Testimonials


Meaningful and joyous

“I saw Robyn when I was having difficulties with a myriad of things in my life. I was depressed about my primary relationship, fighting a life-long battle with compulsive overeating and trying to conceive. When I walked into Robyn’s beautiful practice room for the first time, all I could do was cry. She accepted me, just as I was and surprisingly this was the beginning of my journey to today. Today when life is not perfect, but its sooo much better than it use to be! I have a relationship with myself and significant others that is meaningful and joyous, an eating disorder that is somewhat in the past and two children! I am grateful to Robyn for being there and guiding me to a better life.”

I feel more freedom...

“Robyn has helped me come to terms with my past and all the crazy addictive and life threatening things I did to myself. She was very insightful and more importantly helped me uncover some home truths and amazing things about myself, which I’m now beginning to believe. I’m no longer held hostage by my past – memories are not longer nightmares, and they don’t take a strangle hold on my life and everything I try to do anymore. I feel more freedom in my choices and a future to look forward to.”
Natalie

Being authentic

“I had just given birth and it should have been a wondrous time in my life, but I was totally miserable. I crawled thought Robyn’s door feeling the lowest I had ever felt. I thought I should be feeling happy all the time and Robyn helped me realize that life is about being authentic, not happy. It’s such a relief to understand this – it takes all the pressure off to be perfect for everyone else. Now I’m enough for me and that’s happiness!“
