Kim Marshall's Bio:

Kim Marshall founded Kiss Goodbye To Ana following her own recovery from anorexia and bulimia. She now helps women with eating disorders and particularly anorexia, to feel more relaxed about food and their bodies, and to feel free without anxiety.

She discovered EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques - a therapy which involves tapping on meridian energy points on the body, similar to acupuncture but without the needles, which help us release negative emotions so we feel more calm and relaxed) which turned her life around and helped her become confident, positive, and relaxed about food and her body.

She became an EFT Practitioner and now helps others achieve the same, focusing on changing their mindset and addressing the root cause. She also became a Matrix Reimprinting Practitioner (an advanced form of EFT which helps replace negative memories with positive experiences). She is a member of both professional organisations, AAMET (Association for the Advancement of Meridian Energy Techniques) and EFTMRA (Emotional Freedom Technique and Matrix Reimprinting Academy).

She is a Thrive Global, The Mighty, Huffington Post and Recovery Warrior blogger. She has had blogs published by Beat and National Eating Disorders Association (Eating Disorders Charities) and has been interviewed on local radio, in the press and has been featured in Bella Magazine.

Kim feels completely recovered now and she writes to offer hope and encouragement, and provides practical advice and techniques on how others can give themselves the best chance to break free. She knows that some unfortunately haven’t had the same happy ending and her heart goes out to their families, and it is in memory of those tortured souls that she has written her first book. She prays that no one has to endure further suffering to the devil in their head.

EFT is a relatively unknown therapy but for herself and her clients, it has been life changing. She wants to bring awareness to this easy to learn yet powerful technique and show exactly how it can be used to help with recovery.
