Getting to know Peggy Dunn
Many of the women I work with are extremely capable and successful in their careers, yet they feel frustrated that food seems to be the one area of life they cannot fully control. Emotional eating often develops as a response to stress, exhaustion, or emotional overload. In our work together we explore the deeper patterns driving these behaviors so you can develop a healthier relationship with food and feel confident in your body again. I also provide specialized coaching programs for clients who want to go deeper into transforming their relationship with food and building sustainable health habits. Using my signature Release It Now!TM 5-Step Process, I help clients heal from the inside out ‚ restoring peace, self-worth, confidence, and emotional resilience.
When you heal the emotional roots beneath your behaviors, lasting freedom follows.
How I Help: The Release and Heal It Now!TM 5-Step Process
This isn't a quick fix. It's a proven, structured, and compassionate method to help you identify, heal, and release the underlying causes of your emotional and behavioral struggles ‚ creating room for a healthier, happier you.
1 REVEAL: Uncover What's Really Going On
Emotional Eating, anxiety, depression, stress, and burnout are symptoms of deeper emotional wounds and unhelpful thought patterns.
2 RELEASE: Let Go of Limiting Beliefs and Emotional Blocks
This creates space for healthier beliefs and habits to take root.
3 REPROGRAM: Reshape Your Thoughts, Rewire Your Reactions
Your brain can be retrained. In this phase, we'll install new, empowering thought patterns and coping strategies.
4 RESTORE: Build Sustainable, Healthy Habits
Healing isn't just mental ‚ it's physical and emotional too. Together, we'll create simple, sustainable habits.
5 REJOICE: Celebrate Progress, Foster Gratitude, Live Joyfully
Recovery isn't linear ‚ it's about progress, not perfection.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
