See what others are saying about Ali's approach:
I have been dieting since I was 10. I have tried every approach to weight loss available and was more confused and frustrated about food than ever. After attending an information session about Emotional Eating with Ali, I was impressed by her common sense approach. More than anything, I longed for the simplicity of her approach to food.
I always looked forward to my sessions with Ali. She was always upbeat and encouraging, even when I was second-guessing myself and focusing on the negative. I loved the simplicity of Ali’s approachand when I started to by-pass the newest diet books on the shelves and skipped over the articles on the latest weight loss secrets. How could they know more than what I already knew?
As a result of working with Ali, I have made peace with food. (Part of me wants to shout this from the rooftops!) Pasta no longer calls to me from the fridge late at night. I’ve ended my love hate relationship with bagels. I crave greens. When I started to eat more whole foods, my body started to regulate. The more healthy foods I ate, the more I craved.
I have always loved food, but my relationship with food has been tumultuous. I have been able to make peace with food through my work with Ali. For anyone who knows what I mean by having a tumultuous relationship with food, being able to truly be at peace with it is life changing. I no longer look at food as the delicious, tantalizing enemy and my hunger as the beast that needs to be tamed. I’ve embraced my love of cooking, I welcome healthy foods into my house, I take pride in feeding my family healthy food that I’ve prepared myself. I crave foods that genuinely make me feel good. I can’t overstate how this has changed my life. Thank you, Ali, for all you have done for me. Our time together was life-changing for me. You’re the best.

I decided to work with Ali after years of frustration and constant struggle to attempt a healthly lifestyle. I, like many others have been sabotaged by the misleading barrage of information on labels, which was hurting me from accomplishing a healthly lifestyle.
Ali's approach makes you take time to evaluate yourself and know what you body accepts. I always enjoyed the "ease" of online diets and journals, but her approach allowed me to take the time to think about what I was eating versus checking off a box. I now have a better relationship with food. I'm no longer driven to make poor choices as I realize the impact of my decisions on how I feel or my body feels after eating. ~Adrienne, Phoenixville, PA
