Break the Cycle:
A Virtual Group for People Who Feel Out of Control Around Food
You've tried to control it. You've started over more times than you can count. This is something different.
You might be in the right place if...
You feel out of control around food and you don't fully understand why. You've been stuck in the restrict, binge, shame cycle for longer than you want to admit. You eat one way in public and a completely different way when no one is watching. You wake up with guilt and go to bed making promises you know you won't keep. You're exhausted from fighting yourself every single day around food.
And you're ready for something to actually change.
What Break the Cycle is:
Break the Cycle is an 8 week closed virtual group for people who are ready to understand what's driving their relationship with food and start healing it; without another diet, meal plan, or set of rules.
This is not a program about what to eat. It's about why food feels so loaded in the first place, and how to finally start feeling free around it.
What we will cover:
Diet culture and the wellness industry
Education behind restrict-binge-shame cycle

Carianne D’Oriano
I'm Carianne, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Body Trust Provider, and Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor based in New Jersey. I specialize in helping people who feel out of control around food find peace with food and their body without shame or restriction so they can pursue wellness on their own terms.
I created Break the Cycle because I know how exhausting it is to feel like food is running your life. This group is the space I wish more people had access to: small, safe, and completely judgment free.
