Recovery Success Stories.👇✨
I was 8 years old when I felt shame about my body and 16 when I embraced bulimia. At 45 I was desperate, exhausted, and hungry after years in starvation mode. Luckily, I stumbled on one of Elisa’s YouTube videos and something clicked on my mind: I understood what recovery was. After trying on my own for 6 months, I still hadn’t been able to GIVE IT ALL completely.
So, I asked Elisa for help, and it was the best decision of my life. In only 2 months I’ve rewired my brain, I’m eating without guilt, I’ve recovered my hunger cues, I’ve gotten over all my fears, I’ve got my happiness back, and my mind is clear again. Thanks to Elisa I truly trust and love my body.
In every call and email she provides daily support and tools to get fully recovered. She is kind, smart, and a great professional. So make a commitment, trust the process, don’t hesitate to ask Elisa for help, and welcome your freedom.
My story is similar to others which goes to show we have similar struggles and we can all achieve freedom because Elisa’s method is bulletproof. I had been in treatment multiple times but I still could not eat freely and enough. Restriction had become second nature, and after so many failed attempts I was apprehensive to invest more money in recovery only to fail again.
However, Elisa’s approach was different and I was desperate, so I decided to try. Six months later I am in a great place: I have a very neutral and free relationship with food and I am well equipped to handle any body image struggle. Elisa taught me to eat without rules, without limits, without meal plans.
Initially that meant eating a lot of food, which professionals would call bingeing, but it was this type of eating that set me free. The beginning was extremely hard but it got easier afterwards.
During the first few months I emailed Elisa multiple times a day, panicking about my food intake and my weight. Her calm answers helped me ride out the storm and keep going. Working with Elisa was a game-changer because I received individual and constant support, I learned to eat without any rules or restrictions, and I learned how to support myself through bad body image moments.
Thank you, Elisa… you gave me back my life.
First, I tried to recover by my own, but I failed. I felt that I need someone to guide, listen and be with me, so I decided to work with Elisa for three months, and it was the most precious months in my life. We set weekly goals and worked on the physical, mental and self-love aspects.
Recovery was scary and painful at the beginning, but I trusted Elisa and she supported me each day and taught me so many things. In these three months, my life changed a lot. I feel now that I’m free and not controlled, love and trust my body, eat whatever I want without regret or obsession, and I’m happier. I also got my period again and three times in a row, which made me feel that my body starts working again.
Elisa showed me that recovery really worth. Fixing my relationship with food and my body fixed my life. Life is much valuable, and working with Elisa made me realize that taking one step into recovery will restore the missing life again, which now I don’t even have the interest for spending one more day living on ED.

Before seeing Elisa’s videos, I had been trying to recover in many ways. Everything until knowing about her work did not help, even the eating disorders hospital. With the first video Elisa got my trust and as a person with anorexia I had trust issues with everyone.
After a while, I desperately wanted to recover for good and started working one on one with Elisa. A day before our first week, I couldn’t even imagine myself constantly eating healthy amounts of food. With the first call I started to “just eat”. Day by day I got used to eating, day by day I got used to Myself, because those three months gave Me back to myself.
Those three months have gained me my thoughts back, my emotions, people, moments. Until working with Elisa, I did not have my period for three years and now I have it already three times in a row, so I start to feel myself as an alive Human, I cherish my body functions now as never before.
Working with Elisa did not only save my life, it reminded and taught me how to Live.
Before I started with Elisa, I had been in “recovery” on my own for about a year and a half and I was constantly relapsing and getting nowhere despite my countless efforts to stop. But since we’ve started, I have done more progress in one month than I have in a year. She has taught me what completely letting go of all restrictions truly means.
Elisa has opened my eyes to so many mind-blowing facts about recovery and even the food/dieting industry. I’m definitely a different person in my outlook after what I’ve learnt. She has been wonderful in being a constant voice reminding me that I can do this and I will be okay.
My biggest fear was trigger foods, but now I openly look for them and eat them with almost no guilt or worry. She’s also helped me accept the changes that have come to my body and got me through some really scary stages.
