She's a 6-time author. Her first book, “You Can’t Eat Love: how learning to love yourself can change your relationship with food” is in the Amazon top 20 in at least 2 categories since it was released in January 2021. Like so many, it took a moment of extreme sadness for her to realize something had to change.  "I began on a journey to fix what I thought was broken. That was when I discovered the ‘myself-sized’ hole in her heart. That was when I realized I was not broken, just uninformed. I did not know how to love herself."  Now, she's on a mission to help others find their WHY to go on any journey of self-discovery, introduce them to their very best friend in the whole wide world, learn to love themselves, and live their best life. One of the results of learning to love herself and changing her relationship with food is that she not only lost but has kept off almost 100 lbs since 2017.  She will be 66 in  August and among my passions now are deadlifting (currently lifting 225 lbs and bench press 85) and helping others believe it is not too late.

With all the images in commercials and social media, girls and women often struggle with having a positive body image. This week we interview Debbie Saroufim, a Body Relationship Coach who helps women of all ages to develop a positive body image. She says: "It took me most of my adult life to be able to say I love my body. In fact, I spent most of my life hating my body and obsessing over what a “good body” looked like. From a young age, I was terrified of having a bad body. My mother, with the best intentions - but a very specific idea of what a good body is, wanted so badly for me to be happy with my body that she put me on a diet - when I was in the first grade. At some point... it became clear that my relationship with my body starts in my head - not in my abs or my glutes or anyplace else. No amount of squats or lunges or pullups is going to make me feel whole. This process of learning to love your body is not something you can turn on and off. It took me a long time to let go of the notion of good and bad." These days as a Body Relationship Coach, Debbie helps women to: Learn to love their body, even while working on it. Become immune to the negative messages fed to women by diet culture. Appreciate all the ways food can nourish them beyond mere nutrition. Connect with a community that will act as their cheerleaders and support system them as they work towards self-love.

She's on a personal mission to help you live the life you were meant for: one filled with vitality and confidence – free from what’s been holding you back from experiencing all you are meant for in YOUR lifetime. Until she was in her 50’s, her life was filled with sickness, disease, and debilitating anxiety. she was a yo-yo dieter, addicted to sugar, and constantly fatigued. she suffered from chronic migraines, immune and hormone imbalances, IBS, and digestive health issues.  As nasty as all of that was, this was the worst part: the weight kept creeping on, the wrinkles were getting deeper and the mid-life hormones were kicking in.  At my lowest, she hated looking in the mirror. What she saw there made me feel old, fat, depressed, and hopeless. she was miserable. By that point, she was a dieting refugee. In this episode of CYM Wellness, we'll discuss: 1.  What makes her so passionate about what she does?  2. What kind of a transformation did she go through after being a yo-yo dieter all her life which, led to her health issues? 3.  How does she, and her clients, make changes so that they are not overwhelmed;  4. How does she now maintain good energy levels without relying on sodas and chocolate?

Rachel Claire Farnsworth is a Transformational Life Changer who works with clients to release trauma to overcome physical and mental health issues affecting their lives. She specializes in helping people with anxiety, chronic pain, and autoimmune conditions, using advanced hypnotherapy methods to work with the subconscious mind and get to the root of the problem.  Rachel takes clients back to the moments when the issues began so that they can be understood, reviewed, and released. Regressing to the root cause is very powerful and effective as is discovering how, when, and why these issues began so that they can be overcome and released. RACHEL'S BIO  Rachel also uses Silent Counselling – a method that allows people to work through emotional pain without having to relive the pain and talk about it by working with acupuncture pressure points to release emotions. It has been described as EFT (tapping) on steroids! She is a Soul Speak Practitioner, Reiki Master, and best-selling co-author.  Before training in hypnotherapy, Rachel was a self-confessed skeptic who had a series of ordinary conventional jobs, including working in a bank and at a builder’s merchant. Her daughter Emily was diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis when she was just 18 months old and spent her childhood in and out of hospital, relying on strong medication to control the pain and reduce symptoms.  Rachel had trained in advanced hypnotherapy and decided to try a session with her daughter, who was then 14, in October 2018. Despite Emily being in the middle of a flare-up with her autoimmune disease, the swelling in her knees disappeared after just one session and she has been pain, symptom, and medication- free ever since.
