"Working with Marcella was definitely one of the best decisions I've ever made. It was time to face an area of my life that I've always had problems with. Marcella's compassionate, loving and wise approach has been a godsend to me. I've delved into the emotional issues behind the weight and I feel like I am actually getting somewhere. I'm losing weight sustainably and coming into right relationship with my body. I feel lighter emotionally and physically and more confident in my own skin."

The struggles have cost you way too much, Babe—it's time for a different way
The thought of another diet fills you with dread. You've lost and gained the weight so many times you know another damn diet is not the answer.
Food is sometimes a comfort, sometimes an enemy. You'd love to just feel what you feel but have no idea how.
You constantly put others' needs first but never tend to your own heart or soul. You crave a life where your needs matter, too.
You would never say to your best friend the brutal things you say about your own body. Nothing about your appearance ever feels good enough.
You want to heal all of this but don't want to spend more money, time, and hopes on yet another thing that just leaves you feeling defeated.
You don't need to figure out how to fix this.
You just need to take the next small step forward.
Let's talk—you and me, 1-on-1—and let me help you uncover what’s really driving your behaviors and map out a plan for setting them free, sooner than you think.
"I am a totally different woman after doing this work. I am cooking and eating healthier meals. I have learned a lot about my body and how to accept and love it. I am down 30 pounds, I am not drinking, I have prioritized health and exercise in my life. I am a lot stronger and taking control of my life."
—Sandy D., Minneapolis, MN

"I wanted weight loss, this happened. But not by counting calories and cutting carbs. It happened because I healed myself from traumas that had plagued me for many years. Marcella breathed life back into my soul. I have immense gratitude for this life-altering journey.”
—Pam H., Cascade CO
I’m Marcella Friel, founder of the Women, Food & Forgiveness Academy, author of Tap, Taste, Heal, and a lifelong student of forgiveness and feminine wisdom.
For more than three decades I’ve walked a path of spiritual practice and recovery, rooted in Buddhist teachings and 12-Step living.
These traditions taught me that genuine freedom is born from compassion toward ourselves and service to others.
This is the spirit in which I welcome you: one heroine to another, remembering who we are, together.
“Intuitive and wise, Marcella sees from her third eye. She can move mountains in assisting women on their Heroine’s Journey.”