I still have a while to complete recovery, but I am already much more free and happier than I was before.
“Within months my period returned and I finally felt free — food stopped running my life.” — Becky
After nearly 20 years trapped in anorexia, orthorexia and over-exercising, Becky finally went all-in on recovery. She tried treatment and many programs before, but stayed in “quasi-recovery” for years — white-knuckling it and relapsing. In six months of recovery she rewired the fear around food, stopped the compulsions, regained her period, and reclaimed her life. Becky now works as a recovery coach and is a living proof that full recovery is possible even after many years.
A few months ago, I didn’t think I would get here. I’ve spent over 20 years on diets and I was not able to step outside of it and see the insanity of living like this. I didn’t know that the bingeing was so closely linked to the restriction. I had very black and white thinking, a terrible fear of foods and gaining weight, and severe control issues around food and eating.
Over the last few months, I learned that only through saying ‘yes’ and truly committing to full recovery, fully letting go and trusting your body is the best and most effective way toward recovery. Daily homework and activities helped me learn about myself, what worked well, what didn’t, and allowed me to change course where necessary.
Writing in my gratitude journal daily, being clear on my goals, and questioning and working with my beliefs were all key. All of these and so much more I learned from Elisa and I am so very grateful for having her as my coach and mentor.
I hope anyone desperately wanting to stop the insanity gives themselves the gift of recovery and learning to eat intuitively. Recovery is the best thing I’ve embarked on.
After 35 years of dieting, bingeing and bulimia I had finally had enough. With help from an ED clinic and the knowledge I gained from Elisa’s thought-provoking book and inspiring videos, I finally understood how having a diet mentality had damaged my relationship with food, myself and those I love.
16 months later I’d cracked the food issues related to my ED but I still wasn’t happy. I hated my body, I hated my weight and I hated myself. I felt totally stuck and knew I wouldn’t be able to work out how to move forward by myself.
I contacted Elisa and she agreed to work one-to-one with me. 5 weeks later and I’m a totally different woman! She taught me how to recognize my destructive, negative thoughts and turn them into positive affirmations that I now truly believe.
Our sessions were occasionally tough and often joyful but Elisa’s patience and perseverance, and my determination and hard work, eventually paid off. I can’t believe how happy and contented I feel to be me now; to finally find the real me and leave my ED behind forever.
Elisa is caring, compassionate, motivated and honest, and she totally gets how you feel because she’s been there. I would recommend her to anyone struggling with a diet-induced ED. I will always, always be grateful for the help and support she gave me.
“I’m a normal eater now — food isn’t in my head all day.” — Paji
After 17 years of bulimia, Paji decided to recover for her daughter. Through clear, practical coaching with Elisa she learned to change her thoughts, allow all foods without guilt, and accept body changes while focusing on healing. The binge–purge cycle ended, meals became calm, and she could keep ice cream at home without obsessing. Today she describes herself as a normal eater with free mental space, more presence with her family, and a healthy example for her daughter. Full recovery felt out of reach for years — and then happened within months once she went all in.
I have been coaching with Elisa since the beginning of my recovery from bulimia for about 6 months. Being introduced to Elisa through her YouTube channel “Follow the Intuition,” I became aware of a whole new way to look at eating disorders and recovery. I can’t tell you how huge this is.
I had struggled with bulimia and orthorexia for 12 years and nothing has been able to help me progress and maintain this level of recovery…ever. This perspective that Elisa has is invaluable and is the message we all need to spread to women around the world.
Elisa is professional yet relatable and so amazing at what she does. I have felt so supported, seen and heard throughout some really hard times. Elisa has shown me exceptional guidance through these initial phases of my recovery and I would recommend her coaching to anyone struggling.
Coaching with Elisa is one of the best decisions I made during 10 years searching for help to recover from bulimia and eating disorder. I tried near all programs and therapies but nobody and nothing could help me as much as she did.
