About Georgann
I am a former dancer and ballet instructor who has experienced an eating disorder. I knew that I felt whole, alive, confident when I was dancing or teaching, but inadequate in my own life. I wondered why. I knew that when my mind, body and spirit were united I had a self. At other times I felt completely disconnected and inadequate. My journey led me to go back to school and to do my own therapy. I came to understand the need to stay connected to my body in every aspect of my life; to listen to its wisdom and its needs. I learned about the deep wounding that has been done to each of us and our world by hating our bodies, our deepest feminine selves. Whether we are men or women, we cannot live by valuing only our minds, unique and wonderful as they may be. During my studies, I felt called to be with others as a midwife, or guide, through their struggle with eating disorders, and hopefully to bring awareness to the healing possibility within each one of us, so that we may bring that healing to our world.
I am a licensed mental health counselor with a bachelors degree in Humanities from Marylhurst University in Portland Oregon and a master degree in Psychology from Antioch University, Seattle. I have worked in in-patient and out patient community health for 14 years and been in private practice for 12 years. I have written articles on eating disorders and spoken about them at a regional dance convention, groups and schools.
Living with an eating disorder is a very difficult, lonely journey to be on alone. If you feel that I may be of service, please contact me.
