Martha works with accomplished, high-achieving people who have succeeded in many areas of life but keep a secret around food. Her clients have binged for years. Past clients include physicians, an accountant, a professor, and a human resources executive.
How Martha works
Martha teaches that the urge to binge is a neurological signal from an automatic part of the brain, not a personal flaw. Using neuroplasticity, clients learn to untrain that signal and let urges pass. The work centers on three steps: Learning why you binge, learning how to stop, and taking back your life. Sessions run one hour.
