Felix was very knowledgeable, kind and understood the root of the problem I have had since a child. He tailored the session to my life and examples that I could relate to and after a relaxing and informative session it felt like the fear around trying new food had been removed.I have since tried 12 new foods, a few of which I almost certainly couldn't have touched before the therapy - fried egg for example. I am still hesitant with some foods, but believe this is not due to fear of taste, texture or other associated fears I had before, but more perhaps a worry that something might be too spicy or fatty for me to enjoy. I will continue to work on trying these foods however to see what I can tolerate, I'm sure I will be able to get used to things. But rest assured, Felix's therapy has opened up a lot of new food-related opportunities for me.Many thanks.

I had ARFID for all my life as i remember , couldn't taste any new food and constantly having my own meal.It was really bothering me in my personnal life, sentimental life and work life. After my session with Felix i was able to try avocados, tomatos, philadelphia cheese, grappes and pomegranate at the end of the therapie. After that i was able to try cheeseburger, mozzarella stick and salsa sauce and a slice of pizza all of that in the same day ! It really changed my life i still try new foods daily and will continue for now on. Felix is really professionnal and know how to make you confortable during the session. Many thanks again Felix for what you did for me !

I had the most amazing experience! I didn’t believe it would work I was very unconvinced..but I walked away with my fear taken away from me and my life has completely changed I can’t thank him enough I will forever be grateful.

I am writing to thank and recommend Dr. Economakis for his research into and treatment of Selective Eating Disorders (SED). I am the mother of a client whose disorder began over 30 years ago. My son started eliminating foods from his diet at the age of 4. At the time, I thought he was just being fussy, as so many children can be. When it became clear to me that it was something more than that, I sought help for my son. I took him to any number of professionals – dentists, an oral surgeon, doctors, psychologists, counselors – and none of them would go past me to help him. It was always implied that I was being overly concerned and that he’d outgrow his problem. Well, he did not. As he went through school, he became more introverted and less likely to socialize. His diet was atrocious. It was tough to watch him suffer. We did the best we could to deal with it and devised our own coping mechanisms. Had he been a teenaged girl, I believe someone might have offered to help. In the meantime, my son finished university, went into the work force but still did not socialize much. He again tried a couple of counselors and nothing helped. When he told me he’d learned about Felix Economakis, I did some research and suggested he might as well just give it a try. After one session, I asked my son how it had gone. He said he didn’t notice any difference; however, I began to notice that the content of his conversations was changing. His attitude was different. Next thing I knew, he was asking how to cook different things, chatting about foods he’d tried and so on. He lives overseas so I couldn’t really see him in action, but when I did visit him, I was amazed at the things her was eating and the change in his demeanor and outlook. Not only was he eating better, he was losing weight (from the lack of an almost all pizza diet), doing new things, dating. I was amazed and am gratified that someone finally was able to help. I wish it hadn’t taken so long – almost 30 years. No mother wants to see her child suffer, even if the child is pushing 40! What is more, I never realized how much my son’s situation had affected me, but it’s not about me, after all. I’m just happy my son is happy. I don’t know exactly how Dr. Economakis does it, but he works wonders. I am beyond thankful to him for what he’s done. If you suffer from SED, or if you know someone who does, please contact Dr. Economakis.

although expensive it is highly worth the price as I have tried to eat healthy for almost 17 years without any movement forward. however 2 hours face to face with felix and he has helped me with that amazingly, before the session id never have thought of eating such things as pineapple and tangerines, but now I havve already eaten a few tangerines and more other foods that taste great and I couldn't be more thankful and I would encourage anybody to attend a meeting with felix and make a weekend out of it

It’s been a week since my Skype session with Felix, and all I can say is: what a life changing event! I am not gonna lie; I was a little skeptical when I first heard about him, and watched the first video of people trying new foods right after the session. Well I took my time, researched a little more, read testimonials and watched more and more videos… Finally decided to schedule the session because I was just fed up and so frustrated! I had seen other therapists, no success. I’ve had SED since I was around 3 years old, and couldn’t eat any veggies or most fruits. The crunchy texture was just too much for me. Couldn’t do it. The fact of only having “unsafe food” on my plate would make me feel really anxious. If by accident I felt a piece of something unknown in my mouth while chewing, immediate gagging, having to spit everything out. Just really embarrassing, especially in social events, friends reunions, and restaurants. Not to mention the health factor. I just used to get really concerned that I was missing out on a lot of nutrients and vitamins. Let me tell you: it works like magic! Felix is an outstanding therapist, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results! His wisdom, experience and unique approach made the difference. He knows what he is doing, no BS! Absolutely an amazing professional, with a beautiful and precious human side too! He knew more about me, and how I felt, than my therapist that I had been seeing for 6 months. Right at the end of the session, I tried fruits and veggies I’ve never had before!!! My husband and I couldn’t believe it! I didn’t love everything right away, but just the fact that I was able to actually try it, meant the world to me. This past week I’ve been trying/eating at least one new fruit/veggie a day. Again, not in love with anything in particular yet, as everything is still a little weird to my taste buds. I am taking my time, moving at my own pace, there’s no rush! Words cannot describe how happy I am! It’s so liberating! Felix, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for your amazing work! Thank you for making a difference in people’s lives!

Felix is an amazing human being! He has transformed my daughters life and I am forever grateful to him. He is very personable and makes you feel at ease which is something you cannot learn. I would highly recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

Felix changed my life permanently for the better. He helped me, where noone else could. I was in a very dark place because of my ARFID/SED and Felix has shown me a way out. I can eat so many more foods now, I lost a lot of weight (50+ pounds, still have a little more to lose!) and my social life has expanded beyond my belief. The only thing I regret is, that I didn't contact him sooner. I will be forever grateful for his help. If you suffed from ARFID/SED - go see him. Don't hesitate. Your life will be better for it.

For the last 40 years I have barely touched any fruit or veg, following a family member having seen Felix previously for a similar condition I took the plunge myself and couldn't be happier I had done so. I felt completely relaxed during the session, everything was explained and questions answered which helped me to understand exactly what my my body / mind was doing. By the end of the session, not only did I feel more confident about trying new foods but actually tried several things I wouldn't have touched even an hour before. Following the session and over the first weekend since my appointment I have been able to continue on with the momentum and have had a stir-fry, even ate all my veg with a roast dinner and have felt great doing so. I'm trying new food everyday and really enjoying doing so, I just wish I'd done something like this 20 years ago! I'd recommend Felix to anyone, I actually already have done so.

My daughter has suffered all her life with restrictive eating and was holding her back from eating at school and at home and she wanted to change. We went through the channels of our doctor and was referred on but it did not help my daughter. I saw a tv programme and began to research and came across Felix. My daughter saw him once and I can honestly say it has been life changing for her. The fear of food has completely gone and is trying new food all the time. If you or your children are suffering in the same way you must get in touch with Felix. We are so pleased we did. Thank you