She followed with me every day, every hour during recovery and I never felt being alone with illness. She motivated me not to give up the fighting. I failed a lot of times during therapies from eating disorder and she showed “the right way out” or “recovery way” and it worked and is working now…
It is wonder!!
It is wonder!!
This approach has helped hundreds of people find food freedom, body peace, and truly get their lives back.
When I started working with Elisa my period had been absent for 6 years. I had been to multiple docs, been on multiple supplements, and multiple protocols. After just “one month” of coaching with her… guess what??!! A full blown period after 6 years of nothing!!!!!
Elisa is probably the most caring individual I’ve had the privilege to work with. Grateful for all her encouragement and guidance.
THANKS ELISA!! 😀
THANKS ELISA!! 😀
Elisa’s coaching has truly transformed my life! Elisa is terrific. She knows her stuff, she is supportive, and she has the perfect coaching to “push you” the appropriate amount each week. I started coaching to get my period back, which had been absent for 4+ years, and the very last week of our 12-week coaching sessions, my period came back!
Throughout our sessions, I realized that not only was my physical body not fully recovered, but mentally my thought-life also had a lot of room to grow. Elisa works with clients on recognizing and replacing negative thoughts with helpful, supportive thoughts, and this has made all the difference.
I use what we learned in coaching all the time: in making healthy choices, in my relationships, and especially in my new job. The coaching you do in Follow the Intuition WILL get you to full recovery, and the benefits will not stop there.
I truly recommend this coaching to everyone. Go into it with an open mind, put in the weekly work, and you will reach full recovery and have a happier, more peace-filled life.
You can do it!
You can do it!
“I haven’t binged since the day I went all-in — eight months and counting.” — Nadine
After decades of on-off binge eating (made worse by strict figure-competition diets), Nadine thought she had a “sugar addiction.” Finding Elisa’s book was the turning point – she committed to stop dieting and follow the recovery steps. She had a short phase of overeating while her body and brain rebuilt trust, then urges faded and her weight stabilized just as promised. Elisa’s approach helped her through a body-image wobble so she didn’t slip back to restriction. Today she calls herself an intuitive eater — no food drama, no bingeing, just calm, flexible eating and genuine freedom.
Working with Elisa has completely transformed my relationship with food, my body and my life. In terms of food, it cannot be better, it's everything she promised. I don’t think about food until I get hungry, I allow myself to eat whatever and however much I want, and I no longer demonize any foods. My hunger cues are gentle now and food has gone from a 10/10 priority to a 3.
My energy level is really good, I rarely feel fatigued, I sleep so well, and I enjoy walking my daughter to daycare. My trust in the process is strong. Normal eating feels like the only way to stay truly healthy and happy, and I’m confident I will never go back to dieting.
My weight has stayed stable for 2.5 months, and while it's still the only challenge, I’m much more comfortable in my skin. I don’t shame my body, I don’t avoid social events, and I even wore a bathing suit to a pool party.
I’m so impressed with how drastically different my life is now in such a short time.
For anybody that is looking for a kind, caring and professional support to go through their recovery then I would recommend Elisa 100%! She is amazing and her coaching has definitely made a huge impact on my recovery.
Body image and acceptance was the area that I needed the most help with, so that was what we focused on together the most. Within the 3 months that we worked together my confidence has improved so much… and now she has given me the tools and techniques to keep improving throughout my journey.
Thank you so much Elisa for everything… you are amazing at what you do.
“I stopped chasing thinness, healed my beliefs, and finally felt free in my body.” — Leydi
Leydi — a plus-size actress and law-of-attraction creator — spent years trapped in the restrict–binge cycle, even using harsh diet pills that wrecked her hair, hormones, and energy. Finding Elisa’s videos and book was the reset: she went all-in on true recovery, allowed full permission with food, and did the deeper work on limiting beliefs, self-worth, and body-image resilience. Results? Stable hunger cues, real energy, no more food obsession, and strong boundaries around other people’s comments. Today she’s fully recovered, focused on her craft, and says to anyone in a larger body: recovery is for you, too — fix the root (self-worth), and the rest follows.
