Testimonials

" I have to highly recommend Jamie Thompson for anyone interested in bringing healing to your relationship with body and food. Her work is amazing and I'm so grateful for what it's brought to my life: peace and relief from self-loathing, so much more awareness of toxic, external messaging, freedom to feel greater acceptance and love towards my body and others. 

Jamie is such a kind soul and incredibly sincere in her approach to this lifelong work. She holds space with humility, as another human on this path of healing, with insight and wisdom into the messy intricacies of body acceptance and diet culture. It is such a treasure to be held in safety as you work to dismantle the beliefs that keep you hating your body, and to have Jamie's guidance along the way. 

This is the kind of work, I feel, that can always fall to the end of the list of priorities, because it's for US, and we've always gotten away with functioning as is. But I just wish this spaciousness to feel greater self-love and acceptance for each of us..."

"I have been down this road for so long and I was so very tired. You name it, I’ve tried it. Weight watchers, Jenny Craig, optifast, “fat camp”, keto, low carb, low fat, gastric sleeve surgery.

My mom took me to my 1st weight watchers meeting at age 12. I was weighed in front of a room full of middle aged moms and made to tell what ‘got me here’. There is so much trauma, so much pain, so much rejection, shame, blame and contempt for living in the body I was born into.

And then I found my way here. Literally, by the grace of God. I found my way to a place where I did not need to be anyone other than who I was made to be, in the body that I have inhabited since birth. And I didn’t have to apologize for it. This is my body. It is a big body. It’s one that does not fit inside of diet culture and the all of the lies that have been fed to it for 47 years.

And yet, here it remains. Softened by the grace and love that has met me and my body in a place of love, acceptance and belonging. This program has shed light on a topic that has never been discussed. It has peeled back the layers of blame, shame, doubt and hatred for a body that has served me so well by holding all of this up for almost a half a century and continues to forge ahead, despite every reason I have for it not to. 

I speak to her differently. I have found community. I have found belonging. I have found a place where my value is no longer placed on what size or shape my body is, but in who I am. And I am welcomed and loved for all of it.

Jamie has helped me to begin navigating and righting this ship that has been steered so Ineffectively for so long.

If you are considering trying something new and different, something that fills you up rather than restricts you. Something that allows you to show up exactly as you are and not only be welcomed here but acknowledged and validated for it, this is your new home. You are so welcome here. Let’s begin this dig together."

"Jamie is knowledgeable and passionate; a natural teacher! Being part of her group has been life changing for me. She created a safe space in which I gained knowledge, felt shared vulnerable truths, and experienced internal shifts. While I know that body positivity is an ongoing journey, Jamie has been instrumental in helping me to chart a new course."

"I began working with Jamie, believing I didn't have many issues with my relationship with food. I quickly discovered two things.  

1.  This work is so much deeper than my relationship with food; it's about my relationship with my body, which is a component of my mental and spiritual health I was divorcing from myself. 

2.  I was defining "not having issues with my relationship with food" as being able to regulate my weight again and again through diet and physical activity. 

After delving into this work, I'm aligning with my whole self-and gosh; it feels so wonderful. I have a long way to go as I continue to recognize and break down beliefs that diet culture and patriarchy have enforced. Still, I'm committed to continuing this work with the tools, grounding, and community Jamie has provided. 

There are few people as open, authentic, and nurturing as Jamie. Her counsel and guidance have been such a gift. She’ll walk with you through this deeply personal journey, and I have been so grateful for her support. I know I couldn’t have made these strides without her."

"I have been working with Jamie for several months now. I remember my moment of surrender back in January, I remember calling her and saying this, “I have been trying to figure this out on my own for a solid decade, and I am finally ready to ask for help.” I had been on some sort of diet for the better part of the last two decades, and I was so frustrated and hopeless. I had been restricting all sorts of food groups, exercising for hours daily, and still I felt the same negativity towards my body and self. I don’t even think that I realized what an obsession diet culture had become for me and how deeply ingrained it was in my mind. I did not realize how disconnected I had become from my body and from the primary foods that ultimately feed your body and soul. I was completely lost. 

Jamie is amazing. She has taken this journey with me step by step, and she is willing to go where you need her to go with you. She provides amazing insight and encouragement along the way, while still allowing you to take the lead in your own journey. She is compassionate, and completely present for each session. It is truly genuine self care time. 

As a mama of 2 beautiful children, who is always looking to take care of everyone in life, my sessions with Jamie have become the time that I take to care for myself and refuel, and reflect on the choices that I am making when it relates to feeding and caring for myself. Jamie has taught me this time is necessary and important, and that I am worth it!
