"I have been lucky enough to work with the incredible nutritional therapist Milda. In just two sessions Milda has helped me see where so many of a lifetime of eating problems have come from and how they have manifested. This week I literally cried with relief at the thought of being excited to go to the market and not avoid the lovely smells and sights in the food quarter and actually buy something and enjoy it free from fear.
This is such a big deal for me."
"Working with Milda has been such a supportive and empowering experience. She helped me build a healthier relationship with food through mindful, compassionate guidance. I feel more confident, balanced, and in control with my ADHD symptoms too- highly recommend!"
Overcame bulimia and gained useful tools
"I was binging and purging every day and had no tools or way to stop it. I was in a constant cycle of self-loathing and left that there was something wrong in my brain that could never be fixed. I had an ED for all of my teenage years and into my early 20s, so it was all that I remembered. I had gone to so many therapists through the years and I was nervous it wouldn't work again.
"I have found the sessions incredibly helpful, and I was building my skills at a pace that really worked for me. I am able to overcome different scenarios when my eating becomes disordered and even if I have setbacks, I know what to do and how to bring myself back on track.'
Stopped binge eating after 30+ years of dieting
"After 30+ years of yo-yo dieting, fasting and emotional eating that felt completely out of control, I have finally decided to find a process that really works. I’m over the moon I found Milda and nutrition counselling, as in 9 months of working together I completely stopped binge eating.
I eat what I want, enjoy my food fully and I can have treats in my cupboard for months without thinking about it 24/7. I feel like I now eat like a ‘normal’ person. And the best part? I lost over three stone and it feels completely effortless. Thank you so much Milda, it has been life-changing!"
Stopped using food for coping with stress
"I was desperate to escape the cycle of living in fear and guilt around food. I would wake up every Monday and say to myself that ‘’today I will be good’’ and start the diet again, just to set myself up for failure the same day! For years I was trapped in the diet- skipping meals- over-exercising- bingeing cycle and I could not face another diet.
It has been incredibly challenging to move away from a well-engrained diet mentality, calorie counting and control, but within just a few sessions with Milda, I understood where I’ve been going completely wrong. Finally, I can proudly say that I see food as fuel and nourishment, not as a coping mechanism for life’s stresses.
Thank you for your helpful insights and warm support Milda, I can honestly say that you have changed my life. I am feeling my healthiest, strongest and most confident than I have in years and it’s all thanks to you!
Recovered from bulimia and gained food freedom
"I was suffering with bulimia for over 10 years when I decided to seek for help. I tried to get help through my GP, but it was taking too long and I couldn’t wait any longer. I was constantly feeling anxious and unable to complete even the simplest of tasks. I realised I reached rock bottom and it was time for a big change.
Although I was terrified of the idea of weight fluctuations and thought I will never be able to eat as a ‘normal’ person, I always felt supported and understood when working with Milda. No matter how hard it would get, I would leave every session more hopeful and with a smile on my face.
I finally feel like I am not a slave anymore and a truthful, authentic person! I can enjoy my life without compulsive eating or worrying about food or my body shape. I am full of energy and passion for life, I feel like I am capable to achieve anything!"
"I appreciate your work so very much, Milda. I feel like you recognize and encourage exactly the right things that most people just don’t get the significance of. Your coaching makes me feel grounded and you have been an unbelievable support and role model during this process. I wouldn’t be where I’m at without you!!"
"Milda was friendly and positive and extremely attentive. She understood very quickly what I needed and had lots of ideas and suggestions which have helped me make real-life changes very quickly and effectively. I plan to work with Milda long-term to set great foundations for my relationship with food. She is an asset. Highly recommended."
"When I came to Milda I was at risk of being admitted to hospital with anorexia. I was scared to take the first steps and admitting that I had a problem was hard. However, due to our work together I feel much healthier and think about food less, am more productive and confident with my own choices. Plus, I advanced in my career, which I don't think I could have done previously, given my restrictive habits."
