About Marcella Friel
A supportive approach to transforming your relationship with food and your body.
Food and Body Image Coaching
Marcella Friel works with individuals who want to build a healthier, more peaceful relationship with food. Her coaching addresses the patterns that keep people stuck — whether that means recurring cravings, binge episodes, emotional eating, or persistent negative feelings about one's body.
At the heart of her practice is the understanding that eating struggles are rarely just about food. They are often tied to deeper beliefs and emotional habits. Marcella helps clients explore those connections in a safe, supportive environment.
How EFT Supports the Process
Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) is a self-help tool that Marcella integrates into her coaching. EFT can help individuals identify and release the negative beliefs and behaviors that underlie unhealthy eating patterns. By working with both the emotional and practical sides of eating, clients can move toward lasting change.
Areas of Focus
- Overcoming emotional eating and food cravings
- Reducing binge episodes
- Improving body image and self-acceptance
- Building sustainable healthy eating habits
A Compassionate Approach
Marcella's coaching is grounded in compassion, not judgment. She understands that change takes time and that every person's journey with food is unique. Her role is to guide, encourage, and provide practical tools — not to prescribe rigid diets or quick fixes.
Sessions are available to clients in Sonoma, California and Crestone, Colorado.
