Vanessa grew up in Germany in a family still affected by the trauma of WW2. Vanessa suffered some anxiety throughout her childhood and teenage years. When she went to live in the US as an exchange student, she felt abandoned and uncertain. Vanessa had always had a problematic relationship with food, eating too much even as a young child, and by her teenage years she was in a cycle of binging, dieting and guilt. Eventually Vanessa recognised that her life was unmanageable through her failed attempts to control her eating, and she pursued recovery through a variety of means including self-help groups such as Food Addicts Anonymous and Overeaters Anonymous. Vanessa now offers coaching, counselling and psychotherapy for food addiction.

If you are having difficulty with compulsive overeating you might like to contact Overeaters Anonymous. You can find them at oa.org.au. All meetings welcome newcomers and the only requirement for OA membership is the desire to stop eating compulsively.
There are meetings listed on the website at oa.org.au/meetings - these may be face-to-face, online or hybrid meetings.