Improved routines and nutrition with ADHD
"I would recommend Milda's sessions to everyone, and ESPECIALLY people who are neurodiverse! She tailors a programme in so much detail to your preferred foods, your dietary requirements, your health needs and even helps with any supplements you need to ensure you are feeling good and eating well in a very accessible way. Her sessions have given me the confidence to know what to put in my body and get excited about it!
Milda herself is wonderful as she has a very calm and knowledgeable approach which helps so much with anyone, but particularly us folks with neurodiversity!"

Overcame binge eating after 15 years
"I have probably tried every diet, meal plan and diet shake on the planet, just to realise (over 15 years later) that it doesn’t work and the weight ALWAYS comes back! I decided to seek help after my binge eating got out of control and I would just ‘inhale’ food. Although subconsciously I still wanted to lose weight, I was fed up with being stuck in the cycle of binge eating and self-loathing.
Used to diet mentality, I still expected quick, instant change and I was struggling to accept that my body needs time to heal and readjust. So grateful I had the incredible support of Milda to get me through these tough times of making peace with food, as I would have thrown the towel in after a few weeks of doing it by myself!
I am proud to say I now am a truly intuitive eater and I can trust myself to have only one slice of cake and eat when I’m hungry. My anxiety around food is gone and I have never felt more confident in my own skin!"
Recovered after 20 years of disordered eating
"Having suffered from emotional eating for over 20 years, I was starting to lose hope and get more and more depressed. From dieting, to bulimia, to binge eating… I tried so many tools and saw so many people, I thought that I will never be ‘normal’ around food.
Although I heard only good things, I was still terrified to start coaching with Milda, as I’ve been this way for so long and the idea of change scared me. I was convinced my weight with spiral out of control, but Milda has given me simple, great practical tools and techniques to keep me on track when fear would get too much.
This journey is so much more than just making peace with food…it has helped me realise that I am so much more than just how my body looks like and that I am a talented, loving and kind person. I never thought I would say that, but I feel empowered to live my life to the full and inspire others to do the same."
Trust around food after 13 years of binge eating
"Dieting, bulimia and poor body image has been part of my life for more than 13 years before I finally committed to recovery. I couldn’t take another day living in such misery and after another disappointing Christmas I decided to commit to finally changing my life.
Previously I have read some self-help books, but have never taken the right steps to follow through with the programmes to make me better. I knew I needed to be fully accountable and find somebody who truly understood what I was going through. I feel so blessed I found Milda! She always gives me such wonderful advice, solid guidance and hope.
I cannot believe how far I have come and when I look back I am so proud. My food obsession is completely gone, I can finally trust myself around food and all the body image issues seem much smaller when I think back to the hell I used to live in. I am proud of looking at my body with compassion and loving eyes! I cannot believe that it has been just over a year since I had my last binge! Never thought I will EVER be able to say that.
Stopped compulsive eating after 27 years
"I have suffered from compulsive overeating for 27 years and I couldn’t even remember what ‘normal eating’ is anymore. I was a serial dieter, turned binge eater. I tried to recover three times in the past, however, I was convinced that there is no hope for me in making peace with food.
Although recovery can be hard work as and it can be tough to break old habits, it gets easier and easier every week. I am so happy I am getting closer to the 8th-month binge-free anniversary. I try not to get too excited and stay focused on recovery, but hooray, currently my life is fabulous. Life without bulimia is so fantastic, I have better skin, thicker hair, I have more energy, I can concentrate better.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your help, it has been extremely valuable. I am finally ready to let go and carry on by myself, as I feel I am completely equipped to do so. You are the perfect coach, read between the lines and know exactly how to respond to keep me motivated and on the right path. I will never forget your support and I express sincere gratitude."

Overcoming bulimia after 17 years
"When I went to Milda, I had been struggling with bulimia for 17 years. Stuck in a cycle of restricting and over-exercising and then bingeing and purging. My physical health was not very good with unpredictable and missing periods and poor digestion. My mental health was very up and down with very high periods followed by very low periods.
