“Before working with Maria, I had no conception of what it meant to have an eating disorder. I recognized that I had an unhealthy relationship towards food that was brought on by stress, insecurity, and trauma, and felt that it was necessary to seek support.
Now, after only one conversation, I was introduced to a completely different way of thinking and conceptualizing myself and my relationship with food. I began to understand that I really didn’t have a “bad relationship” with food at all! Instead, I was able to recognize that energy is constantly moving through me and I innocently react to this energy through thought.
I am still in the process of practicing this method of thinking, but it has allowed me to see that I do not have an eating disorder but, in reality, I have just allowed my energy to fuel my thoughts around food.”
– Hannah
“Maria creates a safe and nurturing space to have conversation around our thinking and about not only what we are eating and our relationship with food, but also what we think we know about our overall life experience.
I have a greater awareness and recognition of the thoughts that have created struggles for me in my life and I’m more quickly able to recognize those thoughts and let them go. This has created a space of more ease and a greater experience of peace in my life.
If learning about this program speaks to anyone and they feel called to see this more deeply, I would definitely recommend it!”
– Susan
“I felt as if I was looking at myself and my own historical response to life. So much wisdom and insight informed and transformed me as I listened two times through!
Thank you, Maria, for offering these conversations. I am so happy I have found you on this trail of life energy. I am so glad I have followed my instinct, intellect, and intuition through the years and that we all are indeed well!”
– Cyndy
About Maria Brigantino
I am a reformed binge eater, yo-yo dieter, all-or-nothing, good girl!
If you’re here, chances are you’ve been struggling with food or your weight, or you’re like me: you’ve been diagnosed with an eating disorder or have a body dysmorphia issue.
I can definitely relate to this and am a survivor of anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating. I’ve spent decades going through time, resources, money, the therapy route—and just about every other option out there to get a handle on my relationship with food.
I was tired of hearing from therapists and doctors that I’d just have to learn how to “cope with” or “manage” this. And I want to tell you right now that that is absolutely untrue!
I am a survivor, and a Certified Change Coach. I’ve helped hundreds of women see the truth of their experience and the secret to gaining FREEDOM.
FAQ
What’s the difference between therapy and coaching?
I’m not a licensed medical health professional or therapist. This means I don’t have the specialized training nor am I qualified to make a medical diagnosis, provide medical treatment, or give psychological advice. As a Certified Change Coach, my role is to support, motivate, and inspire you on your journey toward Food FREEDOM. My approach is guided by my personal experiences and my training as a coach to over 150+ clients. It’s important to note that coaching is NOT a substitute for medical diagnosis and treatment, psychotherapy, or other health and nutritional advice.
Who is this course for?
If you’re living with an eating disorder and you’re willing to let go of dieting, meal plans, rules, and restrictions to explore an intuitive approach to making peace with food and your body, this is for you. This course is for anyone who struggles with food, body image, or obsessive thinking about weight.
Whether you’re currently working with medical professionals and want supplementary support or you’ve already tried all the forms of therapy and they didn’t work, so now you’re looking for an alternative approach – coaching may be a good fit for you.
Who is this course NOT for?
If you’re looking for a quick fix, nutritional advice, a meal plan, or a checklist to follow, you won’t find that here. While I’m here to provide step-by-step guidance, this approach isn’t about giving you new rules to follow or in-depth workbooks and homework assignments. You will receive guidance and helpful questions to provide a new perspective. The goal is to create less noise in your head, not more.
How long does the Food FREEDOM Formula course take?
The Food FREEDOM Formula course helps you achieve success from anywhere in your journey. There are over 7 hours of video content organized into 38 mini-lessons in this course but it is self-study, meaning you can work through it at your own pace. There is no definitive timeframe used to measure success. As long as you continue to look in this direction you’ll gain FREEDOM. Everyone’s journey will be slightly different.
I’m thinking about a couple of alternatives… What makes this course different?
The Food FREEDOM Formula course is different due to our unique approach: Focusing on the 3 core pillars – mind, consciousness, and thought – to break destructive habits and negative cycles of our misunderstanding of life. Most programs insist you have more discipline & rules to break your struggles with food, but not this one. This course will help you find peace with food, live unfettered by rules and restrictions, and give you a place to feel whole and worthy just as you are.
How do you know this program will work for me? I’ve tried so many things before...
I know this program will work for you because we uncover what’s already working perfectly for you now. You are not broken and during this course, I will show you that this is true. FREEDOM lies in seeing and experiencing this truth for yourself.
