Lisa Unger

I tried numerous traditional diets and a self help book. They did help me a bit, but none of them addressed the root cause, so I still went back to bingeing.

I was worried about being judged for my bingeing. I found it very hard to talk to anyone about it as it was so ingrained in me that it was just me having no self-control. I was also worried that I would find it hard to open up and speak as I am so used to keeping my feelings inside and not being a bother to anyone!

Lisa is such a kind and empathetic person. She made me feel at ease straight away. I needn’t have worried about being able to open up with her as she is so good at gently probing which really helped me to talk about things that I would have previously struggled to put into words.

My journey towards body acceptance was my biggest transformation - Changing my viewpoint from ‘I have to lose weight’ to ‘this is my body now and I don’t need to change it to be worthy of love.’ I am more confident in wearing clothes I would never have worn before, most notably a bikini!

I still have work to do, but I feel more confident and equipped to keep working at overcoming my eating disorder. I am more confident in my skin and better at questioning myself when I feel myself slipping back into diet culture. More...

In the past I have tried multiple slimming clubs, various diets, self help books and journals that just saw my weight fluctuate massively. I spoke to nutritionists and counsellors and had completed a group course with others battling eating disorders. But still I struggled to overcome my difficulties.

I was nervous to work with Lisa - I didn’t talk about my struggles with eating to those close to me. I was worried about being vulnerable and I felt ashamed and embarrassed about my (in my view) extreme behaviours. I was so scared that this would be something else that wouldn’t work.

Working with Lisa has involved everything from small, pain-free practical adjustments, to gritty changes that challenged long-established beliefs. My views have totally shifted and my body and mind are thanking me for it.


I have completely changed my perception about what my body needs, when and why. After more than 15 years of bingeing and purging, significantly limiting these behaviours has had an undeniable positive impact on my health. I’m kinder to myself and I haven’t had to step on any scales.

While working with Lisa, you address both the nutritional aspects and emotional/psychological aspects of your battles. Lisa’s approach is completely non-judgmental and she can relate to your struggles. More...

I wanted to understand why I was emotionally eating and to find ways to change my behaviour. Lisa has been wonderful at making me feel “normal”. Quite often I would feel like it was all my fault and I realise now, that it was many factors that contributed to the way I viewed food.

Lisa has your back. She is completely non judgemental and understanding. It’s hard to do this work on your own, and Lisa has the skills, expertise and human understanding to help you. More...

Very informative discussion about digestion.

Lisa has been incredible. She has completely changed my way of eating, which means that: I'm not as hungry; I eat slower and enjoy my food more; I am eating less; I am sleeping better and have more energy; I have lost weight without trying; and believe I can continue to apply these principles ongoing. It has made me so so happy. Lisa is wonderful. She has given me so many hints and tips, to handle stress, emotions and life as well as eating and food, recipes and preparation. I cannot recommend her highly enough. More...
