Eating Disorders
Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
Shelley brings a rare combination of expertise as a former registered dietitian turned hypnotherapist. Hypnotherapy can be supportive for many people with past or present disordered eating patterns. My trauma-informed, non-diet approach helps reduce shame, increase safety, and rebuild trust with your body. In some cases, collaboration with other providers may be recommended.

Eating Disorders
Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
Eating disorders affect both the mind and the body, often creating tension, disconnection, and a complicated relationship with food and self-image. Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy engage both body and mind, helping individuals safely explore emotions, reconnect with bodily sensations, and develop a more compassionate, balanced, and grounded relationship with themselves and their bodies.

Eating Disorders
Carol D.B. Whaley Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Eating Disorders develop as a way of navigating deep unresolved emotional pain and trauma. All our emotions and trauma are stored in our bodies. Working with eating disorders involves not only navigating the behavioural symptoms of disordered eating but more importantly developing a compassionate relationship to the body by connecting in, to where the emotional pain is stored. Together, with compassion and understanding we work on lifting the shame connected to body image and the external ways that has been created, then facing the deeper internal emotional issues at the root. It is possible to fully heal from disordered eating.

Eating Disorders
Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Eating disorders are often more than struggles with food—they can be expressions of deeper emotional and developmental experiences. I approach these patterns as adaptive responses, where behaviors such as restriction, bingeing, or control serve a purpose in regulating distress or unmet needs. Together, we explore the underlying emotional roots, often shaped by early experiences and environments where feelings were difficult to express. Through building awareness, emotional safety, and self-compassion, the work moves beyond symptom management toward a more integrated and lasting healing.
