Friday Fun — Dance Break With Nina

I chose to work with Golda because I was tired of belittling my body. I knew there was more to life than analyzing my reflection in a mirror. I was expecting just toleration of my body, instead a whole world of acceptance and present living was opened up to me. — Hannah, Portland, Oregon

I came in looking to heal my relationship with food, and I got that, but that was only part of it. I realized how my body image issues were affecting my relationship with food and my life as a whole. — Autumn Cummings, Washington State

If you are tired of hating your body, of looking in the mirror and wondering what if, if you want to grab at the world with all you have to offer, then please, take advantage of this program. — Hannah, Portland, Oregon

I’ve learned to deal with my emotional issues instead of eating on them, to be kind to my self, and above all to embrace and accept with love, the person that I was, I am, and will be. I finally feel like I am beautiful, and that I am at the right place in my life. — Sonia Marrón Alonso, Baja California, Mexico

My session with Golda certainly helped me navigate the waters of HAES. I'm relatively new to the philosophy after a lifetime of dieting and Golda's masterful guidance eased my fears of the unknown. Her professional, yet kind and approachable manner made it easy for me to open up and work with her. Thanks so much, Golda! — Amy Finnerty, Illinois

I decided to work with Golda because after years of living with the remnants of an eating disorder, I wanted to be completely free. From a teleclass, her blog, and my Body Love Breakthrough session, I could tell Golda is warm, creative, and non-judgmental – the remedy to the failed attempts with mainstream counseling I’d tried before. — S.B., Colorado

Golda has a full understanding of how mind, body and soul affect each other and she’s wonderful at helping you pinpoint what needs work to balance them out. — Shey Lyn Zanotti, Los Angeles, CA

Our one session already had me thinking about how I feel about myself in a completely different way. I always knew that I often has some self-doubt and insecurities, but until I actually verbalized and realized when and where, it didn’t hit me. I just thought I would deal with feeling like this, end of story. I never really considered trying to CHANGE the way I feel. — Sarah, http://www.tabayag.com

We all have areas of our bodies that we don’t like or have trouble with specific body image issues. This course helps in a non-threatening way to start breaking down those walls so that you can really be the woman you are meant to be. I recommend The Empress Club for all women! — Autumn Cummings, Washington State

I’m enriched in so many ways because of my work with Golda and I am happier and less anxious thanks to her. If you want to start a revolution and stop hating your body or if you’ve already done that and you’re not sure where to go next, Golda can really help you. — Theresa, New Jersey

After the workshop I felt like I’ve had a much less stressful time deciding what to eat or how to make decisions that are self loving. I’m excited to see how I feel after the next workshop! — Deb Malkin, Owner Of Re/Dress NYC

Now, I walk around with confidence and embrace my own beauty, I get more compliments on daily basis, I enjoy my meals, I identify my hunger, I stop eating when I am full, and I finally stopped worrying about going on a diet again. — Sonia Marrón Alonso, Baja California, Mexico

Working with Golda was a pleasure. I looked forward to our calls each month, and I think the main reason was because I knew that no matter what, Golda would be supportive, encouraging, and she’d offer me valuable insight and information. — AA, Connecticut

I decided to work with Golda because I was tired of hating on my body and my soul. I think of the time we spent working together as an investment in a happy and healthy future. Feeling comfortable in your own skin is a priceless experience—and Golda can help you get there. — LF, New York

What I loved about working with Golda was the way she tuned right into what was going on with me. She could tell that there were areas in terms of food where I was advanced and zeroed in on the areas I needed to catch up on. Her approach is totally personal. And her style is so warm and accepting that I felt comfortable diving into my body image and eating issues. — Maya Gangadharan Cameron, Michigan, Founder of Everyday Goddess TV

She taught me to connect with my body in a way I never have before and really tuned into the issues holding me back. No problem was too out there or difficult. The sense of self trust I’ve gained has taken the stress out of areas of my life I didn’t even realize were related to my issues with food and exercise. — S.B., Colorado
