TRAUMA-INFORMED COACHING FOR BINGE AND EMOTIONAL EATING | ONLINE

Binge eating and emotional eating are rarely just about food.

If you’ve been stuck in cycles of control, guilt, and starting over – wondering why peace with food still feels out of reach – there is a reason.
And it’s not because you’re weak or broken.

I offer trauma-informed online coaching for women struggling with binge eating and emotional eating, helping you move out of cycles of restriction and guilt and into a calmer, more trusting relationship with food – grounded in nervous-system safety and, for those who desire it, Christian faith.

If this has felt exhausting, you’re not imagining it

Living with food struggles can be draining and confusing. Many women blame themselves – believing they lack discipline or willpower.

And for some, especially women of faith, there’s an added layer of pain: the quiet fear that this struggle means they’re failing God, not trusting enough, or not praying hard enough.

Many of the women I work with are navigating this journey alongside their faith – and I hold that with great care and respect.

This isn’t a spiritual failure.
And it isn’t a lack of faith.

Often, it’s a nervous system that has been under pressure for a long time – using food as a way to find safety, comfort, or a sense of control.

Binge eating or emotional eating struggles are rarely about food.
They’re about stress, survival, and a nervous system that hasn’t felt safe for a long time.

Healing begins when we stop fighting ourselves and start restoring safety.

More About Me

More About Me

Food struggles are never really about food.

Hi, I’m Kathrin, and I understand that binge eating and emotional eating are rarely about a lack of willpower – they are ore often about the messages, beliefs, and survival instincts your body has picked up along throughout your life.

I understand how draining it feels to be stuck in a cycle of binge eating, dieting, and self-blame.

Building a better relationship with food isn’t about restriction or control; it’s about building trust, finding awareness, and showing yourself compassion. Ultimately, it’s about nervous system regulatjon.

More About Me

This isn’t a personal failure

When the nervous system is under constant pressure, food often becomes a way to cope, soothe, or feel grounded.

That doesn’t mean something is wrong with you.
It means your body adapted.

And adaptation can be gently unwound – without force, restriction, or shame.

Healing doesn’t require you to override your body – or your beliefs.

When we begin to see these responses through a lens of compassion rather than judgement, something shifts.

Your body’s responses are not a betrayal of your values or your faith.

They tell the story of what you’ve been carrying – and what now needs care.

Ways to work with me

Why this work matters to me

I know this path personally.

For many years, I lived in the same exhausting cycle my clients describe – believing I lacked willpower and wondering why peace with food felt so hard to reach.

Through my own healing journey and professional training, I came to understand that nothing was “wrong” with me – and nothing is wrong with you, either.

I see this work as part of my purpose – shaped by my faith, my values, and a deep belief that healing was never meant to happen through shame or striving.

You may be in the right place if…

N

You’re tired of battling food and yourself

N

You want peace, not perfection

N

You sense your body needs gentleness, not control

N

You’re open to slowing down as part of healing

I really remember when Kathrin said to me “What’s the opposite of an emotional eater? An unemotional one?”

She showed me that eating is supposed to make us feel good. That was new to me, I always saw it as an enemy I had to keep at bay.

I learnt to be less afraid of my hunger, and also, to see what I really hunger for in my life. I love how she combines emotional topics and solid nutritional advice.

Kathrin took away my feelings of shame. She showed me how everything made sense with my binge eating episodes which I have had for decades. And that I was not a weirdo who didn’t have her act together. That was huge for me.

I am still a work in progress, but I don’t feel hopeless anymore!

I had never heard about nervous system work before I found Kathrin! She showed me that when we are in fight or flight mode, our digestion shuts down, and no matter how healthy you eat, you will not metabolise your food optimally. Also, I am (or I should say was!!) a really fast eater, and Kathrin helped me see that this sent my nervous system also into a fight or flight state. This really helped me understand why I always had a bloated tummy after meals.

I now do conscious breathing whenever I can before a meal, and that really has helped a lot. Also, I work on my general stress level.

We also often had a good laugh in sessions, which was lovely.

I had CBT before I saw Kathrin, and I always felt something was missing. Knowing her now, I know what it was! She really combines nutrition and psychology. I always thought I had a willpower problem, but she showed me how my diet actually created the issues I had with cravings, particularly around sugar. Each evening I would eat my way through cookies and ice cream. Once I understood that low protein and fat intake during the day creates cravings later on, I started to incorporate those into my meals. It wasn’t easy at first, but Kathrin was super patient and really cheering me on along the way. It also helped me knowing she had a similar story to mine.

At the same time, I really had anxiety around certain foods. When she said to go full fat and have lots of nuts, seeds and olive oil, I nearly fainted! We worked on those toxic nutritional beliefs, and that really was the game-changer for me. So having an expert in nutrition as well as someone who understands the psychology behind our eating behaviours was what I needed!

I have lost 3 stones, and I don’t follow any restrictive diets anymore! I feel like I have landed in my body.

I don’t really remember what I expected when I first saw Kathrin, but my sessions with her were like no other I had with other health professionals before! She was so lovely and relatable. I told her my rather complicated family story in our first session, and she never made me feel strange and also never judged me. Not even when my eating was all over the place for a long time. She always said to me to celebrate the small successes, and this is something I often think back to. It doesn’t matter if I fall off the horse, what matters is that I am compassionate with myself and get back up on it again! She showed me to do this, and I am forever grateful for that.

I have always been on diets, and when my GP told me a year ago I was prediabetic, I knew something had to change!

Kathrin’s approach is very different to what I was used to. Slowing down was a big thing, listening to what my body needs and changing the order of what I eat were some of the areas we worked on. Also, looking at my emotions and how they influenced my eating behaviours was very helpful. Since I love writing, she gave me journalling prompts to work through some deeper stuff, which has really been eye-opening. Most times these days, I first reach for my pen when I feel the urge to have something sweet!

My prediabetes is under control now, and I am so happy I found Kathrin!

I met Kathrin at a time in my life when I felt continuously overwhelmed by everything that was going on around me: job, kids, home life, ageing parents. I felt I had no control over what I was eating. Kathrin helped me understand that I didn’t have a willpower problem, but that my problems with eating were mainly an attempt to cope with life!

My sessions with her felt like a refuge. I have now learnt to eat slower, do breathwork and other body-centred exercises to calm my nervous system down. She really has helped me so much and gave me hope when I felt hopeless!
