"Working
with Robin has taught me how to listen to my body's messages that
need to be heard. As a consequence, I have lost weight without
dieting, deprivation, measuring or humiliation. And I have learned
so much more: I have learned why I eat or overeat to fill a void.
I have learned how to listen to my instincts, and focus on things
I want in my life. Now I eat when hungry and stop when full. It's
about taking care of myself seriously, really seriously (perhaps
for the first time) and having someone help me achieve all of
this. Robin is a kind, loving, intelligent and gifted healer.
I feel safe, comfortable and blessed to have her in my life."

"In
my life, I have gained and lost 20lbs every few years. The struggle
has been unbearable. With Robin's help, I have learned that I
have never listened to my body, only to my emotions or my mental
willpower affected my food choices. I have only been "good" or
'bad". Now, after working with Robin, I am learning to truly listen
to my body for the first time. I am experiencing a freedom, a
comfort and a calmness that I could not ever imagine before this
process. My battles and anxiety around food don't plague me any
longer. In addition, 20lbs have truly melted away! I'm not perfect
but if I never lose another pound, this process has been worth
it; just to experience the joy and freedom and security that I
now feel. I trust that it will only get better."

"Robin,
your incredible compassion, clarity and ability to meet me exactly
where I am has been a very healing force in my life. On many occasions
I was paralyzed with resistance and, during our session, the heaviness
completely lifted. I have been able to make some amazing changes
in my life since our work together. Now I am motivated to treat
myself with the same love, kindness and respect that you showed
to me. It is astonishing to me how much can be accomplished in
a short amount of time with a good coach. Thanks for the priceless
gift!"

"I
was a chubby little girl and for many decades of my life I struggled
with food and body image issues. By the time I found Robin
at 46 years old, I was completely despondent over my inability
to handle the "food rituals," the unaware eating, the
cruel tapes in my head playing 24/7, and most of all, the shame
that came with all of this. No one in my life had a clue
about the hidden shame I carried. Since I began working with Robin
last year, I have come to a much more peaceful place with food.
And incredibly, I am happy to be in my body! I
am making better and more conscious food choices and I exercise
4-5 times a week. I no longer engage in shameful eating or ritualistic
food behavior. Robin's methods for changing food and body
image issues and her kind, compassionate and knowing nature have
been a huge gift in my life. For me, this process is now
a conscious journey. And the best part? I know I'm truly
not alone in this process of becoming free."
Anne Marie B. Seattle, WA
"Robin,
you were a discovery right from the beginning, an art therapist,
hands on healer, and superb listener all in one. Your artwork
is in everything you do, a celebration of the divine feminine,
that elusive intuitive voice that “knows". You provided the
moisture and sunshine, so that the bulb inside of me took in that
nourishment and realized it was a safe time for growth. I felt
so valued by you every time we met. I have learned to love myself
more, and this self acceptance is a gateway to all that matters.
It's by looking at the darkest places and loving even them,
that makes the difference. I feel confident that I will continue
to grow and bloom from the loving work that we did together."
Miriam, Mill Creek, WA
"I
worked on the phone with Robin every other week for about a year
and found it invaluable to me on my path to peacefulness in my
life with food and my relationships.
Robin
was always very tuned in and present with me. I always felt very
safe and never judged by her. I never felt she had an agenda or
was trying to get me anywhere. She was always so insightful, intuitive,
and helped me to identify so many childhood patterns and strategies
in my life that are no longer necessary or working for me. I still
have many of the "gems" she opened my eyes to that I
use in my life regularly."
Jackie S., Fenton, MI
"Work
with Robin has been an incredibly revealing and eye opening process.
The intuitive nature of this work allowed me to get to the root
of why I overeat. As I uncovered old patterns, they lost their
power over me. I now know that my body is a wise healer and its
natural wisdom guides me towards a healthy weight for my body.
Robin, I have appreciated your gentle guidance, compassionate
instruction, sweet essence and spirited passion. This is a wonderful
process! "
Toni Y. Seattle, WA
"My
work with Robin was extremely important part of my recovery from
food and weight obsession. She helped me get in touch with my
higher self, a part of me I thought I did not have. Her positive
sense of humor encouraged me to keep persevering, even when I
felt like a failure. Robin's guidance helped me get in touch with
my own inner authority. She never gave advice, but showed me how
to figure out what was best for me. My work with Robin taught
me that the truest path of recovery for me was a spiritual one,
and I am still on that path today."
Daniela

"I
have always been on some diet or another, convinced myself that
I am just not strong willed enough, beat myself up for failing
to be thin etc. What I learned from Robin will be with
me for my whole life. She helped me love myself and appreciate
all that was good in me. From that point, I began
a new journey of self-worth, self-care, health and wholeness.
I now accept who I am and know that I will be better with every
day. Robin has a fabulous amount of knowledge in the field
of dieting and weight. She cares so deeply for the women
she works with and her passion and dedication to the health of
women is remarkable. She can help you define you problems
with food and can really make a difference
in your life. Thank you, Robin! You are a gem!"
Liz M., Seattle, WA
"Before
working with Robin at Aware Eating, I was struggling
with my unconscious eating habits and unable to understand why
I would eat when I knew my body did not need the food I was consuming.
Paying attention, listening to my body and loving myself
were some of the precious gifts that Robin gave me during our
time together. I finally slowed down and gave myself permission
to take care of me in a loving and positive way. Instead of looking
in the mirror and seeing only ugliness, I now take the time to
appreciate this beautiful body that I live in by nurturing and
feeding both my body and soul with loving attention.
Thank you for introducing my true authentic self to me. I am finally
at peace after years of struggle and pain."
Dinah M., Seattle, WA
"
My life has been greatly impacted through my work with Robin.Her
counsel is profound as well as being very grounded and practical.
She is a masterful gifted life facilitator who is so adept at
every stage of healing, directional guidance and action. Robin
listens so intently with a kind and open heart—she is so very
present with you! Her unique way of caring and looking
at my WHOLE being has helped me to have a richer understanding
of my true Self. Through this, I have been able to access my divine
essence and feel my interconnectedness in my ongoing growth process.
Most importantly, Robin has helped me to love myself.
If you are willing to go the distance with Robin, she is more
than able and willing to go the distance with you."
