“Adina helped me untangle the messiness of emotional eating and the unfamiliar territory that is an eating disorder. [She] provided a warm and open environment that set a safe setting for me to work out my issues around eating. I really owe my recovery to [her].”

“Adina offers a unique combination of nutritional expertise along with a deep understanding of the emotions that drive our eating patterns.
I reached out to Adina when I was worried about my teenage daughter’s extreme weight loss during the COVID pandemic. I was impressed with her ability to connect with my daughter and provide nutritional advice backed with scientific explanations hand-in-hand with an empathic ear for what she was going through. I believe this is what sets Adina apart and makes her services invaluable.
Adina was able to communicate a strong message in a gentle relatable tone. She got through to my daughter in a way that neither I nor her pediatrician were able to, and redirected her towards healthful eating habits - body, mind and soul. Eternally grateful to you Adina!!!”

Not like any diet I have ever been on. I was free to eat just about what I wanted . This was very freeing! You have an ability to make goals seem achievable.
I would recommend this program wholeheartedly with you as coach. Significant aspects of my life have been changed for the better and I credit this to your excellent coaching. “
This program makes you not only take a deep look at what you [eat] but why …”

Over the course of nine months, Adina approached food therapy with patience, creativity, and deep respect for our daughter’s pace and autonomy. She helped her gradually expand her comfort zone and build a healthier relationship with food—on her own terms. The transformation has been remarkable. Foods that were once completely off-limits are now part of her regular rotation. Beyond variety, we’ve seen significant improvements in her overall health. She gained 9 pounds over the past year. She’s also been noticeably healthier, with fewer colds this season. Perhaps just as impactful, mealtimes have been transformed. What used to be a source of stress and tension is now a pleasant, even enjoyable, part of our day. Adina is patient, kind, and compassionate. She shifts the conversation and approach so that it's on the patient (child's) terms and helps them lead the way. I didn't realize how much emotion both my daughter and I had bottled up around this issue. Adina gave us the tools and techniques to make meaningful change and I am so glad we found her. Adina's approach was empowering, informative, and highly effective. To say Adina changed our daughter’s life—and our family dynamic —for the better is truly an understatement. We are so grateful we found her.“
~ Mom of 9 year old, Ridgewood, NJ
I went from an emotional eater to one who is far more healthy. I would recommend Adina to anyone needing help. I can never thank her enough for the effect she had on my life.”

Struggling with emotional eating for my teenage and adult life made me feel out of control and helpless. With Adina’s help, I feel great!”
~ Jill L., 34 years old
I can honestly say that Adina has changed my life. I have gained self confidence and a whole new level of self love. The skills she has helped me develop have been amazing and empowering. I no longer feel alone on this journey.“
~ Karen C., 52 years old
”My child has been diagnosed with ARFID. We tried to do this on our own, but were unsuccessful. Adina provided practical tools to manage Shane’s anxiety and guided him through his fears. The therapy went far beyond introducing new foods - it addressed the thoughts and emotions that were holding him back and gave him the skills to overcome those roadblocks.”
“My son, who rarely opens up to others, was eventually able to express what his fear felt like. Adina was able to reach him in a way that very few people ever have. Her calm, reassuring presence set the tone for every session. Adina made every session feel like a meaningful conversation, not just an appointment.“

“A safe and supportive environment.”
