What People Are Saying
“I simply cannot overstate how much working with Oriana has helped me in my recovery journey from my 30 years of anorexia. Her patient, compassionate, approach has enabled me to build trust that she not only “gets it” but can help me through the fear and anxiety I face as I challenge my disorder. Her ability to hold what I say without judgment allows me the chance to explore various aspects of my eating disorder with her so that we can brainstorm what we think will and won’t work to get me to where I want to be. But perhaps most importantly, she gives me hope that I, too, can recover and live the life I want to live.”

"Working with Oriana is an absolute pleasure. We have collaborated on various eating disorder presentations, and it is obvious that Oriana is extremely passionate about the field. Her dedication to NEDA and eating disorder coaching has shown through the presentations we have done together on topics such as: eating disorder prevention, intervention, and treatment, body image, Health at Every Size, and careers in the field. I would absolutely recommend Oriana as a speaker, advocate, and eating disorder coach!"

"Working with Oriana, The Body Project facilitator, we participated in projects that helped others feel worthy and comfortable with their bodies. As part of writing positive self-affirmations on Post-It notes and hanging them throughout the School helped us spread kindness within our School community which made us feel deserving and pure. Not judging others and just loving them brings out a positive light, and a whole different perspective about yourself."
