Holistic Counsellor and Body Image Transformation Coach,  author of The Personal Peace Journal, and the upcoming  The Body Peace Journal

Having spent most of her life feeling she was the ugly duckling, Sandy has first hand experience of the body image blues! She finally faced and conquered those demons and now helps other women learn the truth about how the diet industry sets us up to fail, and how to deal with our emotions and beliefs about our bodies in the most powerful way.

She is an expert in helping women process their emotions, and will work live on the line with a few women to help them shift feelings and beliefs about their bodies.

Sandy believes that everything we experience in body, mind, and spirit, makes us who we are and that trying to think our way into new ways of being is the hard, slow path. Sandy uses the leading-edge tools of energy psychology such as EFT meridian tapping, and intentional processes along with NLP, to help us identify and clear our painful thoughts and feelings about our bodies.

Sandyworked live on the call with three volunteers, who were open, generous, and articlulate. Thank you Dianne, Ann, and Mindy.

    Thanks so much to Diane, Mindy, and Ann – what wonderful generous women you all are to allow us to listen in and benefit from your shared experiences….I was tapping away with you all!

    thank you, Anne, for the accolades. It’s a good thing it wasn’t Skyped, because you would have seen a look of sheer terror before Sandy started talking! LOL It felt a little silly to be tapping away, but I envisioned others tapping with me, so you helped me be able to do it too! Thanks.

    Thank you, Sandy, for this marvelous experience! What a gift you have given all of us with your vision, your focus, your energy, and your compassionate wisdom. I have learned SO much about myself, about how society tries to influence me about my body, about myself as a woman, and there’s a small rising up in me that says NO, I AM NOT UGLY BECAUSE I AM NOT A SIZE 2……..MY WORTH IS NOT CONNECTED TO THE SIZE OF MY BUST…….and YOU DO NOT HAVE MY PERMISSION TO BELITTLE ME BECAUSE I DON’T LOOK LIKE A RUNWAY MODEL.

    And when you did the tapping with me, I could feel that feeling of being overwhelmed suddenly shift to something outside my body’s experience. It was as if I was watching myself feel that way, but the part of me that was watching myself didn’t feel overwhelmed. I felt a little hesitant to say that because I was afraid it would be a wrong answer, but I knew more than anything you wanted truthfulness from us, so I summoned all my courage and told you how it felt afterwards. Imagine my surprise when you were excited about it!!! LOL My thought process before I said anything was “well, as I am at the end of the tape, she can always cut it off if I’ve said something bizarre!”

    Thank you for the experience, for inviting me to be a participant, for the tool I can use with other things that come up in my life, and for the whole seminar! I LOVED IT ALL!!!!!!!!

    Dianne thank you for your courage and your honesty. You’re absolutely right, what I wanted was for each of you to just notice what was going on with you, and tell me that – and you did. It was just perfect :) Your experience was unusual, because it can take people a long time to get that detachment, and some never do. It’s an indication, I think, of how ready your bodymind is for you to make some changes – which you’re doing. GOOD ON YOU :)

    I love your statement – you do not have my permission to belittle me becuase I don’t look like a runway model. Remember what Eleanor Roosevelt said – no one can make you feel inferior without your permission. You’ve just withdrawn yours. How powerful are YOU? :)

    It’s been such a pleasure working with you – my very warmest wishes to you :)

    I came in late to the call, but what I did catch was very valuable.

    The second to caller you helped was feeling overwhelmed. After the EFT process she described feeling detached. I just loved the comment about observing instead of absorbing the feelings. I think that if I paused for a moment and observed my feelings before reaching for an unfulfilling brownie, I may have more success at breaking the binge cycle that I often find myself in.

    I can’t wait to listen to the lecture from the beginning so I can fully appreciate the process!

    Really and truly enjoyed the class,I have had a couple of meltdowns the past few days and this was able to help/ I’m not feeling so overwelmed and I was able to take cleansing breaths and did not really have the feelings there. I cannot thank you enough for all your insights in this, I don’t really believe I have heard of this before and I feel so good to have this in my ability to set aside the negative feelings.. Thank you so much, I look forward to practicing this again.

    Thank you Sandy for putting on such a fabulous series! I have gained so much from each and every speaker. I have started putting new habits into action to make myself healthier… I’m even starting to FLY. I’m looking forward to working through my Peace Journal as I could see from your call how beneficial it will be for me with where I am at right now. The Body Image Revolution has already made a huge difference in my life, such wonderful positive changes that I will be sure to pass on to my daughter. Thank you again!

    How can something so “easy” so powerful? I haven’t used this EFT process before, yet am excited about the possibilities in my life. Sandy. Thank you.

    Now more importantly, WHAT on earth am I going to do every night before bed without my nightly dose / fix of body revolution? 

