Food Empowerment: It’s Time to Break the Cycle

If the idea of “food empowerment” strikes an inner bell with you, then I need to share this program with you!
My Food Empowerment Program can help set you up for life-long success around food. It will help you rediscover pleasure and joy as well as an understanding of what triggers you to turn to food when you aren’t physically hungry. You’ll begin to learn what works for you — and what doesn’t — so you may start to walk down the path of food empowerment yourself.
Let’s shift the power away from the food, and back to you where it belongs.

Why Food Empowerment?
Why do women who are successful and in control at work and in other aspects of their lives struggle to feel in control around food? How does food end up with all the power?
I hear it over and over again:
- “Why can’t I just stop eating?”
- “Why don’t I have any willpower?”
- “What’s wrong with me?”
It’s NOT about having willpower and there’s nothing wrong with you! So, isn’t it time you received the support you need and deserve so you can finally stop asking those questions? Instead …
Imagine what your life could be! Imagine the freedom …
Imagine your life if you no longer used food to manage emotions.
Imagine feeling in control around food and eating when hungry and easily stopping when full.
Imagine feeling NO shame or guilt around food.
Imagine being at your healthy weight and maintaining it with ease … and without feelings of restriction.
Imagine feeling good inside your own body and having fun choosing your daily outfit again.
Imagine finally knowing how to nurture yourself with nourishing food.
My Food Empowerment program can help make it happen!
Food Empowerment Program
This program is NOT just another diet. Instead, it is a comprehensive program that helps to reveal the science and the whys behind yo-yo dieting and emotional eating so you can finally flip the triggers and take back control.
This program is specifically designed to help women who are high-achievers in every other aspect of their lives begin to get back their power over food. It will provide the missing information, as well as the support you need, to start to release shame and guilt and regain confidence when it comes to food and how you feel in your own body.
You’ll walk away from this program with …
- An understanding of what drives emotional eating for you, how to achieve food empowerment, and how to put it into action
- Identification of the harmful habit loops that keep you stuck and some practical ways to help you begin to change them
- Reduced episodes of emotional eating
- Practical tools and approaches for avoiding emotional eating
- Alternative strategies for managing emotions without food
- Recipes and ideas for nutrient-dense, delicious, and satisfying meals

Is the Food Empowerment Program for You?
If you’ve struggled to find a solution to the gaining and losing (over and over again) of the same 20-30-40-50 pounds …
If you often feel out of control around food and lament a lack of willpower …
If you feel guilt or shame around how and what you eat …
If you’ve tried every diet under the sun and found yourself saying, “I’ll start Monday” more times than you can count …
If you find yourself asking, ‘why can’t I make quick work of losing this weight, like I make quick work of every other thing I deal with each day?’
… Then this program is made for you.
You’ll thrive in this program if you’re open to new ideas and different approaches, and are ready to tackle habitual behaviors — and their root causes. This program is about helping you create a foundation for lifestyle changes that create long-term impact.
Food Empowerment is about making sure that you feel as comfortable and empowered in your own skin as you feel in the other areas of your life — and stopping the cycle of emotional eating for good.

How Does it Work?
The Food Empowerment Program is an 8-week, virtual group program.
We’ll meet weekly on a 90-minute Zoom call from October 17 – December 12 to explore the topic of the week together and receive group coaching.
Additionally, you receive …
• Weekly tools and exercises
• Invitation to a private Facebook group where you’ll find daily support, and additional information and details on the week’s topic from me, answers to your questions, inspiration, and support from other participants in the group
• My Recipe Guide
• Weekly program materials
• An additional weekly coaching “office hours” call in which any participant can show up and ask questions and/or receive help with the weekly exercises as needed. No one is required to attend the entire call, but it could prove helpful to hear other participants’ questions and challenges and the solutions I offer.

What Clients Have to Say
Marcie took me out of a very dark place where I felt like food had control over my life. She understood everything I was going through and was able to provide me with the right amount of support and education. I was able to learn how to nourish myself better and get out of the restrict/binge cycle. She helped me understand how to enjoy food, eat nutrient-dense foods, and feed my body the right way to feel energized. I’m no longer restricting or binging. I would not be where I am today without Marcie.
I am so grateful for having the opportunity to have met and worked with Marcie – she’s one of a kind. I was surprised to uncover that I was allowing food to have too much control over me and was an emotional eater. When I revealed my “secrets” to Marcie, she accepted me openly and without judgment. We worked collaboratively on tools I could tap into to change my patterns. Thanks to Marcie’s program, I’ve lost about 18 pounds and have been more in touch with my physical body and emotional eating tendencies. I’m still on my journey and I know my goals are obtainable if I focus on my newly developed stronger inner voice.
Marcie is the first person who truly understands my issues with food. Doctors and nutritionists have dismissed them for years. Knowing that I could tell her anything and not be judged or dismissed was such a relief.
Any behavior change is difficult, so having someone’s support is essential. Marcie has a way of figuring out exactly how to help you so that it feels natural to take care of yourself.

About Marcie

Marcie Desmond
Nationally Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach is ready to help you break the cycle of emotional eating and find empowerment, joy, and freedom around food once again.
My Food Empowerment Program was designed as a first — and vitally important — step in the journey to regain control and install a sense of hope and empowerment in women who struggle with yo-yo dieting and emotional eating. I struggled with emotional eating since I was a teenager and finally broke free in my fifties.
I know what it’s like to feel the power shift from food back to me—I want you to experience that feeling, too! So, I created this platform and program to put key information and understanding into participant’s hands. Information and understanding that can truly make a deep, positive impact.
On top of the 25+ years of corporate and executive-level experience I bring, I’ve invested time and effort in my own health education and training to become a nationally Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach who focuses on food empowerment:
- I went through a year-long training with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.
- I immersed myself in a three-month intensive specialist training in emotional and binge eating and am a certified Eating Freely practitioner.
- I took — and passed — the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaches (NBHWC) national board exam, which is given in collaboration with the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME).
This list is to share that when you participate in this program, you will not only receive the heart-centered and compassionate support we all deserve, but you can be assured that the information and knowledge I share is based in health science and not the latest fad or trend.
