​
Romi has devoted much of her professional life to supporting individuals with Food, Eating and Body Image difficulties.
Her approach challenges societal views and myths relating to diets, eating and weight. She supports clients to be their own expert and not rely on the advice (or rules) of others to nourish themselves.
Romi's methods include teaching people how to eat when they are hungry; choose foods that nourish their bodies; stop when they are full; and to eat mindfully.
​Romi has countless individuals to obtain complete freedom from the constraints of disordered eating and body obsession.
​
More importantly, Romi has seen that through cultivating an intimate awareness of how we relate to food and eating, we open a gateway to all aspects of ourselves, which can be used to transform our lives completely.
Romi also works with people suffering from other difficulties such as anxiety, panic-disorder, depression, work/career dissatisfaction, relationship issues, parenting, and end of life or grief related struggles.
​
She is a strong advocate of mindfulness and meditation techniques and integrates them in her work. Her methods are based on scientific evidence-based methods and utilize experiential techniques, anecdotal stories and an abundance of humour.