I struggled with an eating disorder and overexercising for many years. One day I decided I finally had enough and I must get better! I had heard about intuitive eating and decided to start coaching with Elisa. She helped me in one of the hardest periods of my life.
Weekly Skype calls were very motivating and made me believe in myself. Every time I struggled throughout the week, talking to Elisa instantly gave me a new perspective and I understood things on a whole different level.
I know now that I have the power to be fully healthy and have a normal relationship with food and exercise. Elisa helped me to get there. She is incredible, she has a big heart, always kind and ready to help. She really is with you the whole journey, supports you and gives you great advice.
Big thank you, you are wonderful!
Elisa is an AMAZING coach. She is sweet and compassionate but also tells the truth, which I needed to hear! I have been dieting since I was 14, with stages of anorexia, bulimia, and binge-eating. I started recovery because I could not go on with the fight. The talks with Elisa helped me heal from the inside—my thoughts and beliefs—and I would have never thought I could heal this deep already.
She took me to another level, a loving healthy level. Her book is a MUST READ and the best book written about the topic. Elisa is good at reading emotions but also smart and rational—a great combination for a coach.
After 6 months I am not hungry anymore, binge-free, and not capable of emotional eating because I am not hungry. I deal better with my emotions, have more self-worth, can feel and communicate my boundaries, and I rest better. I can eat together with my children and we enjoy this time so much!
And…I just feel that I have found my soul back. I’m a painter and I can feel the creative life-force again. All the energy I put into dieting and sports I now put into my business and art—and it is flourishing.
I can totally recommend Elisa. The results I have now are DEFINITELY because of her guidance.
Elisa’s coaching was a blessing for my recovery journey. I found her through YouTube, and her videos are incredibly helpful for all aspects of recovery. Her method of individual coaching is so refreshing. I had been through formal recovery centers where my recovery was left unfinished—“recovered” on paper but still struggling in the background.
With Elisa’s guidance, she empowered me to face the most challenging parts of recovery in a way I felt safe, supported, and loved. Elisa is understanding and empathetic, but also knows when to challenge you. I love the way she integrates many fields of study into recovery, because recovery affects so many parts of our lives.
Most importantly, she uses her own experience to relate to her clients, which is incredibly valuable. It’s comforting and inspiring to know that we will be fully recovered.
I’m so blessed to have Elisa as a guide on my recovery journey.

"BrainwashED" book reviews 👇
Working with Elisa literally gave me back my life and I will forever be grateful!! I was one of those people no one would have suspected had an eating disorder. I was never underweight and made my eating look “normal,” but I was terrified of every bite and constantly thinking about food and my body.
I had tried everything to recover on my own and through many therapies—without success—until I met Elisa. The first thing I learned, which was absolutely key and sets Elisa’s approach apart, was giving myself unconditional permission to eat. That meant letting go of both physical and mental restriction, which I had totally underestimated.
It was hard in the beginning, but Elisa’s constant email support made all the difference. Letting go of all restrictions and working on the mental part completely changed my relationship with food. After a period of extreme hunger, my body calmed down and I can finally say that I AM FREE! I never thought that was possible for me.
Thanks to Elisa, all the mental space once occupied by food and body thoughts is now freed up for my life and what really matters. I changed my profession, I moved, and I’m sure more good things are coming. Her approach is bulletproof, she knows what she’s doing, and her warm, calm support is life-saving.
After more than 10 years of secretly and lonely battling and struggling with bulimia, I was lucky enough to come across Elisa’s videos on YouTube. After reading her book I knew she was the person I needed to work with and we started working together. This changed my life!
For more than 10 years I thought I’d never get myself back, but incredibly enough I started to feel my own power and self worth again. Elisa is professional and understanding, gentle and friendly while setting clear boundaries, making sure I carried the responsibility myself. Super empowering!
I wish I had come across Elisa years before and hope that everyone who needs clear and loving guidance finds her!
