Eat an entire sleeve of cookies when you’re not even hungry.
No matter what the number is on the scale it never brings peace.
Too embarrassed about your belly to remove your shirt during sex.
Terrified your "bad behaviors" with your food and body will pass onto your children.
Swearing to give up eating sugar only to be drinking a mocha whip latte an hour later.
Afraid you will always feel awful when you look in the mirror
Obsess Obsess Obsess about what you look like.
Force yourself to go to the gym when all you really need to nap

Hi. I’m Marla Mervis-Hartmann.
Ever since I can remember, I have had an issue with my body. I was always concerned with what I looked like and did many things to control my weight: over-exercising, under eating, throwing up, cleansing, and restricting certain ‘bad’ foods. Nothing I did ever helped my disgust and body shame. I would lament, cry, and ultimately sooth myself with food.
I was on a cyclical pattern – restrict, overeat, shame, and repeat.
I remember a particularly miserable day. It was a challenging time in my life, my boyfriend had just left me and my career was nowhere to be found. I was at the gym. I got on the scale to find that I was the thinnest I had ever been. I was shocked!
I was so unhappy despite having reached my ideal weight.
It was on that day that my illusion was shattered: being thin DID NOT equal being happy! I always thought that once I got this ‘food’ thing figured out and I hit that magic number on the scale that my life would be in order, SO NOT TRUE!!!!
During my road to recovery, I have received support in many forms: therapy, Over-eaters Anonymous, family and friends, Positive Thinking Techniques, Reiki, Tantra, self-help books. All of these techniques were helpful however none of them actually worked.
It was only when I FINALLY SURRENDERED that I actually started looking and feeling better. Now, I love my body more than I ever have and it shows.
My journey has been a long one that I honestly believed would never end. You don’t have to take the long road like I did. I promise you that you can stop self-hatred actions and change your life.
There is a way to get from ‘trying’ to love yourself to ACTUALLY LOVING YOURSELF and the way you look. I will hold your hand and help you on your journey.
There is another way of living. I know it because I’m FINALLY living it! You can, too. Join us today.
Constantly comparing yourself to others wishing your body looked like ‘hers’.

Reiki can feel like magic. All of a sudden the blockage melts away, the problem finds its solution, and pain is replaced with relief. Stress turns into grace and ease, and Love (especially self-love!) is discovered and renewed. In my 16 years of practicing and teaching Reiki, I have found that to be the case for me.
