Hi, I’m teddey hicks.

I’m happy you’re here.

I want to help you enjoy your life again. I know how worrying about food and your body just paralyzes you, to the point that even going out to a simple dinner with friends becomes a stress-fest of worrying about what to order and whether to have dessert. I know the dread of trying to control yourself around delicious food you think you can’t eat, or having to avoid keeping certain things in the house because you’ll fly off the rails and inhale the entire package before you’ve even made it through one episode of Ted Lasso (I’m lookin’ at you, Oreos!).

I know what it feels like to be so distracted by the cheese tray across the room that you can’t even hear what Janice from Accounting is saying to you at the office Christmas party. I know the horror of waking up in the morning and recounting the mindless mouthfuls you robotically hoovered up the night before, and making yet another plan for how to redeem yourself and work off all those extra calories.

And I also know you’re probably freakin’ exhausted. If you’re anything like me, you’re at the stage of life where you don’t even care about having the perfect body anymore and have given up any hope of ever fitting into your prom dress again.

YOU. JUST. WANT. PEACE. You’re not trying to win any beauty competitions, but you would love to just wear clothes that fit and feel good, eat food you enjoy without any dread or anxiety, and just live your damn good life. I’ve helped many women do just that, and I can help you, too. I’m walking this path right beside you.

I remember the moment when my battle with food and my body came to a hit-you-over-the-head-with-a-frying-pan climax: I heard the words “binge eating disorder” for the first time, spoken by a retired tennis star revealing her lifetime struggle with food.

It was one of those moments when my brain kind of had a meltdown, and I felt like a vital piece of my own puzzle had suddenly fallen into place. In a zombie-like trance, I stumbled to my computer and searched for binge eating disorder treatment near my home.

Long story short: I am here now speaking to you as a woman who has recovered from multiple eating and exercise disorders and has spent most of her life trying to find peace with food and her body. I’m a certified health coach and intuitive eating counselor, and have trained in multiple energetic and mindset modalities such as Reiki, hypnosis, and tapping.

I’m happily navigating the world in a less-than-socially-acceptable body, and I love myself and I love my life and I eat what I want and exercise as much as I like and feel great every day. I have a great marriage and good sex and I like looking at myself in the mirror. It’s possible for you, too. I promise.

Love, Teddey

"What I got with Teddey was guidance...to come out a stronger, more fulfilled person.  I started out thinking I needed to fix my body and ended up making changes in self love and acceptance.  It's a wonderful journey that any one who struggles with body image would be lucky to be a part of.  I just wish I had done it sooner!
