Cynthia was a registered dietitian for 25 years specializing in eating disorders. She continues to work with those with compulsive eating issues, helping them to examine the effects of social expectations to enable them to assign less importance to appearance and conforming to a cultural standard and more on being themselves. She also helps clients gain insight into what purpose their food and weight-related or other problem behaviours are fulfilling and what healthier means are available to meet those needs.
