Robin Maynard Dobbs
After struggling many years with compulsive overeating followed by excessive exercise, I now live in harmony with my body and food is no longer an issue in my life. My recovery began when I found a book called Eating Awareness Training (EAT). By following the EAT process, I learned how to listen to my body’s messages, and gradually the cycle of bingeing ceased. I discovered the peace that comes from connecting to my body and becoming present when I ate. I call this process “coming home” because it’s such a sweet relief to stop the war with my body!

EAT was just the beginning of a life long study which included psychology, nutrition, and various healing modalities for the treatment of eating disorders. I became a Licensed Facilitator of Eating Awareness Training in 1991 and since then, I have developed the Aware Eating coaching process.

For 20 years, I have been helping women overcome obsession with food through life coaching, body awareness, mindfulness and connection to spirit. As an artist, I am passionate about helping others discover their creative expression. Inspired by a lifelong meditation practice, I teach others to look inside themselves for the wisdom they seek.