    Am going to have to do tapping for release of addiction to Body Revolution. 

    Can’t wait for the sequel.

    Hugs till next time.

    This series has been very informative I have downloaded it so I can use and share the lessons gleaned from it with my Mom and my daughters. Self worth is something we as a family need to work on. As the caller said negative self image is the problem.

    Mary, you’ll be giving your daughters a wonderful gift – self-worth is the cornerstone of everything!

    OK– I’m amazed. I had never heard of EFT before but must admit that it sounded very odd. But- As I was listening to the call today, I was struck with the ability to “borrow benefits” by participating along with your volunteers and was willing to give it a try.

    When you first began speaking of the empty feeling in the stomach of the first volunteer, I was so shocked to realize that I have a huge empty feeling in my stomach as well, and that I have tried to fill it with a bunch of unhealthy practices: snacks, diet sodas, more food surrounding EVERY social gathering, drinking wine, inactivity, becoming a homebody, accumulating clutter in my home and garage and workplace, and keeping extras of unneeded things to save for a “rainy day”. How silly. Obviously these actions have done nothing to fill that empty feeling, rather they have promoted unhealthy living and isolation. No wonder diets and exercise programs have failed!

    After borrowing the benefits of todays session and trying some more tapping by myself, I feel amazing. I can no longer locate that empty feeling in the way it felt this morning. I feel energized and motivated. I love it!

    Thank you for introducing this to me. I am eager to continue working with it

    Sandy Reply:

    Donna, EFT does sound odd, and that tapping under the arm thing – what the? And then you feel the shift… Thank you for describing your experience so beautifully :) Remember, you may need to use the process more than once, and different aspects may pop up – you just tap them away!

    Thnk you for your support :)

    Donna, though it’s a tough call to choose a favourite comment, I have chosen yours – I think the big realisation you had, one of the amazing things we see often in EFT, was so powerful. I hope you’ll enjoy the Gold package :)

    Ah well I was delaying responding until I had some good news. There was a software upgrade last week and all seemed fine… I have the techs looking at it now, they can’t figure out what broke :( The info is all still there it just can’t be accessed! I hope to have good news on it in a day or two. Please hang in there… (I’m tapping for my frustration about it ! ;) )

    Sandra,

    This Body Image Revolution couldn’t have come at a better time for me. As I’ve mentioned previously, I have come a point in my life where I feel of very little value. A lot of this is due to my being overweight. My husband keeps asking when I will find happiness within myself. I don’t even know what that would look like. I desperately want to learn to love and accept myself no matter what I look like, which is why I signed up for this, although my busy life and distractions kept me from being able to participate until the very end. I know I missed out on a lot of valuable information. Perhaps I can get in on another one when you do this again. Thanks for your dedication in helping women conquer this soul shattering issue!

    Wow! That was an amazing experience to listen in to the EFT .. tapping therapy sessions! Thanks too to Mindy, Ann & Dianne for sharing your personal pains with Sandy & us for this demonstration.
    It was truly unique to be enabled to listen in & observe this therapy technique which I have never heard of before. It certainly warrants further investigation!
    Sandy your lovely gentle, calm, soothing voice is therapy in itself and you conducted those challenging sessions so well! What a great idea to share in that way. Well done!

    The whole programme has been fabulous! Unfortunately I missed a few of the sessions but some I caught live & others I was able to replay. Thank-you so much for putting this whole series together . You are indeed a treasure!
    I never realised how many ‘of us’ ( specifically women with complex weight issues ) there are out there. So many have travelled/ are travelling this difficult journey! I feel I belong to a Club! That alone is great for the deeper issue of self-acceptance..
    but also I feel I have learned many new skills to put into pactise to live and love with joy. I feel invigorated and empowered to continue to continue.. in my own journey.. and my hope is that I can inspire others to do so too by sharing these skills.
    Lets celebrate life ! Thanks heaps Sandy! Blessings to you XX

    Aunty, thank you for your support and interest. I’m glad you liked EFT, it’s one of my favourite tools – so powerful and the fact that we can use it ourselves, for anything, is what makes it even more valuable, I think. I appreciate you taking part in this series, it’s been a real delight chatting with you all!

    Warm wishes

    Wow again! The benefits of this series are unmeasurable. Me and probably many of the listeners have learned so much from every person on each call. And we will spread it to the world!
    Sandy, I also like your soft voice and your caring “hmmhmms”. But what I like the most is how you listen to people. You really get their feelings without even seeing them. When the last women on the call said that she was “okey” but you could hear in her voice that she wasn’t, you didn’t just go on. The emotion was more important to you than the word she said. You don’t just listen with your ears but with your HEART. – I wish that more people would do this.
    Thank you for teaching me this important lesson.
    A big hug from Switzerland, Andrea
