was desperate to get better but this was the only thing that worked. Now I work for Mark I realise how and why but at the time it seemed like a miracle.
I have been free from my eating disorder for over one year. I am now a part time plus size model, I do motivational talks and lessons at local schools and colleges on body image and eating disorders, I run a weekly helpline for people who want confidential advice on eating disorders and body image related issues and I’m an ambassador for a national campaign called “Body Gossip” which features celebs such as Natalie Cassidy, Shobna Guilati and Nikki Grahame and has appeared in Heat, Closer, and on GMTV. My work is supported by the gorgeous size 16 Miss Uk Contestant Chloe Marshall. Amazing when you think just over a year ago sometimes I couldnt even leave my house, I was so crippled with self loathing.
My story has appeared in the local press and will be featured in one of the UK’s leading monthly glossies in early 2010.