I was really impressed with the whole process. Milda is such a great professional but at the same time very down-to-earth and personable. She obviously put a lot of thought and care into our sessions and in between her sessions too with research, sending me resources and ordering supplements.
Whenever I thought we had hit a dead end, Milda thought of a new avenue to try and never gave up on me! I enjoyed our sessions and learnt so much. I now have not made myself sick for over six months – I couldn’t have done this without the care attention and knowledge Milda gave me. Thank you so much, I can't recommend Milda enough!!!"
Enjoying more foods without fear in anorexia recovery
"In moving to university, I knew that I needed support to become more responsible for looking after myself nutritionally as well as restore weight in order to be more healthy and fully recover from anorexia.
It has been amazing to work with you, I feel like your insight has been so grounding during a time that has been challenging but also incredibly rewarding. Sessions have often been difficult and confronting but I have appreciated being able to be completely honest, in the knowledge that I can trust in your support. I've been able to challenge myself because of your encouragement to step outside my comfort zones and push my boundaries.
I feel like I'm able to enjoy so many more situations now because I'm no longer terrified of the food that might be involved. My life has opened up because I can enjoy food in a social way, and this has been the most rewarding part of my recovery so far."
Practical tools to stop binge eating
"I was binge eating regularly and this was having a huge impact on my daily life, happiness and self-esteem. I also had problems with being kind to myself as well as managing my stress and anxiety levels. I have felt comfortable talking through things I have found difficult to share and I liked how practical the sessions have been. I have found the homework activities really helpful to make meaningful and long-term changes to my life.
Our sessions equipped me with the tools and helped me identify and change things in my day/week/life as necessary to look after myself well. This has given me a lot of hope and confidence for the future. Also, I can get myself back to feeling good if I have a setback/time of feeling low again."
Reducing binge eating after four decades
"I have been emotionally eating since I was 15, after borderline anorexia followed by bulimia and this was all exacerbated by long-term depression, anxiety and OCD.
Working with Milda has been terrific. She is warm and compassionate, non-judgmental, and kind.
I feel happier about the whole situation and more in control of myself. I finally feel as if I can make peace with my eating/bingeing and go forward in a much more relaxed manner. I can't recommend Milda highly enough. She has changed my outlook towards food and calories and has helped me see that being kind to oneself is imperative. I don't want to finish my sessions!"
Breaking binge eating cycle after a decade of avoidance
"I worked with Milda last year on dealing with my disordered eating, this was a very deeply routed issue that I had been avoiding for the last at least ten years. Milda was incredibly patient with me, took time to get to know me so that she could give me the correct information and advice. I had so much information and help from tasty recipes to sleep advice, there was nothing Milda didn't think of.
If you have been struggling with disordered eating, making peace with food and know it's come time to get some help with food control, then please do look to Milda. She is caring, empathetic, patient and absolutely fantastic at what she does.
When I came to Milda I was broken and messed up and the only way I could think to medicate the pain I felt inside was through food. She helped me to break the cycles and habits and I will be forever grateful to her for giving me light when all I could see was dark. I can't explain how much Milda helped me to change my life, but I do believe that she can help you change yours too."
Reducing binge eating after years with yo-yo dieting
"I had been yo-yo dieting for years, got to ‘my goal weight’ many times but was never able to keep it off. I was still focused on weight loss and after completing a nutrition course, I became even more confused about what I ‘should’ & ‘shouldn’t’ eat which led to more emotional eating and so the cycle would have continued!
Like all programs, I had my reservations, if Milda was going to be any different to ‘other’ professionals, but I have really enjoyed working with her. Milda is SO knowledgeable and although I would say it hasn’t always been easy, she has adapted the programme to suit my needs – she has been very supportive, encouraging and persuasive, and helped me get through really difficult times. You are such a lovely person Milda, full of support, knowledge, patience, and understanding."
