I struggled extensively in my relationship with food and body image all throughout my younger days and into my college years. It wasn’t until I discovered the work at The Institute for the Psychology of Eating that I began to relax around food and focused on creating a healthier and more nourishing relationship with myself and food. I am excited to integrate this beautiful body of work into my current practice with Reiki and yoga to help both men and women who struggle in similar ways that I did. I am excited and honored to help others uncover the hidden messages behind their own eating and health challenges. I once perceived my eating challenges to be one of my greatest weaknesses until I realized what a gift it truly was to be able to use the wisdom from my own healing journey to help others on their healing path. I am incredibly passionate about this work and know that this is what I am here to do with my life.

Self Care vs. Self Sabotage – How to know the difference between ‘Treat Yo Self’ and ‘Going Overboard’

Hello there! My name is Madaline Anderson and I am a recent graduate of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating. I am recently married and a mother to a smart and handsome 8 year old I am now accepting clients with eating challenges including weight loss, energy improvement and increased immunity. Please email for more information.

I am an eating psychology coach and currently pursuing a master’s degree in clinical nutrition. I am also certified as a personal fitness instructor. Having two daughters with Crohn’s disease, I understand the challenges of digestive and immune issues. Whether you are struggling with weight loss, chronic dieting, binge eating, body image, lack of energy, poor digestion, or immune issues, I can help you achieve your goals and create lasting changes for optimum good health and quality of life.

I work with individuals who experience any of the following: digestive issues, body image issues, binge eating, fear of weight gain, chronic fatigue, as well as anyone who is simply looking to up their health-game. I have personally experienced all of the above, so trust me, I get it, and I’m here to help guide you to a life of more freedom, deeper joy, and greater health. Because I’ve healed from all of the above symptoms, I know you can too!

I have an unending passion for all things related to health and living to our full potential by loving on ourselves and others. Through my own health struggles with life threatening disease, I have learned the complexities of chronic illness and pain. Voraciously, I have pursued health strategies by taking courses, attending conferences, and doing massive amount of research through the plethora of information. Not only have I experienced and learned about the physical side of health but there is an emotional and spiritual aspect to healing and wellness that opens up a health and peacefulness that far exceeds understanding. Becoming an Eating Psychology Coach places me in the position of sharing this wisdom with others.

I am honored and excited to be able to be in a position to guide others on their own journey, without judgment but with great love and compassion. It is my desire to mentor clients through body and lifestyle changes in a holistic approach and supporting the whole person with individualized wellness programs designed to meet their specific needs. It is an adventure that I truly enjoy walking through with others.
