I worked with Linn on six month programme and found her support outstanding. She really challenged me to lose my diet mentality that was leading me to deprive myself, which I was totally unaware that I was doing!

I worked with Linn over a 6 month period to help me understand my relationship with food. The most important skill Linn taught me was how to notice my emotional triggers and make better compassionate choices aligned to my health goals in that trigger moment. We explored the foods I eat and how to include more nourishing foods to make balanced meals that last longer (fuel my fire without the constant glucose spikes and drops). I broke my heavy reliance on coffee first thing to get going and I no longer reach for carbs and sugar for energy boosts. I have learned how other foods can give me the energy I need in very long days of working and studying.

I’m so happy with where I’m at now. I still have the odd day but ultimately I feel free from my old crippling habits and I now am able to tell when I’m hungry and when it’s just an emotional thing.

My experience with Linn has been amazing. From the very beginning, Linn has been understanding, knowledgeable, patient, non-judgemental, empathetic, and genuinely interested in supporting me. Her insight, combined with the practical tools she provides, has made a real difference in my journey. She created a safe space where I felt comfortable opening up without fear of judgement. Even during times when I felt I wasn’t progressing as much as I would have liked, I was always met with empathy and encouragement. This made me feel accepted regardless of how well—or not so well—I felt I was doing, which was incredibly important for my growth. Through our work together, I’ve gained valuable insight into myself, particularly around my eating habits—understanding the reasons behind it, the barriers keeping me stuck, and the key areas I need to focus on to move forward. Linn has helped me develop greater compassion, kindness, patience, and empathy towards myself. She has also helped me understand the importance of balance in my life—not just in relation to food, but across my overall mental health. As a result, my overall wellbeing has improved significantly. I’ve learned to lower my expectations, be less critical of myself, and approach challenges with a more supportive mindset. I am incredibly grateful for all the help and guidance Linn has given me throughout the journey.

My experience with Linn has been transformative, enlightening, healing and life changing. Linn has helped me understand things that have been a mystery to me my whole life, and has shed light on a dark subject. She has given me the gift of loving food and my body again and the tools to carry this forward through the rest of my life. I can’t thank her or recommend her highly enough.

Linn's knowledge of the deprivation cycle, and hunger combined with her nutritional expertise assisted me to bring in small important changes. I would recommend her mindful approach to nutrition and relationships with food.
